PC Gaming Dilemma
I got into PC gaming shortly after my introduction to computers in my early teens back in the early 90’s. During that time, MS-DOS was the OS of choice and all games required some level of tinkering before they would function. Anyone from that era should have fond memories of EMM386 and counter-parts used to get a game to run.
Through all that mess, I still actively bought, installed, tinkered and played many PC games. At the same time, in the console market, the Nintendo Entertainment System reigned supreme. My father did buy an NES console for my brother and me and we dutifully played through Super Mario Brothers and were amazed that 8-bit graphics.
Our baby is here
The journey that started around July of last year finally came to an end for us on Sunday 03/04/2007. Our daughter, Riana, was born at 2:20 PM. At birth she was 20″ long and weighed a slight 5lb 15oz. Even though she came almost 3 weeks in advance of her due date, she is very healthy and after a couple days stay at the hospital we returned home with her.
Having her in the house has been an adjustment for all of us, but it’s one that we all welcome and are enjoying. As first-time parents we have experienced help around us to make sure that we can handle our baby.
Ultrasound Pictures
As we head towards the homestretch of my wife’s pregnancy, we decided to get some 3D ultrasound images taken of our baby. We’d had an opportunity to see some 3D images of her at about 20 weeks, but it is nothing compared to what she looks like now.
As part of the package we got a bunch of nice 3D pictures and a 40 min DVD of her quite active and interesting movements. This technology is quite amazing and gives us a very nice glimpse of her appearance while still in the womb.
Another, approximately, 8 to 10 weeks and we’ll know for certain who exactly she looks like.

The Day Has Arrived
Today is the day that we find out whether we are having a boy or girl. Geeta, needless to say, has been anxiously waiting for this day to arrive for quite a while. She naturally has the inability to be kept in dark about anything for long, and to have survived until now without knowing about this big a surprise is an amazing feat no doubt.
Amongst many decisions that are impending; baby naming comes to mind, people ask why we want to know the sex of the baby. I don’t think we see not knowing as necessarily any more fun than just knowing that we are having a boy or girl. I think it would be nice to refer to the baby as him or her rather than “it”.
Also, I imagine that knowing the sex will allow us to focus on things that only affect one sex, clothes, name and so on.
Oh the fun!
Turns out that our baby was being very uncooperative today. So though we could tell that it seemed completely healthy, there was little else we could tell.
It’s a Girl!
We had to visit a non-diagnostic ultrasound place, but we found out that we’re expecting a little girl.
