First the Title

Many of you have asked that I start keeping a blog about my pregnancy, so here it is. I don't promise constant updating nor do I promise riveting content, but feel free to bug me if you want more and I'm being the lazy butt that I am.

Now, about the title. It's quite nerdy. In an attempt to avoid at least some of "the baby", "him/her", "it" and the even cheesier "little one", "peanut" or "sweet pea" that so many expecting parents find themselves resorting to in daily conversation, we've decided to nickname the kid-in-utero, Dax. This seemed to be completely gender neutral and sufficiently nerdy for the two of us. Also, B just had to get a Star Trek reference in there. Not many of you know this but our first wedding had a quote from Star Trek in it.

Anyway, for those of you not in the nerdy know. Dax is the name of a symbiotic alien that lives inside the stomach of another humaniod alien who was a main character in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. That's about were the similarity ends.

  1. Kristen Bell is marrying a Dax. Dax Shepherd...therefore I think it's a male name :) And yay, for blogging!

  2. Wow, I didn't know his name and B and I just starting to watch back episodes of Parenthood. Apparently B knew his name but either didn't think it was interesting enough to mention or he did mention it and I wasn't paying attention.
