Me too. I am feeling nervous before birth – for the first time. During the last three pregnancies I was pretty chill about things, with a We’re having (another) baby? Cool! attitude. But this time I’m surprised to feel nervous. I suppose it’s the number of children and knowing how things change once a baby is [...]
Happy Father’s Day to all you dads & fathers-to-be out there! This is a great day to think about those wonderful people without whom we’d be plain old guys: our children. Mine surprised me with the best gift ever – a photo book of each of my 3, with photos going from birth through toddlerhood [...]
Apparently when it comes to us & kids, 3 is not the magic number – #4 is on the way! This was a surprise, our first unplanned pregnancy. The other 3 were all planned, though the TTC (trying to conceive) times varied from 1 1/2 years to 1 week to 1 day. I really wasn’t [...]
Morning sickness SUCKS – and the gnarly thing pictured above might be the best thing to fight it. Morning sickness (or day sickness since it’s not limited to mornings) is something my wife dealt with in each of our pregnancies. Of all the ideas suggested in the two that worked best for her were Eat [...]
The Green Bay Packers won the Super Bowl with preparation, mindset & focus – a great lesson for fathers-to-be. It’s the day after Super Bowl XLV and congratulations to the Green Bay Packers on the win. They came prepared, with a mindset that let them play mistake-free football. They were ready to take advantage of [...]
Loving this quote in today’s New York Times by the one the family who own the Pittsburgh Steelers, who are playing for the Super Bowl on Sunday: “Panic doesn’t seem to work; let’s put it that way. Enough people seem to have gone through that. Our philosophy is you pick good people and try to [...]
Birth is a life-changing event. I propose to all the fathers-to-be out there to prepare for birth like it’s your Super Bowl. For a football player, the Super Bowl is the ultimate goal. It’s a chance to be the best on the biggest stage. And even though a big deal is made in the media [...]
Answering reader question here, about this item from the Meet Me page: When we first met, my future wife lied and told me she was Irish. The first night we really got to know each other (after a couple of incidental meetings), my future wife did indeed lie to me and told me she was [...]
Finally – my first blog post in 2011! It has been awhile and what’s kept me busy has been a cross-country move, from New York City to Austin, Texas. It’s going to be interesting living in the South since I’ve spent most of my life in or within an hour of NYC. Organizing the move, [...]
