Merry Christmas all.

It’s my first Christmas as a dad.

That is a picture of Stacy, now 8 months old!

The reason I haven’t made a post in the past couple of weeks…….

This is Stacy Ann. As mentioned on Twitter last week, she was born on the 14th (of April) at 8lbs and 14oz and she was 20.5 inches long.

I could have easily shown a ton more pictures, but I didn’t want to go baby crazy.

I am unfortunately going back to work tomorrow after taking the last week off, and I will once again be posting on here hopefully on a regular basis.

Until then….

Seeing Pink

Sorry I haven’t updated the blog in the last couple of days. I have been painting the what used to be an office into a nursery. The color that we went with is called “oh so pink.” Yesterday I put on the primer and today I have painted the first coat, expecting to paint the final coat either tonight or tomorrow.

We had to stay at the in-laws last night since the house smelt so bad from the fumes the primer was setting off. To make things worse, the primer was oil-based. My wife and I looked it up on the internet to see that if pregnant, try and stay away from oil-based paints and only use water based products….oops! Well, the paint we have, unlike the primer, is water based and the house doesn’t really smell all too bad now.

We decided to go with the color that we did due to the the decor that we are going with (pictured above). It is called Soho Pink & Brown. After getting married I was starting to feel more and more like “Frank the tank” in Old School. Now with the baby on the way, I am starting to feel it even more. A typical weekend that used to be reserved for going out with friends and having unforgettable, err forgettable, nights have turned into nights where we prepare to make room for a new family member. I just don’t know if we will have time to go to Home Depot or not. (If you have seen the movie, you know what I am talking about.)

….on the poker end of things. I fired up a few SNG’s Friday night and I almost forgot how to play them, it has been so long. Nonetheless, I won 2 out of 3 $27 turbos and made a few more bucks playing 5 card draw. My bankroll is now back over $1500 as it is now up to $1,643.75. Slowly but surely, my poker bankroll is back on the right track.

Next post I will attempt to make it about nothing but poker. Sorry if I am boring those that come to view this blog just looking for poker stories.

Little Lady on the Way!

In case you haven’t noticed, I haven’t updated my blog in a while. There is pretty good reason too. I haven’t mentioned it on this blog yet, but the wife is pregnant and she is about half way through her pregnancy now.

Yesterday, my wife and I went to the doctor to find out the sex among other things. Looks like it will be a girl. To be honest, I was hoping for a boy and my wife was hoping for a girl. Now that I know, I am not disappointed at all. I am just that much more excited!

This will be our first child, and I am sure my life is getting ready to change. I am really going into the unknown. However, my wife has tons of experience with children and I feel confident that she will help make me feel as though I am swimming with the current. But then again, I just don’t know what to expect.

The last couple of weeks I have been kind of in a stand still. I feel like I have been in a mental fog, just not really getting much done on all fronts. I don’t know if it is the upcoming child that is doing this to me, but I feel like I need to change a lot of things in my life and I need to start doing things with more of a purpose.

Since this is a poker blog, I will mention that I feel one thing that I am slacking off with is my poker playing. To be honest and maybe a little unknowingly conceded, I just feel that I am too good of a poker player to be in a stand still. I just don’t play enough and when I do I don’t take it as seriously as I should. I am hurting myself on that front. But I am also doing the same in other aspects of my life. But I feel a big kick in the behind starting to get me going.

So over the next couple of months (by the way the due date is in April) I will be working to become more productive. One thing I can tell you that will directly affect this blog is that I will attempt to update it 4-5 times a week, even if all I have to say is a sentence or two.

Until next update, again, it’s a girl? It’s a girl!

PS: I finally won a private PXF tourney, as I took down a HORSE tourney against some other PXFers!
