Nerds only: Name that onesie contest

Recently, I discovered Zazzle, an online apparel & merchandise store that allows you to order and sell custom products you design. And, like any excited father-to-be, I could barely contain my delight after finding the section for custom baby shirts and onesies. I’m not much of a graphic designer but I am very much a computer nerd. The idea that I can create clothes for my kid, over the Web, is right up my alley. I could not pass this up.

Off I went. Clicking and typing, dragging and dropping, searching for clip art, uploading images, choosing fonts, resizing and repositioning. I mastered the interface before deciding exactly what the 6-12 month, organic onesie I was bent on creating would say. But, there was no turning back. After tossing around some ideas, in a flash of pure geekdom, I knew what I wanted the shirt to say and how I wanted the message conveyed.

Rather than tell you the punch line, I decided I would invite the rest of you nerds to decipher for yourselves. Below is an image of the front and back of the actual one-of-a-kind (for now) onesie which arrived earlier today. Like my previous “A pictures is worth 300 albums” contest, the first person to leave a comment correctly describing the front & back will win a fun prize.

This contest will run for a week or until we have a winner, whichever occurs first.

We are having a baby!

Stork and baby I am unable to find the right words to capture the excitement and nervousness I feel as TB and I head down this fork in the road of the journey we began together almost 14 years ago. As crazy and unbelievable as it sounds, we are nearing the midpoint at 19 weeks as of yesterday.

These first 19 weeks have undoubtedly been so much longer for TB than me and she is certainly proving why she is The Boss by how together and on top of it she is. My wife is already amazing and now she’s having our baby. Wow.

Below are ultrasound pictures from various stages of early pregnancy.

Now is a good time to tell you about the new www.keithandtosha.com. It will eventually serve as the one-stop-shop for the personal pictures and videos we want to share with family and friends.

Finally, some particulars:

  1. The baby is due March 27, 2009.
  2. The baby was conceived on my birthday. TB got caught slipping. :smile:
  3. We are not finding out the sex, it will be a surprise.
  4. The chances of us naming our first child after you are pretty slim. However, do share your favorite names by posting a comment. The portmanteau, Keisha, has already been suggested by our friends Bus Chick and Bus Nerd.

I’m going to be somebody’s father. How real is that? Obama really needs to win.
