Actually, pretty much no day goes by without fanfare of some sort - such is the life of the first child and first grandchild (on my side), I guess! He went to the doctor yesterday for his monthly checkup and ... http://www.themaxsons.org/2007/03/caleb-is-two-months-old/ Caleb turned a month old the other day, and he has been doing quite well. A week ago, he was getting over a small cold that caused some congestion, but he's back to normal now. He's up to 9.1 pounds, 22.5 inches, so is averaging about a half-pound gain a ... http://www.themaxsons.org/2007/02/caleb-is-one-month-old/ After much anticipation, I'm very happy to announce that Caleb Owen Maxson was born on Saturday, January 20, at 4:58 pm. He weighed in at 6 lbs, 15 oz, and was 21 inches long. After a 2-day hospital stay, we came home on Monday. Mom and baby are recovering well ... http://www.themaxsons.org/2007/01/caleb-is-born/ We were at the doctor today for Tricia's weekly checkup. She'll be at 41 weeks tomorrow, so a week past her due date. Everything looked good, but he and Tricia are both ready to get this show on the road, so we're going to start the induction process tomorrow (Friday) ... http://www.themaxsons.org/2007/01/the-baby-plan/ You probably know that Tricia and I are expecting our first child soon. Well, "soon" is fast-becoming "now," as Tricia's due date is January 12. Everything has gone well to date, and we are looking forward to the as-yet-unnamed boy's arrival. We decided to renew our apartment lease for 10 ... http://www.themaxsons.org/2007/01/entering-the-home-stretch/ So this blog posting thing hasn't happened as frequently as I'd imagined it might! If it makes you feel any better, I do think about posting much more often than I actually have written. I must be busier than I thought I was. Anyway, I was back at the cardiologist last ... http://www.themaxsons.org/2006/12/into-a-regular-recovery-schedule/ Well, I've been back in the office for the last two weeks, and it seems to have gone well. I started driving again this week, which was an enjoyable milestone. You don't realize how nice the "small" freedoms are until they're taken away, I guess! Anyway, I saw the cardiologist earlier ... http://www.themaxsons.org/2006/11/two-weeks-of-work/ Well, I managed to work from home last week, and I'm planning to this week as well. My appetite and energy seem to be slowly increasing. Some random foods still taste strange or sound bad to begin with - mostly milk and sugary foods, it seems. Since I was a ... http://www.themaxsons.org/2006/10/the-work-from-home-week/ There wasn't too much to write about this week. I spent most of it sitting around and sleeping, I think! We went to the cardiologist on Wednesday for a follow-up visit, and he said that aside from some lingering lung issues, everything looked to be progressing well. I go back ... http://www.themaxsons.org/2006/10/an-uneventful-week/ Wow. What a week. I don't think I can ever complain about going to work on Monday again! Thanks to all of you for your thoughts, prayers, and comments here over the past week. It's beyond nice to be home again, and perhaps even nicer to have the surgeon tell me ... http://www.themaxsons.org/2006/10/thanks-to-all/
