PadThai got a new name when he entered the world outside the womb. . .we introduce Keenan Charles Ulrich, born at 4:58 a.m. on January 21st, 2008. He surprised us all when he chose to make his big debut three weeks earlier than his due date, tipping the scales at 6 pounds, 12 ounces and measuring 19 inches long.

He's our lil' bundle of perfection, and we'll share him with our friends and family through this web site.

Shopping with PadThai's Father

I am proud of myself. I have managed to get Ben into the following stores in the past couple of weeks:

Pottery Barn Kids
Babies R'Us
Janie & Jack
Lil' Me
The Children's Place
Motherhood Maternity
Maidenform

I did not drag him kicking and screaming. . .he willingly, and somewhat happily, strode proudly into all of these stores. In fact, he ran around the Motherhood store like my own personal shopper and brought me millions of cute outfits to try on. I think he wants me to look like a cute and "hot" momma for his upcoming graduation dinner. But he also pointed excitedly at tiny blue jammies and mini cargo pants in the baby stores. . .he seems to fear the girly sides of the store and anything pink, for he has 100% convinced himself that our lil' PadThai is a boy. I think all men do this, so mine is just obeying the trend.

Ben also discussed the pros and cons of which bras I should buy. Fellas, you should all aspire to be so caring and concerned for your wife's bosom.

Of all the baby-related items we will acquire in the next few months, not surprisingly, Ben seems most interested in the stroller. The stroller has wheels, lots of gadgets and optional features, many shapes and colors to choose from, among a whole slew of other similiarities with cars. He will approach the purchase of the stoller as if he is buying a car. Fine with me.

Props to Ben! Brett also has an odd fascination with getting the right stroller. I am all for this Daddy To Be enthusiasm :)

Shopping is such fun! I love all the little baby things! I started a blog for Fionna like this when she was just a nut and I still keep it up for the girls. It's such a great idea with family all over. http://community.livejournal.com/mutant_babies/

Hey, are you coming to our party on Sunday? Call me :)
