This is my second post today. That is 50% of last year’s output already and I am only 5 days into the year.
I’ve played around with the look of this page. The picture in the header is of me in Calabria, which is my parent’s region of Italy. Had they not moved to Canada I would be calling it Home. I remember sitting on that wall like it was yesterday and thinking that somehow, being there felt right.
I’m looking for a direction for this blog. A reason to keep typing. So I might play with the look some more.
I think I want to use this as a way to document what is going on with CG and I was we anticipate our first child. To me, this is the most significant thing going on right now. I just don’t want this to start sounding like an episode of Oprah where we all hear about the “Miracle” of being a parent. Not that it’s not, but, when you aren’t in the middle of it, then it is more just the way things are for someone else than a miracle.
Anyway, CG’s Baby belly I growing. According to the books she is reading, the Baby is the size of a Mango right now. So, for the past couple of days I have been referring to the baby as “Mango”. I always hate it when people refer to their unborn children as “IT” (Sounds like a Stephen King novel) so I have been giving the child different descriptors on a pretty much weekly basis. I’ve used Zygote, Peanut, THE Baby… just trying to avoid “IT”.
In other news… I am listening to Queen’s “under pressure” almost incessantly since seeing the stage show “We Will Rock You” a couple of weeks ago. If Mango is listening, I hope He/She comes out sounding more like Bowie than Mercury…
How’s that for a Rambling Project!

I had the same problem, just couldn't find the reasons to write. Gets worse when no one comments either. I ended up sticking to a theme that interests me and a few others and it seems to keep me more motivated. I like the idea of you and CG document what you go through for the next while. I remember when my wife was pregnant with our first, lots of funny little stories took place. btw, the mango story is what I'm talking about - hilarious. But remember to quote CG's comments accurately hahaha.
Thanks scott.
I think that I will continue to keep this as a journal of our experience with this.
See what comes of it...
