Firstly, huge doctors appointment coming up tomorrow. With any luck, all will be well and we can come "out" with the news.

As we sort though all this baby stuff, I've already given a lot of thought about how I might be able to participate in the bachelor and wedding events. I apologize in advance that I won't be able to get to them all. The biggest factor is timing. I know this much, I won't be taking any transatlantic flights in June (in case the baby comes early), July, or August.

If it comes between making it to a bachelor party or a wedding, Evan already expressed that he would prefer the latter. This would make my child about 2.5 months old. There are 3 options, the first two have questions for the already daddy's out there.

Option 1: I come alone.

Q: How much would it suck for Kate, and consequently myself, to handle a baby on her own for a few days, to possibly up to a week? Recommended? I think Jono was able to get away for Joe's BP when Will was about the same age. However, I think Amy had some outside help from her parents, which could make all the difference.

Option 2: Kate and baby come with. This allows us to dump the kid off with my parents.

Q: How much would it suck to fly 9 hours with a baby? I'm going to guess a lot. I might not even want to explore this option. It'll be bad enough when we come to the US over the winter holidays at 6 months.

Option 3: No Heaves. Insert frowny face.

We have a bunch to figure out yet, including Kate's maternity leave, so we'll see how things play out.

Alternatively, if there's a bachelor party pre-June, that could be a better alternative and an easier sell.

By the way, Vic, I vote for a bachelor party in Ireland. If in the States, I vote New Orleans. I love seeing black dong!

Some good TV is coming back this week: Smash, Community and The Walking Dead are all on the DVR to-do list.

I am signing up for a smart DNS some time this week so I can unblock sites (Hulu, Pandora) that have outside US restrictions.

This weekend was event-full (full of events). Even though Kate and I stayed in on Friday night, Saturday and Sunday more than made up for it.

On Saturday, beers were tapped at 2:30 for some 6-nation rugby watching. My Welsh brethren played terribly and got handed an L by the Irish. We then had dinner/drinks at a neighbors from 8:00-1:00. They made some of the best sushi I've ever had. I also had to accept 4 shots a sake out of politeness. Bleh.

On Sunday, we had dinner at a friend's apartment. I left at 10:30 to head up to a Marriott for some Super Bowl watching. That power outage was a killer. It made a late night much later than it needed to be. I crawled into bed at 5:30am, but not before sending an email to work to inform them that I was taking a vacation day on Monday. And so that's what I did. I slept until 11:00 and did some Call of Dutying. It was a great day.
