Baby Counter: Born 2nd August, 2008 at 10pm - 8 days overdue.
Friday 5th September 2008iPhone Apps and Baby Photos
As some of you are no doubt aware, I have started a company to do some of my own software development, and hopefully make money from. The company is called Plus 14 Ltd, and my first iPhone app, Tripzee, has been completed. It will hopefully be available in the iTunes App Store early next week.
On the baby front, she is now over 5kg, and 60cm long. At only 5 weeks old, she is already larger than some of the 12 week olds in the coffee group. Photos are being updated reasonably frequently on Flickr, so keep an eye out for them there.
Cheers for now.
Sunday 3rd August 2008BABY!
Our gorgeous (and slightly wrinkled) daughter was born at 10pm on the 2nd of August. The labour was thankfully short.

Thursday 24th July 2008Due Date
...and still no baby. 
However, first babies are usually late, and less than 5% are born on their "due" date, so it's hardly surprising.
The waiting continues.
Tuesday 15th July 2008Final Countdown
The baby is due next week. It's funny, but it still doesn't seem real. Andrea has also commented that occasionally she forgets that she is pregnant. I find this odd, but there you go.
Room is done. Cot and change table are assembled, wardrobe is now full of baby stuff, old cabinet from Andrea's Dad is tidied up, repainted and filled. Lots of baby related gadgetry scattered around.
Now it's just waiting.
Monday 2nd June 2008DIY Madness
Tip of the day: Power tools, large screws and plumbing do not play well together.
Having wall-mounted the dryer, I decided to add some shelves to the laundry to store all the bits and pieces we need. It went well, as I found a couple of studs in helpful places.
After I had finished, I was tidying up when the washing machine and dryer, both in use, finished their loads and stopped making noise. It was then that I heard the hiss and drip and realised what had happened.
Turns out I managed to put one of the screws holding up the shelves straight through the middle of the water pipe supplying the laundry. One centimetre either way and I would have been fine. A shorter screw, and I would have been fine.
Shelves become quite expensive when you have to call a plumber (on a public holiday no less) in order to finish them. Anyway, it's all better now... except for the hole in the wall.
