Time flies when you don't have any...
So apologies for the lack of posting action. It's been pretty busy around these parts, which you know; that's pretty much how life goes. The last few weeks have had their share of ups and downs, with most of the downs being work-related. Actually, all of the downs in my life are work related. On one hand that totally blows, but on the other I guess that means that my life is pretty good save for the office.
The big news around these parts is of course the expecting of mine and Amanda's first child. This past Tuesday we had our first ultrasound in two months, and it was the most exciting thus far as we'd more than likely be able to determine the gender.
The unscientific, gut-feel consensus was that we were going to have a girl. I didn't really have a feel. I guess you could say that I wanted a boy, but didn't lean too far to either side as long as the child comes out firmly in the 'healthy' column.
Well, the verdict is in. And....IT'S A BOY! Luke Isaac Cathey is extremely healthy and according to our doctor extremely large. At this point he's in the 90th percentile for size, and grades out at over 20 weeks even though he's a few days shy. Large babies run in the family. I was 9 lbs. 11 oz., our nephew was over 10 lbs. as was Amanda's brother. Hell, my sister was 9 lbs. 2 oz.! Needless to say, Luke is on track to be quite the large kid. Poor, poor Amanda and her tiny little self. It looks like it's going to be a rough ride for her.
In other news...
The books. Ah yes, those wonderfully frustrating books. Well, they've been pretty much untouched for the last week. To be honest I just don't really have the energy to sacrifice the sleep recently. I think if I ever got the time to just sit down and work uninterrupted I'd get through the thing in a weekend or two. But as life is presently constructed, I just don't see that happening any time soon. I'm trying to make it more friendly because apparently (according to Amanda) I was pretty harsh in the last rewrite. I think I'm still looking for an identity to the story. Hopefully it will come out this time around. I'm sorry to keep disappointing on this thing. The emails I got after the last go round expressing disappointment at the delay made me feel good and bad at the same time. One day it'll be done...one day.
It's 9:20 p.m., but I think I'm going to call it a day. It's always best to get that one good night's worth of sleep before a Monday. Monday's always blow.
Until next time...
