Wed, 23 Jul 2008 14:08:18 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Dominic is now over a week old.  It's just so hard to believe.  He's a pretty good little sleeper and is just a joy to hold and care for.  Life has been busy with us trying to adjust to his/our routine, which we still don't have but are working on. ... http://alberico.net/wp/2008/07/21/hard-to-believe-its-been-a-week I'm laying here next to Lori and our new baby and all I can say is we are blessed.  He is such a wonderul child. Here are a just few photos I've captured: I've also captured some video and there's one funny and (potentially) embarrassing clip that lori took of me with ... http://alberico.net/wp/2008/07/13/16-hours-later Well it was a long one, labor that is. Finally ending in a C-Section. We finally found out why: Dominic Angelo Alberico Born: 7/13/08 at 05:56. 9 lbs, 20.5 inches. For now here is a crappy cell phone pic, until I can recoup a little. http://alberico.net/wp/2008/07/13/welcome-dominic Well actually Lori is doing most of the laboring right now, I'm here for support.  It all started at 2am with contractions that woke Lori up.  We made it to the hospital about 7:30ish and in Labor and Deliver triage for about 30 - 45 minutes until they determined we'd ... http://alberico.net/wp/2008/07/12/were-in-labor Well, it's offical. Dominic did not make it on his due date so consider him 'late.' I didn't think that I would be as bothered by this as I am. What's a few more days, right? Yeah well, wrong.  This past week has been pretty uncomfortable - braxton hicks (aka false ... http://alberico.net/wp/2008/07/06/i-guess-he-didnt-get-the-memo We're still waiting for our little guy to arrive. We had a nice 4th of July yesterday.  Early part of the day was spent watching a few movies and enjoying the AC.  Later in the evening we headed over to the Drobeck's house to celebrate the USA's birthday with food, bocce ... http://alberico.net/wp/2008/07/05/still-waiting-4th-wrapup I just looked outside the door and saw that some local Lakewood Real Estate agent stuck a flag in our lawn.  We also just finished watching the Nathan's Hot Dog eating competition, so it's now officially the 4th of July! Happy Birthday USA.  Have a good day everyone and be safe.  ... http://alberico.net/wp/2008/07/04/happy-4th-of-july Last night after dinner and yummy s'mores, Lori, Donovan and I decided to play some Rock Band. Lori played the drums... she's currently 39.5/40 weeks pregnant! For the grand finale song we played "Run to the Hills" which is a pretty hard song. So she played on ... http://alberico.net/wp/2008/07/03/preggers-rock-band Here's a long story, not about Dominic!  I felt it was good to write about since I don't see many blogs/consumer stories about good experiences regarding extended warranties. Almost 3 and a half years ago and just before Lori and I were married we bought a new larger (42")  HDTV to ... http://alberico.net/wp/2008/06/30/sometimes-extended-warranties-pay-off So this is how I feel today... I'm sure some of you are sick to death of hearing about this impending birth. Ah well, you'll have to deal. It's pretty amazing - all of the thoughts and emotions that you experience as you sit and wait for a baby to show ... http://alberico.net/wp/2008/06/29/did-my-water-just-break-no-i-just-peed-myself-again
