As the parents out there know… time is a precious commodity right now. So, no pics and no full details just yet. But here’s the quick synopsis:

The mushier make-myself-cry post to come whenever I have a few pictures. I won’t be telling the entire play-by-play (some things should remain somewhat private) but certainly a longer version to come.
I’m so in love with and so proud of my wife. So in love with my new son Cole. 
It was all me getting hyped up too early. Still bazillions of Braxton Hicks contractions, but they don’t seem to be increasing in discomfort or frequency.
Bah!
I tried ordering the baby out, but it didn’t listen to me. We’ll see if Raspberry tea does anything… !
You likely already know that our due date was the 7th. We’re only a little bit “overdue” now, and due dates are hardly an exact science anyhow. It’s quite common for people to be overdue by 10+ days.
In any event… Mama Monkey’s having a lot of what are probably Braxton Hicks contractions… which isn’t uncommon, but she hasn’t had them this frequently in the past.
My prediction? Today or tomorrow there will be a new monkey in the house! Of course, that’s based on zero science or knowledge. I R just Dum. But that’s my prediction nonetheless. 
I recently entered an online contest, and was the lucky winner of 1000 business cards from AllBusinessCards.com. The contest was hosted by Jan Cavan over at Dawghouse Design Studio, a wonderful designer from the Phillipines. She graciously also offered to design the card for anybody who did not have a design they wanted to use.
I did not have a design! Since this blog went live, and since at some point in time I hope to do some freelancing (but am not entirely sure what that freelancing might involve, though it will certainly be writing, editing, or web design-related), I decided to go with a generic “Monkey House” card that both Mama Monkey and I can use for whatever purpose. In truth, I’ll probably never get through 1000 cards, but I didn’t have the presence of mind to tell Jeremy at AllBusinessCards.com to just send 500. Stupid me! Still, I’m grateful for the 1000 and will do my best to use them.
Here’s a quick shot of the cards, with my point-n-click:

Monkey House is populated by three lovely and wonderful simians–Greg, his wife Alex, and their son Cole. He is a jack of all trades, she is a scientist/athlete, and their son is a poopsmith.
