A couple weeks ago my girl came home from a weekend out of town and presented me with a positive home pregnancy test. Few days ago she got some blood work done and it came back positive. So yeah, if everything gets put together as it should, then in about 7 months I'll be a dad. Still very weird to say that. I guess it could be premature to tell people these things - but whatever. Neither of our parents know yet. We meet with a doc for the first time on Friday. Then on Saturday we fly back to see my parents for the weekend - which just happens to be father's day. Seems like a good day to tell them. Coincidentally, we believe we conceived on Mother's day :P Ok so that's the big stuff. Since I'm here I might as well toss a little update out since it's been a long time since I've written anything. I still drop by here once in a while and check blogs - just rarely post anything obviously. Still out of work but really I'm not trying to look. I'm really at a point where I don't want to continue down that career path that I'm trained for so I'm spending a lot of time thinking about what next steps I want to take and how we're going to be able to support a baby. But I also feel that I can get design work again fairly easily if I need to so I'm not really concerned about it. More anxious about what we're going to do if I don't go back to design - because I really, really don't want to. At least not for a money grubbing agency. Except for Netflix the Xbox collects dust. Picked up Brink on day one and that has a little disappointing. Lots of fun with friends though. But the meager single player and Unreal Tournament style of play keeps me from going back. Hopefully, the updates have fixed the online problems - because it really is a blast when you have people to play with. Finally let my WoW account lapse again and in its stead I've been playing EVE Online and even reinstalled SimCity. But damn is EVE a slow game to play. Still not even sure if I like that one. I find it really intriguing but just not very fun I think. Let the crap ensue
