Prepare ship for ludicrous speed!

2 things are happening today that will make us go to plaid (make sure you watch the whole video if you’re a Spaceballs noob). First thing is that today was Teaspoon’s intended due date. Yup, little man was due on 4/20. Nice eh? With that his growing and eating has jumped to ludicrous speed. He’s gained significant weight since last week which goes along with what he would be doing if still in Lushie’s belly. His followup appointment is next week and I’m guessing he’ll be 7-8lbs. Not bad since his lowest weight after birth was 3.2lbs.

Next item of business is that I start working today for the first time since Ericsson started shutting down. To say that I’m excited is putting it mildly. I was fortunate to have been laid off when I was so that I could help take care of teaspoon but now it’s time to get back. I’ll be doing contract work for now so I can still manage my time with raising Teaspoon, going to school and working on side projects.  In other words I’ll be really freakin busy. Studio B will now be a recording plus work area. I’m not into the whole coffee shop scene/culture and really don’t care for Panera either so finding a corner in my home was the only option for now.

smoke’m if you got’em!

      Although I’m disappointed Teaspoon couldn’t wait for his due date (it is a pretty awesome birthday after all!) I am so glad that he’s doing well and growing fast!

      Spasceballs should be a film studied in universities for its greatness.

      Teaspoon looks a lot bigger now than in that pic which was only taken 2 weeks ago.

      Sunshine, I’ll make sure to save some diapers for you to change :)

      Congrats on the work!! I hope it stays steady for a long time to come. I’m sure Teaspoon’s weight is going to pick up. I have every confidence he’ll be linebacker size in a few months :) (should I have said Pitcher or Goalie instead?)

      Daddy was a goalie in hockey and OF/2B/C in baseball. I tried pitching once and it was ugly

      Wow the little guy really was little. I’ve missed you around the scene, but from his current weight you are doing a great job and right where you need to be pops! When you first mentioned the demise of your company or at least your workforce I told you , you would prevail and for most folks with the rugged individualism that we tend to exhibit round these parts, we can’t be held down for long. Godspeed on surpassing your previous apex.

      Hutch, you da man. Have you ever thought of carer counseling? :)

      Needless to say my days of going out all the time are on hold for awhile but it does make me appreciate craft beer more when I can sit back and enjoy one. Plus I’m starting to get a collection in my basement of beer to have soon. Most wont last a tradition cellar time so I may have to start having one with dinner ;)

      cheers!
