Obie Photo Shoot #2

Superbaby. Blue eyes for now… Happy baby boy. Funny face. Chillin’. Dad’s hand is about to eat me. Happy boy. Judo kick. Baseball star.

Obie Photo Shoot #1

When we were at the Biltmore House, I did a little photo shoot of Obadiah when he was waking up. Hope you enjoy: Contentment personified. He looks either excited or scared. Singing away. What a stud. “Daddy looks funny.” Striking a pose. Green-thumbed Obie.

1st Family Vacation

The Agnew clan got to experience our first family vacation over the weekend. A newfound friend of mine called needing a fill-in minister to officiate a family member’s wedding this weekend (the original minister had emergency surgery).

What Baby Poop Can Teach You

I have learned how to swaddle, change diapers, get sprinkled on, constantly smell poop, rock, live off of no sleep, and other great things.

Week 39

How your baby’s growing: Your baby’s waiting to greet the world! He continues to build a layer of fat to help control his body temperature after birth, but it’s likely he already measures about 20 inches and weighs a bit over 7 pounds, a mini watermelon. (Boys tend to be slightly heavier than girls.) The outer layers of his skin …

Week 38

It’s week 38!  My pregnant wife has never been cuter, and I have never been more excited!  I know that Obadiah could be here at anytime and I don’t know it all at the same time.  I’m ready for him to be here, but if Amanda called me right now and told me it was time to go, I would …

How your baby’s growing: Congratulations — your baby is full term!

Week 36

How your baby’s growing: Your baby is still packing on the pounds — at the rate of about an ounce a day. He now weighs almost 6 pounds (like a crenshaw melon) and is more than 18 1/2 inches long. He’s shedding most of the downy covering of hair that covered his body as well as the vernix caseosa, the …

Week 35

How your baby’s growing: Your baby doesn’t have much room to maneuver now that he’s over 18 inches long and tips the scales at 5 1/4 pounds (pick up a honeydew melon). Because it’s so snug in your womb, he isn’t likely to be doing somersaults anymore, but the number of times he kicks should remain about the same. His …
