We’re all together at home.
Race is a quiet baby. He only cries when he needs to burp, fart, poo-poo, or when hungry. Most of the time he just smiles. Marissa tells people they don’t really need to see photos of the baby because he looks just like me. And he does.

I have been advised that there is a Filipino superstition that says if a baby has the cord wrapped around his neck he will be a naughty boy.
Since Race had his cord wrapped around his neck twice, I figure that means “double trouble”.
While I am no expert on babies this one looks to me like […]
Happy Birthday, Mom!
On your 74th birthday, I give you a grandson.
Horace O’Donal Turner, III, was brought into this World at 11:50 PM, January 7, 2008, (that’s at 7:50 AM PST, Mom) in a complicated delivery, via a necessary cesarean section procedure, but both baby and mother are healthy and well.

Marissa wants me to buy some fancy crib for the baby. Traditionally, babies sleep in the same bed as the parents, between the parents, in The Philippines. That is out because I weight about 208 pounds and I drink some and take sleeping pills sometimes. I also have a tendency to sleep […]

On September 18, 2007, I accompanied Marissa to the OB-GYN and we had a 2nd ultrasound of the baby.
Note the erect penis of the 5 month gestational boy. They say he is at 23 weeks on the 40-week pregnancy calender, but that is calculated from the last menstruation, not from time of conception, so […]
Well, it’s a fetus actually, but it sure appears to be a male fetus. Nineteen weeks and five days (using the 40-week OB-GYN method. I would place the the actual gestational age (since conception) at seventeen weeks and three to six days. Trust me on this one. I was there and […]
I am 46 years old and I’ve been married twice before Marissa. For some reason I never wanted a baby before, now there’s a bun in the oven. Due date is January 8, 2008.
I think most of my in-laws thought I was sterile since I started dating Marissa more than two years ago […]
