You’re almost Here! Your mom is totally miserable. You keep getting bigger and your mom’s stomach is as well. Here’s the thing I know in theory her stomach is supposed to get bigger, but jeeze living through doesn’t appear to be that particularly fun. Also, you’re like kicking all the damn time and not letting her sleep. I suppose we’re all happy you are such a big ol kicker, but damn maybe let her get a nap. I tried asking you to cool it at night, but you just seem to ignore me. Something I’m sure you’ll do as you get older.
Fun fact you still don’t have a real name. We do joke about making it official and calling your Rasputin. Though with Russia recent invasion of the Ukraine… maybe best not to affiliate you with the Kremlin. Also, I guess your last name is soooo English.
I know I should write more often, but its very stressful at work right now. Things are going well but I can’t quite hit that promotion mark. I’m able to get good review but I just can’t bring my self to get ahead from a technical perspective. Aka I’m great at team culture, less great at learning esoteric things about the tech stack.
We had a kick ass maternity shoot last week with our old wedding photographer Vera. I really hope we stick with her, and you get annual family photographs. Your mom is positively glowing in these pictures. Also, I’m super handsome too so you’re welcome. Basically, both your parents are total hotties so use the power of your genes for good. Aka make out with lots of other hot people.
We’ve also finally finished your nursery. Your mom and Grandpa Graig painted an awesome ceiling mural of the night sky. I did logistics like painting the yellow… err “Golden Straw” walls. Giving you a dimmer switch, assembling all the furniture, etc. Its not as pretty but I’m pretty sure you’ll be in to it. Also, I’ve been really trying to figure out what toys to get you. Currently you have zero. There’s this weird crinkle book with textures. Apparently, babies can’t see very well and love texture things, so I guess we’ll do that? I am stoked to give you Legos but that is going to be quite a long wait.
