Everyone asks me what has changed in the months since becoming a father. Such a hard question to answer given the fact that the short answer is “everything”. Certainly, I am a bit more tired. I’ve become grayer, although I had already had a head start with that one for the last 10 years. The mid-section has gotten softer in the last 6 months. This morning I woke up with this pain in my back…I am getting older! I guess in retrospect, a good answer to that question is…what has changed is I don’t care nearly as much about all that insignificant stuff as I use to. Having a child has freed me… Continue reading

2014’s Resolutions…
I read this article last night that you “shouldn’t” (using that word loosely) end every word in “Y” when you speak to your baby. Another words, use baby talk with your baby, in the hopes that it will encourage your child to have good grammar while growing up. So, toying with a new years resolution, one of my resolutions this year was to try not to end every word I say to Reagan with a “Y”. Every parent I am sure can understand the use though of using “Y” after every word. You have a baby and suddenly poop is “poopy“, touch is “touchy“, dog is “doggy“, and so on. It was a ridiculous resolution to make given the fact that my daughter is so adorable and saying words that end in a “Y” is…well…so adorable. I made a mistakey. 🙂 So that resolution was tossed out the window the second I saw her in the crib this morning and I said “good morning, who’s the cutest girl in the whole worldy?”. Yep, tossed out the window…just like all the other resolutions I have ever made were. I still curse. I don’t have the body of a roman god. I still eat chocolate…lots of eat. Nevertheless, every article I see online is about resolutions so I feel as if I have to make at least one!… Continue reading
From The Stork…
After being 11 days late, she finally decided to make her grand appearance on Wednesday August 7th at 8:23 pm, coming in at a whopping 8 pounds 10 ounces, 20 inches long, with a full head of black hair, the cutest little dimple, and truly breaking her Daddy and Papa’s heart with her coo’s and cries. After the birth, a sleepless two and a half nights, and the anticipated signing of termination papers, I am thrilled to finally be able to introduce our daughter (by her name) Reagan Alma… Continue reading
Contractions are painful…
…and has harsh as it may sound, it’s about time she’s feeling them! We are well passed the due date and have been overwhelmed by emails, questions and texts, wondering what is happening here in the back of beyond! It has been a very frustrating and depressing few days but finally we have made our way into the hospital waiting room, the birth mom has been induced, and the show is about to begin
SOS…it’s feeling like home…
The Hotel has begun to feel a bit like home. We have our typical parking spot. The front desk staff (the ones during the normal business hours at least) quite obviously know me by their smile that seems to say “why are you still here?”. I send my bills and cards from the hotel. We enter through the side entrance. I bring my partner his coffee every morning, as the norm. I tidy up our room on a daily basis. And to make matters worse…I stopped housekeeping from cleaning up the room this morning because I had already emptied our garbage pails out for her…I enjoyed helping her out too! I need help… Continue reading
