The Connnecticut Renaissance Faire
I had a geektastic time this weekend at the Connecticut Renaissance Faire with my two older daughters and friend Stacy. We all got dressed up, althought mine and Stacy’s outfit need some work but the kids looked great and we had a great time. And as for Angel and the baby, well they have one year to get their outfits ready 
The Big E
I took the girls to The Big E this weekend with my Parents. Even though it was crummy weather we had a great time.
Welcome Home Mom and Baby
This week has been kind of hectic, Mom and Baby have come home and mom can’t do a lot because of the surgery but we are getting by… tired but getting by. The major issue is that sleeping is difficult. Not saying that Mia is a bad sleeper, she’s not. But she is a baby and babies need to eat every few hours. That being said she is a good eater and a good sleeper and doing great. My other daughters just can’t get enough of her and they so far have been great with her.
Also I would like to say thank you to everyone that has visited the blog, commented on facebook, watched the streaming video, sent us emails and has seen us in person. We appreciate your kind words and taking the time to make our special event even more special.
I’m going to try to post the video from the hospital on the site as well as upload some new pictures to flickr as well. Once again thank you all for spending this time with us.

Baby Day!!!
Well we are here at the hospital in the recovery room waiting to go into surgery. We have a great staff helping out. I’m writing this from my iPhone so I can’t spell check my work, oh no!!! Last night I bought a webcam to live stream the baby this evening, I’ll post the link later today. I’ll have picture on the Flickr acount and a video up on the sit asap. Stay tuned
Day 18 of 28 – 252.6 lbs – Hmm, One Step Back?
So for no apparent yesterday I weighed in at 252.0 lbs and I had a perfect eating day and I “gained” .6 lbs? Most likely it’s just water weight but I guess that’s why they say not to weigh yourself everyday… but I just can’t keep myself stepping on the scale in the morning. With all that being said, tomorrow is our big day… the baby is coming!!! With that comes “some” challenges and changes. One of the challenges is at the hospital my wife is having a cesarean) my schedule is going to be a bit hectic, so I won’t be drinking much shakes. I will most likely try to have something filling and healthy in the hospital cafe. And a change is that I will be having dinner with the kids as opposed to just having a shake for dinner. I want to have that time with the kids seeing as our life is going to be turned upside down for a while. We will see what happens as when the baby gets here.

Day 13 of 28 – 253.6 lbs – Solid Meal Day
Almost another full week down and I have been able to stick to the diet. Although I had a close call on Wednesday with my protein arriving just as I ran out. The diet mainly consists of 10 servings of protein shakes a day with only one solid meal a week for 28 days. And today is one of those special days… solid meal day. On the menu today was charcoal grilled chicken breast over baby leaf salad with homemade avocado dressing and a baked sweet potato. I had this meal for lunch so that it would not be my last meal of the day and sitting in my stomach all night long. It was awesome. My younger (not for long) daughter help prepare it with me. We had a good time, cooking with your kids is great. Tomorrow is a Labor Day picnic and with social gathering comes temptations. I’m hoping that I can at least hold off until the baby is born on next Friday. Well we’ll see

Day 10 of 28 – 256.4 lbs – Running out of Protein
Saturday I realized that I did not have enough protein powder to last me for the week, so on Sunday night I ordered 6 tubs which will last me about 12 days. As of the is morning I now fully out of protein at home and at work before “eating” lunch, I only have 3 shakes left and 5 more to drink at work. I have yet to receive and order conformation from Biotest (which normally only takes 3 days to deliver). Which leaves me with a dilemma, I don’t want to buy more protein since I have 6 tubs on the way so unless it gets dropped off sometime today I will have to have some solid food, which I could stand to do for sanity sake. If I end up having solid food it will be some salmon and broccoli around the same calories that I would get from the shakes.
’til later
