ex machina

the eric update - day 113: another walk around the block! and a belated milestone observation.

oh c'mon, it hasn't been that long since we got home from the nicu; so don't give me any gruff for posting a photo of our second walk around the block.

it still feels wierd - in a way that's almost impossible to describe - to walk around outside with odin.

it's almost like it's not real ( as strange as that might sound ).

i really dropped the ball and forgot to mention that yesterday was odin's 16 week birthday and his 4th full moon birthday. i guess it says something that weekly and lunar milestones are ever so very slightly less remarkable.

i just double checked and it looks like every 28 days is not quite a full moon, but i'm going to celebrate them anyway because, well, i'll use any excuse to photograph a beautiful autumn moon.

Technically, the lunar cycle's about 29.5 days, which is why you'd be off. But pay attention this week - Wednesday evening/Thursday morning will be a lunar eclipse! And according the map on this page (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6307233/), you should be in a good spot to see it and no doubt get some great pictures as well.

“"it is hard to be brave," said piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "it is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us."”

this site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.

he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.

if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
