101 Things...

As I'm sitting here waiting for some good thunderstorms to brew (hopefully), a co-worker passed along an interesting list.

ESPN.com just published a list of 101 sporting events to see before you die. 1, 2 & 3 are Summer Olympics, The World Cup, and Winter Olympics (respectively). Of particular interest on down the list, though, is #17 - Michigan / Ohio State Football Game. Not too shabby!

ND fans will be glad to see that taking in any game at Notre Dame made it on the list at #23.

But who's counting...

I've now included a countdown timer at the bottom right of the page. This countdown is intended to serve three purposes:

1) It let's anyone get excited about how little time they have left to wait (if they get excited about things like that -- not naming any names, grandparents).

2) It will hopefully serve as a motivational tool for both of us to get everything we want to do finished.

3) It lets me vent my innate geekiness in a constructive way.

Hopefully it turns out to be a fun tool!

Welcome to 11 weeks

As we sit and count down the week left to go until we reach our first major milestone, the end of the first trimester (insert a chorus of angels here), we take the time to call attention to the Tigers' game last night, if you happened to miss it... particularly Justin Verlander's no-hitter. Only the 6th no-hitter in the Tigers' history, and it hasn't happened since 1984!

The Tigers are sure making the new DLP and high-def hookup worth the money, and their games are pretty much a staple in our weekly television lineup.

Go Tigers!

What's in a name?

This is going to seem silly, but then again, I've never had a problem with silly...

Amy and I already have names picked out (and have had for quite some time), but we thought we'd ask everyone else what they thought!

So, what do you think? What should baby Whipple be called? Just leave a comment! (Commenting should now be open to anyone... not just gmail registered users.)

Making things more interesting around here...

Alright everyone. The main reason for starting up this blog is now going public! Amy and I went for our first appointment today to check out the person who is going to be making some changes around here for the next 7 months or so (and beyond)! We're at 10 and a half weeks right now, so for all those who don't keep a pregnancy calendar handy, that means right around a January 4th due date.

Using all the latest technology from the start, we were able to get some pretty neat views. I tried to highlight all the interesting bits that are identifiable. We saw the heart working away and everything else looks to be in perfect shape and order. They were also able to take some measurements, and determined that the baby looks to be extremely intelligent and talented. Like we expected things to be any other way...

More news will come as it becomes available!

New content coming soon...
