I have a 10 day old boy, I'm always up now. I sleep in 2 hour power naps between feedings and am getting pretty good at one hand typing on the laptop. Is this a normal thing for you? I suffered insomnia for over 20 years and have some good ideas on how to sleep.

Been fighting the crud for the last few days, not sick enough to get any sympathy but feel about 50%. So I just hang around here for the laughs.

Felix, don't think I ever commented on your posts, but really like your ideas. The thought of a 2000# 150hp roadster could be a commercial success. Ya really can't develop one from scratch because of the EPA/DOT stuff, but an inexpensive conversion of a 914 or MR2 could be a hit.

Mornin JP,
Had to get up to pee, no point in trying to go back to sleep cause the wife is sawing logs. Why is it women can look so good during the day but can snore like sailors? It must be to test that saying about if you can love em when _______ it's true love. Not feeling so lovey right now. I need coffee.

Dave, aren't we required by law to love them or sumthin?
My poor wife, 3 months pregnant and she's either sick, or stomach hurts, or whatever. We're planning on going to church this morning, but I'm not sure if she's going to make it.
Something about the 2nd trimester makes things easier. We can only hope.
I've got coffee and a new CD to listen to. Good times.
Maybe some car work today?

Ya pregnant wifes are tough. You feel so bad for them and there's not much you can do. You would think after having 1 they would never do it again but, they forget. Kinda like Type IV engines.
Take good care of her Tom

Thanks Dave, you kill me though with the T4 comment.
I sold my 2270, vowed I would never touch a T4 again. Decided to do a 6-conversion. Couldn't pony up the $$$ for a 3.0 or 3.2 to do a MS conversion on. Thought about a subie conversion. Ugh. Didn't do it.
Now, I have 3 broken down T4's in the garage and a complete 1.8L still sitting in the back of my truck.
Here I go again...
I try and take care of her. I do a lot more cleaning and cooking, along with all of the other housework things.
She's just starting to show, and I think it's dead sexy.
There's nothing more special than seeing the first ultrasound and to see a 8 week old baby's heart beating. Makes everything else in the world seem small.

About three months ago,my wife was late and thoughtshe was pregnant again. She went tothe Doc for her normal checkup and told her, so they ran a test and found out she wasn't. The wife called me and siad it came up negative. We were both a little disapointed, individually we thought it would be cool maybe we could have that little girl. We talked later that night and my wife said honey, if we want to have another we should do it now, I want to get past the sleepless nights and diapers. What do you think?
My reply: honey if you were pregnant, it would be a blessing, boy or girl, I would be thrilled. But to do that for a third time on purpose? What are you out of your head... I enjoy my sleep and what little remaining sanity I still have.
Congrats Tom...... Rest up..

Indeed. I'm not sure how many more we want. I say 2, she wants 3. We both agreed not to buy a minivan.
I say 2. We can fit both of them and the dog into an Audi A3 and I'll be happy with that.
I think I went back to a stock T4 for an engine choice once we found out she was pregnant. I'm on a limited budget now - and a limited time frame.
Car needs to be running by July 28th.

Nothing planned for today.
Refill the pool after yesterdays chemical wash and bbq this afternoon.
In the mean time I'm gonna sit in the garage holding my extra steering wheel making vroom vroom noises in anticipation of getting my car back...

Been there done that... It's overrated, but since that's all I have right now, it will have to do.

Man, I've had it bad since the beginning of December when my tooth was bad. I went 4 days without sleep then and I think it screwed up my body. I'm only just recently getting back to a somewhat normal sleep cycle, but last week I still had two nights where I couldn't sleep until after 2am. I'd love to be asleep by 11:30 or 12 and get up at 7:30 or so.
