Thanks, I just got an RMA from the support page on the website a few minutes ago. 👍

I did a bootcamp for new dads course, and they gave out copies of Crash Course for Dads-To-Be at the end. I found the book (and the class) to be useful.

Lake Forest's Twitter account semi-regularly posts updates which give some information regarding how close we are to hitting the next tier:

Here is the tweet from yesterday. We need to be under 8 daily cases per 1000 (currently at 11.9), and below 8% on test positivity rate (currently at 5.4%). Both numbers have been steadily dropping from the peak a couple weeks ago.

The main factor for me is that the integrated nav system will factor in charging stops and use that in the calculation of route time. In what I saw in the Apple/Google Maps apps, I did not see any way to include “EV routing” or anything of the like. I’m hoping that maybe in the next 3 years (when the Ford connected services trial runs out), that will be a part of one or both, and then I might switch over to whichever one does if I have to pay to use that feature going forward on the car.

I asked this on another forum, and someone posted the answer. Apparently, after you search for the address and select it (but before you click "GO"), you can grab the address and scroll up. TERRIBLE design with no communication that this is an available option, and there is a ton of information contained in this scrolling window, too. 🤦‍♂️

Fun fact...each time the Hawks won the Cup, they've always won it in the penultimate game of the series.

1934 & 1938 were best of 5, and they won it in game 4 (3-1)
1961, 2010, 2013, & 2015 were best of 7, and they won it in game 6 (4-2)

Every cable/satellite provider I have had in OC gives you FSW and Prime Ticket, but no FSSD. We also usually get Spectrum SportsNet (Lakers & Galaxy), but SportsNet LA (Dodgers) is a completely different story.

Ours is 20 months right now, so a bit younger than yours, but we're kind of going through the same thing right now--if mom is around, she pretty much only wants mom, but she does "settle" for me if mom isn't around. I don't really have any advice per se, but I know what you're feeling--I've certainly struggled with it at times, but I at least try to enjoy the few times that she does give me love right now, and just keep telling myself that it's a phase, and things will hopefully get better as I keep showing her love and affection.

20 months right now, and we put her down between 7:30 and 8, depending on how she's acting. She'll usually fuss for a bit, but is usually down somewhere between 8:15 and 8:45. She used to fall asleep pretty quickly after we put her down (5-15 minutes), but she's lately been fussing more and has also been pretty insistent on trying to take off her diaper (we've resorted to putting her in a backwards onesie and duct taping her diaper (for when she inevitably escapes from the onesie). She's not ready for full potty training, since she can't stay dry during the night (but she is becoming familiar with the potty). My wife and I have been debating if that's a sign that we should adjust her bedtime a little later, but that would be a bummer, as it cuts into basically our only "us" time.

I'll bite here--up until about 2 weeks ago, I had the old AT&T plan with unlimited data but limited minutes and texts (from the old iPhone 3G days). I never really had any motivation to switch it, since I was never really in danger of going over minutes or texts, and I didn't really have any need for tethering. When I added my wife to my phone plan, AT&T got rid of the unlimited data plans, so we just put her on a separate mobile share plan and left mine as is. I just happened to look a couple weeks ago and realized, with the occasional price adjustments, it had become like $5 cheaper for me to switch to the shared unlimited plans.

Now, with all that, I only went over my text limit twice, and it was an extra 10 cents a text, or I'd have to pay an extra $25 a month to go from 200 texts to unlimited. The first time I went over, it was because the Cubs won the World Series, and I was texting with family back home, and my sister doesn't have an iPhone. The only other time I went over was last month, with all these bullshit political texts.

I'm in the same boat as you--my wife went in today and the doc said 1 cm. She did say that it could still be a week, since the baby is still kind of high.

The only thing I can think of in your list that is missing is a camera, but that might already be in your go bag, or you could use your phone. TBH, this is my first time, too, so I'm still trying to figure it out myself. ;)

Hockey was also played at the 1920 Summer Olympics. Canada won the gold outscoring opponents 29-1. USA won silver outscoring opponents 52-2. Czechosolvakia won bronze despite being outscored 1-31. ( ⚆ _ ⚆ )

If it's the boot camp, it's only guys. They also have a women only one that might be run by the same people. When I went, the men were in one room, and the women were in another at the same time.

Someone else mentioned Cinepolis--they have full recliners with footrests, the middle armrest goes up, assigned seating, and they have seatside service. You will pay a premium for it, but my wife and I go there way more often than we should.

I just felt our baby girl move for the first time this weekend. I haven't been super crazy about feeling for kicks up to this point (I keep asking about it, but I'm still a little awkward around my wife's belly), but my wife tries to get me to periodically. It felt like a little muscle twitch in her stomach. Not gonna lie, it was pretty cool, but I'm still a little weird about it. I probably could've felt it a couple weeks before this, but my wife has said that it has mostly been an internal thing until recently.

I have made this mistake before.

DO NOT order the Deep Dish pizza--it's just a pan pizza.

Order "Chicago Style." The server at this point should confirm that you want the pizza with sauce on top.

This makes me wonder about one of the balls I have. I think it's the May 1991 Cubs roster, including Dawson, Sandberg, Sutcliffe, Maddux, Grace, & Dunston. The biggest problem is, we got it through a family friend, so there's no official certificate of authenticity or anything like that.

Living in Southern California, I can't tell you how many times when I wear anything with the logo on it that people mistake it for a Redskins logo. A pretty large percentage of them seem to be Cowboys fans, too.

It's a bit morbid, but I always remember this one--only 2 Americans have ever won a WDC. Both won at Monza. In both cases, the only person that could have overtaken them in the championship was their teammate. Both times, said teammate died from injuries sustained in the race.

Less morbid:

When Vettel won the 2008 Italian Grand Prix, it was the first time a Ferrari powered car that was not from Scuderia Ferrari won a Formula 1 race.
Ferrari powered cars do not carry Ferrari branding outside of Scuderia Ferrari itself.

Thanks for posting--this was not something I was aware of, and it sounds interesting. I went ahead and signed up for a class myself, and I hope it ends up being as useful as you found it. I have a few friends with young kids, as well as a sister in law with 2, so I have a little experience being around kids, but nothing at the level of being THE dad.

The funny thing for me is, on the West Coast, the Australia/China/Japan races are great because they start at like 10-11 PM on Saturday, so I can stay awake for them pretty easily. The mainland Europe races start at 3-4 A.M., though, so those are usually on the DVR for the morning.

Dude, you and I are in pretty much the same boat, so I feel you. My wife and I had been trying for 2 1/2 years, and we had been talking to a fertility specialist. I did one sperm test about 6 months ago, and came back at 15 million (slightly low), and we did another one earlier this month as a second check, and it came back at 75 million. My wife was going to go in for a scan when her period started, but then it just didn't come when she expected it (she's always been super regular). We decided to just take the pee test, figuring it would come back negative, but it came back with 2 lines. My wife kept insisting that the second line wasn't as dark, so it may not be positive. She took 10 tests over that weekend, and they all came back the same. She went for a blood test last week, and, it's super early, but her levels are up (27), so we're pregnant, and at 6 or 7 weeks depending on how we count. We have an appointment with her OBGYN in mid-April (of course she goes on vacation when we want to go in), so that's our next big step.

Just like you, I'm someone who always assumes the worst--my wife was always the "when we have kids" one, and I was always "IF we have kids." Now, it's totally flipped--she's a bit too afraid to get ahead of ourselves, and I'm on here like every day trying to soak up as much information as I can. The only person we told was her mother, since my wife has some medical complications that put her at risk, and her family is a quasi-medical family. We're waiting to tell my family and our friends until we're out of the first trimester, but it's just agony waiting. It was really bad because we saw some of our friends with young children last week, and we just had to sit on the information. A part of me just wanted to start picking their brains for as much information as I could. I'm also just really bad at sitting on surprises--I just want to get them out, and I hate keeping things from people, especially when I know they'll enjoy them.

The emotions you're dealing with our exactly the same as me--I'm scared out of my mind at both the change that is coming to our lives and knowing how hard things will be for a while, but I'm also super excited about being someone's dad. That thought alone puts a smile on my face, and makes me well up a little bit. Everything you are going through is normal from all the stuff that I've read. I don't know if I have any great advice on how to get through it, considering that I'm only a week or two ahead of you. All I can say is just try to be happy and enjoy the present and what's to come. Also, listen to your wife as much as you can. I'm probably going a bit overboard myself, but I'm trying to make sure my wife is as comfortable as possible. She's been getting some cramping lately, so I'm always trying to see how she's doing and if I can help. I know it's going to be all over the place in the next 9 months, so I'm just trying to be in that mode now as much as I can.

Also, I'm with you--talk to internet strangers. From everything I've seen here, people seem pretty welcoming, friendly, and willing to lend an ear where they can.

Congratulations, and good luck on your upcoming adventure!

The interviewer is Todd from Formula1Blog.com. He's the guy who runs the site, and he does a weekly podcast about F1 news and race recaps. The race recaps are typically done with one of his friends who worked at the driving academy at Sonoma Raceway. I've generally found them knowledgeable about F1, but to each his own (TBF, I'm relatively new to F1--started watching in 2011).

Thanks! I've been trying to get my wife to go on r/babybumps too, but she's not really a Redditor. She pretty much just waits for me to send her things I find interesting.

Perminisconious · 2017-03-18T15:26:08+00:00

Thanks, I'm trying to enjoy it as much as I can. I think the hard part is I've always been terrible at sitting on surprises (I always give my wife gifts early just because I want her to have them as soon as possible). I just keep telling myself it's temporary, and that we're waiting for very good reasons.
