Sleep Training + Noise Cancelling Headphones

Posted On December 28, 2016 By Rob Gjertsencomment

We have started Sleep Training.  Would it be considered ‘cheating’ if I were to wear noise cancelling headphones at homes while Freya cries? The change in sleep schedule, as well as sleep training itself, continues.  And it sucks. There is a lot of information available for couples that are expecting, as well as new parents, […]

Teething is Fun.

Posted On December 26, 2016 By Rob Gjertsencomment

Teething.  Oh, teething.  Any parent who has experienced teething knows the joys of this time.  Those rosy little cheeks are not cute, they are warning signs.  They mean “If I had teeth yet, I would bite your fingers off – that’s how upset I am”.  I am now convinced that this is the translation of […]

Letters to Freya: God Jul Min Datter

Posted On December 25, 2016 By Rob Gjertsencomment

Dear Freya, Today is December 24, 2016 – Christmas Eve – and we will be celebrating your first Christmas this year.  I cannot express adequately in words just how happy we are to have you here with us to do so, but to say that we are thrilled would be an over simplification of said […]

Don’t Let Her Fool You

Posted On December 19, 2016 By Rob Gjertsencomment

The other evening when I was walking upstairs around 7:55pm, getting ready to put Freya down for the night, I heard a strange sound.  More on that in a minute. So, we go upstairs and get her bath ready, which she enjoyed a lot.  She is learning how to splash a bit now, which is […]

Yesterday was the first day of our committed adventure to get Freya to take a bottle.  It did not go well… I have brought out the Christmas Tree today, so we will have that all setup by the end of the week.  It will be fun to see Freya see the tree lit up for […]

Broken Website (a HostGator.com Migration Service Review)

Posted On December 5, 2016 By Rob Gjertsencomment

I had a need to move our website to a new server recently, as I was wanting something a bit more cost effective for storing a large amount of data for a low cost.  I decided to move to a Managed WordPress service provided by HostGator.com, and making use of their migration service. I regret […]

Letters to Freya: The World You Were Born Into

Posted On November 8, 2016December 6, 2016 By Rob Gjertsencomment

Dear Freya, Today is November 7, 2016 – a Monday.  I am currently sitting in seat 4D of a Boeing 757, on Delta flight DL952.  I am traveling from Seattle to Atlanta, on my way to Orlando, FL.  This is the week that I (normally) attend the IT Nation technology conference. This is a week […]

A Pound Gained – Almost

Posted On September 24, 2016 By Rob Gjertsencomment

Freya has gained almost a pound over her birth-weight now, weighing in a 7 lbs 2 oz.  I had sat down at my desk here at home last night to do some course work for school, and as I tried to concentrate on reading my textbook, I found myself in awe of how much Freya […]
