The waiting I’m referring to, is of Dominic’s arrival.  I am so very excited and I know we are as ready as we’re ever going to be for his arrival.  His room is done (though he’ll not sleep in there for the first month or so) and all his toys and stuff are put together.  For the hospital, batteries are charged for all the electronic devices I will take along to document and share the experience (don’t worry not GROSS photos or videos will be taken) and bags are packed and ready to roll.  Everything feels DONE!  I know Lori is!

Regarding labor updates I know it’s a challenge when you are going through the labor process to keep people who are waiting anxiously for updates, updated.  I plan on sending some text messages to keep a few people updated during the labor process.  However, sending text messages are kind of a pain especially when your list gets long and you have little time to do so because your wife is screaming with JOY!

So I’ve decided to try out live blogging now that I have a purpose.  In doing so, I finally figured out a practical purpose for twitter.

So if you are interested to follow along with the labor process (it’ll be filled with cool stats such as centimeters dilated, effacement percentage and contraction length) you can visit our Twitter Page Here and refresh every so often OR you can also subscribe to our Twitter RSS feed in your google reader (though be advised reader doesn’t update the feed as often as I would be able to keep it updated) OR I have a Twitter widget in the left hand sidebar.

Oh and Dominic, please hurry up because we have found your Halloween costume!

I’m posting this because it’s time to update the old blog software.

Since I’ve been properly blogging over the last few years I have been trying to get Lori to also blog. Her response is always the same, “I don’t have anything to say” or “You usually post what I’d want to post” and finally “I have my myspace if I want to.”

So with Dominic coming soon, I think Lori’s finally ready to blog. So I decided to change the theme a bit (I’m still tinkering) and will encourage her to user her account and begin posting.

So today we bid a hearty “Off with ya, scurvy scum” to the “Captains Quarters” and give a big welcome to “The Albericos” (took me a few seconds to decide on the grammar/apostrophe usage in “Albericos”, feel free to comment/correct). Not much will change, there will still be photos, videos and the occasional nerd/tech stuff that interests me, though I will probably keep most of that (unrelated) stuff in my shared feed to the side.

I will encourage/help Lori post her first few posts, maybe she can begin talking about the final two showers!
