09/03/09: Welcome Nathaniel Diehn!
Nathaniel (Nate) Erik Diehn entered the world 4 weeks early on August 16, 2009! I’m happy to report that Nate is doing well, which apparently doctors track by how many poopy diapers he makes (answer, a lot). We had to accelerate the plan to turn Erik’s office into a nursery and for the first week Nate shared space with a lot of computer equipment and fishing gear. He still shares space with some semi-inappropriate movie posters looming over his crib. My mom was quick to point out that the 007 Goldfinger poster with a scantily clad woman and a learing Sean Connery was not typical nursery decor. He monitors the crib along with a shadowy Godfather and a smoky illustration of Faye Dunaway in Chinatown. At least he’s got good taste…
Updating this blog has made me realize I am a terrible blogger. I think the point of blogs is that they are updated frequently. I can now say with confidence that this will not be the case as I find I have barely a minute to spare each day. Just grooming myself takes immense planning.
Feel free to check in and see how things are going, and I will do my best to at least post more recent pictures of Nate. Some day I will post pictures of his awesome nursery mural—if I ever get to it…
