“You Know Nothing Jon Snow…”

There are hundreds of books on parenting. This is what they don’t tell you: It applies all of the time and none of the time. Let me explain. Month one of fatherhood was spent learning. This is my first child and I didn’t have any experience rearing a sibling so I was going in blind.… Read More “You Know Nothing Jon Snow…”

Love Letter

I hate it. I hate the fact that I have no self-control when I’m around you. I’ve spent the better part of my adult life learning how to control my emotions. I revel in the fact that I can suppress my feelings and keep a poker face on at all times. When I’m around you,… Read More Love Letter

Week 2 – Daddy Duties.

My daughter has changed so much in the two weeks that she’s been home. Her facial features have changed, she has certain mannerisms, and she’s aware of her surroundings.  As she grows, there will be more overt and subtle changes that will come about. The change inside of me started the second she was born.… Read More Week 2 – Daddy Duties.

It’s Time.

It was 1:13 pm on January 2nd 2018 when she texted me to call her.  I was at my desk and picked up the phone. “What’s up babe?” She tells me that she spoke to her doctor and they decided to induce her into labor.  She had reached the 40 week mark and they did… Read More It’s Time.

A Strong Foundation.

Day 4 of the throwback baby pics starts NOW! Babies are fragile little things when they are born.  They’re constantly crying, shivering, weak, and need the love and support of the parents to get them through those rough patches during the first year of life.  There are exceptions to every rule.  As you can see… Read More A Strong Foundation.

Life Imitates Life.

It’s almost week 37 on the pregnancy tour and our little girl could be arriving any day now.  In the spirit of that event, over the next week, I’ll be posting one of my baby pictures with a little story related to the photo each day. The photos I selected are baby photos so that… Read More Life Imitates Life.

Dear Daughter.

Dear Daughter: You’re about 5 weeks away from coming into this world and there are some things I want to talk to you about.  Your room is coming along and should be finished by the time you get here.  I’m sorry, I wasn’t exactly the fastest in helping to get it ready and it should’ve… Read More Dear Daughter.

Can I Borrow $20?

Have you ever had a vivid dream that you can recall word for word?  I recently had one where I was talking to my teenage daughter, yes the one that isn’t even born yet.  What’s funny is the conversation was probably similar to one that every parent has had with their child at some point… Read More Can I Borrow $20?
