Well, it's a good thing my LiveJournal isn't a potted plant.

There've been some pretty major events since my last update:

1. We had a second ultrasound and discovered that we're having a boy. All his digits and such are accounted for, and developmentally he's on target for his age. (I put a few scans here.)
2. We flew out to Missouri for a few days to visit my family. We had lots of fun, especially with my little nephews. They also gave us a baby shower. Little by little the baby's room is starting to take shape. We still have a lot to do, though.
3. I got laid off. It was kind of a surprise, since it was unrelated to my job performance, but I think in the long run it'll end up being good for me. I had been with the same company for kind of a long time by software industry standards. Now I'm interviewing again for the first time in eight and a half years, oh joy. I had been using their laptop as my main computer, so I was offline for a while getting my old one upgraded (then for another while, because we painted the little home office room).

Now we're going to see a twilight showing of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The commercials on television have me salivating. I'm leaving all my fanboy expectations behind and giving it a clean slate. I expect I'll have some things to say about it later.
