I am so excited to finally announce that our family will be expanding. Baby Perruna, our first child, is currently between his or her 12th and 13th week with a due date of May 4, 2009. We can’t tell if it is a boy or a girl nor do we want to; we don’t have many surprises in life so keeping the lid on this one is perfect. If it’s a boy, the name will be Joseph Antonio (we both agree) and if it’s a girl – no compromise yet. Lilliana and Sophia top the list for me while Isabella, Emily, Emma and Sabrina top the list for my wife.
Take a vote, we’d love to hear what you think:
As you have read, I have had a couple of excuses as to why this blog has been mostly dormant over the past few months but now you can understand why: My wife is pregnant.
I won’t lie, the market has been kicking in the world’s rear-end since the summer so the timing couldn’t have been better to take a couple of months off. My priorities changed and the blog was no longer at the top of this list.
However, I do plan to keep writing on the blog and no time in my mind could be better than this weekend to write a couple new articles and some quality analysis realted to this market recession (not even close to a depression). The time to buy depressed shares is now/ near; we don’t have to jump in with both feet but accumulation from this point forward is something I am taking serious.
So, now you know where I have been since my trip to Europe (yes, the baby was conceived in Portugal). I will be back but do understand that my priorities have changed. My family always comes first, then my career, my investments, our friends and finally this blog. Chrisperruna.com won’t die but I can’t say that I can post everyday as I have in past years. However, when I do post, it will be of the highest quality!
Don’t forget to vote on the baby names!
Looks like an inverted head and shoulders coming off a double-bottom 😉
Seriously, congrats!
Congrats Chris! I voted Isabella.
I say Isabella or Emma!
cant wait for the new content Chris, but take your time and enjoy these moments, its priceless!
Congratulations to you and yours, and here I thought the market had just made you nauseous…now I know who has been nauseous…LOL I’ve been through two pregnancies so I know all about nauseous. And here is some advice…your wife’s nausea IS NOT IN HER HEAD. When I was pregnant people would tell me it was all in my head and I would want to strangle them. I’ts hormonal related, we also get far more emotional at this time. Pregnancy is a big deal, a new life is being formed and it is an awesome thing to behold. I voted for Isabella or Sophia, they are both beautiful names while Emily is the most common girls name today. If you need any advice just let me know, LOL, Janet
Congratulations on the kid!
I must admit, I’ve sorely missed your market insight over the past few months, but it’s only sensible to have family a priority.
Again, congrats. I can’t wait to read about your next stock of the day.
