Those early days of fatherhood with my first were such a change from the child-free days. My priorities flipped. Beautiful moments are happening all around us and he taught be to focus on them more. He was so little. My first mini me.

I've been asked that question half a dozen times in the last two weeks. Everyone from coworkers to friends and family seem to be vocally curious if we are having unprotected sex or not. We've really enjoyed the first two plus years of having Mr. Dude around, but it has been a lot of work. Going from a childless couple to a couple with a child, as well you may already know if you are a parent or caretaker, causes a great change in your life. Those early months are wonderful…

I was in my 30s before I participated in my first 5k. My son, however, participated in his first 5k at the ripe old age of 1. No, don’t worry, he didn’t walk it. We did bring a stroller along for him to ride in as we went up and down the paths in Chicago’s […]

Two nights a week I watch Wes while Abigail is at class. Its for a few hours at a time and we often read stories, play or just generally goof off.

We won a mamaRoo by 4moms in the 4moms Registry Contest held by the company in April 2013. These are my thoughts and impressions made by the product’s use in our home over the last several months. The mamaRoo is quite possibly my favorite piece of baby tech in the house. Wes would not fall […]

This kid makes me smile. Seriously. Even when he’s upset or having a “bad day” I can’t help but smile. He’s so damn cute. Abigail often says “Life’s so hard when you’re a baby” when he’s grumpy. I mean really, how bad can it be for a baby who’s healthy and always has one or […]

Labor has finally started and we think things are going to progress. Off to labor & delivery we go now. Let’s just hope it doesn’t take too long. We’ve been waiting for this for months! Can’t wait to meet Wesley! Stay tuned to Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. We’ll keep you updated there along the way […]

Today I packed my hospital bag. After taking our birthing class I feel like I’ve been given the keys to a new car, but have no idea how to drive. I don’t REALLY  know what I’m getting myself into at the hospital do I? I’ve heard all kinds of stories and been given all kinds of […]

Early this morning (1-ish) I was still awake and assembling Wesley’s bassinet. The thing was more complicated to put together than I thought. Seriously. It took about an hour to assemble. That hour turned into about 60 seconds of time lapse video footage I thought you might enjoy watching.
