Instead of woodworking, I'm been focusing on getting things ready around the house for a new addition to the family. We needed to do things like assemble cribs and strollers, finish some kitchen renovations, get a closet installed, and paint, paint, paint. Then two weeks ago I decided to go in and have sinus surgery done to clear up an infection issue I'd been dealing with for six months.
Fortunately, we were able to get most of it done, and recover from the surgery, because I decided to suggest Dana go to yoga class Tuesday evening.
Oops.
She came back and complained about some lower back pain. I attributed it to the class and asked if she felt a twinge at any point where she didn't get a pose right. She said no, that everything seemed to do well in class.
Four minutes later, she felt the pain again.
OOPS!
Timed it once more, just to make sure...
Yep. In retrospect, maybe yoga wasn't such a great idea, Ethan...
So off to the hospital we went, suitcases and bags and books in tow. A short seven hours later, my wife and I had a new addition to the family. So the Birth of a Roubo will have to take a seat for a little bit as the Birth of a Sincox takes precedence...
(Oh, and as a minor update on the Roubo... I checked the lumber in my garage-come-kiln the other day and it is light as a feather and straight as an arrow! So when I AM ready to get back to working on it, the lumber is good to go!)

I was going to guess this might be the reason for the recent absence but was hoping it wasn't because your baby got there earlier that would be healthy. Glad that wasn't the case (but sorry about the sinus thing).
Enjoy the time. Every week you'll be experiencing something new. It's the greatest thing. Congratulations!
Ethan,
Congratulations and best wishes to you and your newly expanded family. You've got the best job in the world!

Thanks, Anon and Rob!
Finley is quite healthy - scoring a 9 out of 10 on that test he had to take at birth. Passed the hearing test with flying colors, too. He's a sweet little thing and I look forward to all the fun times we're going to share!
(Typing with one hand is a bit of a challenge... might have to see if he'll sit in the bouncy seat when I'm checking email and blogs...)
At our house in the past 18 months we've had the birth of a lovely young daughter (now 6 months) and a lovely 300kg roubo. Strangely from conception to birth the roubo was 5 months slower...
Yes... I can see where than might happen, Daniel.
So far, my only free time seems to be between the hours of 9 PM and 11 PM - not really conducive to trying to finish up projects around the house, much less build a Roubo. :(
It is good to see I'm not in new territory, though.
