Home Again

Rachel and Ava are home safely. We are all settling in. Thanks to everyone for the warm wishes! The staff at St. Joeseph's was top notch. Here are some videos of Ava at a few hours old.

Ava hospital gallery

Ava was born today! Rachel started to have some contractions last night (Thurs). I kind of fell asleep after timing the first one, so we went to bed. I was awoken at 6am to the news that her water broke. We packed up and got to the hostpital by 7am. At about 2:30 we found out Ava was breech (feet down). The doctor decided to do a cesarian section, which was scheduled for 5pm and at 5:28pm Ava came into the world. She was 8lbs 5 oz, and 20.5 inches. She is healthy and beautiful. Rachel is recovering nicely and is currently getting some much needed rest.

News and No News

First, the no news department. Ava Margret Parikh has not graced us with her presence yet. Rachel is really really really hoping the baby comes soon. For her it is the discomfort, for me its to stop answering "did the baby come yet?".

In the news department, I landed a new job. Starting July 17th I'll be working at National Business Furniture as the Sr. Online Marketing Analyst. I'll be handling the search engine advertising, as well as other forms of Internet marketing. It is a great opportunity for me and I am very excited to work with the top notch team in place and help get the most out of their online advertising. Get your next office chair at OfficeChairs.com!

I am sad to be leaving FindAccountingSoftware.com. I have had a great 5 years there with Mike and Dan Budiac and the peeps that came over from TFG, Carrie and JC. I wish them all the best and know they will continue to grow and succeed. I remember being added as the 6th person at the company and how good it felt not to cold call people. And not too long after that being able to handle the search engine side of things was the attainment of a goal in itself and the start of a whole new and ongoing education.

I'll have to dress up for work so my personal fashion consultant (my lovely wife) and I spent most of Monday the 3rd shopping for snappy clothing. I hate, not to mention cannot fit into, the clothes I wore to work 5 years ago. If any peeps are downtown and want to do lunch drop a line.
