Legacy and an announcement

It's funny to be only in your 30s and already thinking about your legacy, but I find myself doing that already. Actually, this sort of thinking really started in earnest earlier this week after a doctor's appointment when we found out that . . .

Mrs. H will be having a baby girl in December!

Kid H is looking forward to it, as are we. Mrs. H is doing great, and looks fantastic. She's doing so much better than the last time around. There are going to be a lot of changes connected to having another baby in terms of how life works for us, but we are trusting the Lord to help us through these changes, as he has with all the other seemingly large ones previously.

I also need to apologize to those of you who follow this blog closely. I've been rather preoccupied with some other projects recently, so haven't posted as regularly as I should have. For those who are interested, my excuses are as follow:

• July is the Tour de France. If it's on, I'm watching it, period. Every night.
• Mrs. H is pregnant, and I'm filling the Hausmeister role more than ever.
• Work's been challenging, but I can now install WSS or MOSS 2007 with Kerberos and PerformancePoint Server, on both Windows Server 2005 and 2008 platforms as well as setting up the SPNs, service accounts, and databases. If you could follow all that, I feel bad for you.
• I'm getting peed on a lot. Kid H comes out to get a snuggle at night, I go in and fall asleep. The next thing I know, I'm laying in a quarter inch puddle of fresh, hot . . . well you know.
• Speaking of sleeping arrangements, we have a two bedroom apartment, and I don't sleep in either. I'll be on the sofa till December, I think.
• I'm trying to read all the books on the Fog Creek management internship booklist. So far, I'm halfway through the first one. I know. Congratulate me now.

So, to make up for my lapses, I'll try to post a few posts that cover what we've been up to since the last post to keep you up-to-date. Until then . . .
