  • Toren photos and a comic

    First, a couple photos from the hospital.  Here is Toren sleeping with the cookies Debi’s family sent: They may not have filled him up, but they kept Debi happy. Here’s a shot of Toren’s first feeding and diapering sheet: We were supposed to track every time he ate, what he ate, whether he had a…

  • Toren fun update

    So, yesterday’s update was the scary one. Today’s is the fun one. Since we’ve recovered from the trauma a bit, we have had a number of first-time parenting experiences. So, hopefully this will offset yesterday’s post… We decided to have Toren circumcised. That six-word sentence substantially minimizes the debate we had over this decision. I’ll…

  • The Toren Saga

    Toren’s officially two days old! Here’s the rundown of what happened on the day he was born (starting the night before). NOTE: The rundown is a bit detailed and graphic, in case that’s a problem for you. We were working in front of the TV Monday night around 7:30 pm when Debi felt something wet.…

  • Game on!

    Contractions started at 2:30. Water broke at 5:40. Epidural in at 6:40. Now we’re just waiting… 🙂

  • Debi (and Toren) at Plant Park

    We spent about an hour shooting photos in Plant Park at the University of Tampa on Saturday.  Here are some of the better photos: On a different but related note, the main concern I have now is that Toren is not stillborn (per CDC definitions, stillborn refers to fetal deaths after 20 weeks). Luckily, his…

  • Toren Cragun, in utero

    I know I haven’t posted much about the baby recently, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t been documenting the pregnancy. As promised yesterday, Toren, in utero:

  • new baby pictures

    Debi had another ultrasound today.  Here are the latest photos of Toren. According to the ultrasound technician, this first photo shows hair on Toren’s head (the little whiffs by the arrow): This is a pretty good shot of his face – though he looks a little creepy in this photo: So, I so couldn’t tell…

  • Debi returns; someone packages my work and sells a book with my name on it

    Debi just returned to Florida from a weekend visit to Utah for a baby shower.  She very much enjoyed the trip and the shower and loved seeing everyone. Lucky her, she returned when I was about half way through redoing our spare bathroom.  We redid our master bathroom over our winter break.  The spare bathroom…

  • belly vs. legs

    Our conversation as Debi got out of the shower this morning: Debi: When I look down I can’t see my legs. Ryan: Your legs are gone?  Did someone steal your legs?  Did they go invisible? Debi: I know they’re there; I’m standing on them. I had to beg Debi to let me post this.  She…

  • baby names (part 2)

    First, thank you to everyone who submitted a possible name.  We ended up with a list of about 50 names.  After an exhaustive debate (I’m nursing a seriously bruised ego), we have narrowed the list down to 13 names we like.  We’re now hoping people will vote for their favorite name and let us know…
