Cafe Preggers

Hi everyone,
I came across this column in the “Big Laughs” section of Baby Talk Magazine (Spring/Summer 2007 issue) and thought you’d get a laugh out of it like I did. Those of you who’ve been pregnant–or who have wives who’ve been pregnant–can totally relate to this!

Gatorade, Jack, and Baja Fresh

Poor Tania.
I don’t think she’s seen the light of day for over a week. I’m kinda getting worried that our neighbors might think I’ve got her locked in a dungeon under our apartment or something. Or that she’s sleeping through the days, tired from long nights of running guns for the Pope and Elvis’ secret [...]

Well, my motion-sickness feeling has seemed to have subsided, but now I am throwing up at least once a day, and sometimes twice a day. [...]

The Fuddy-Duddy Transformation

I can feel us turning into parents.
I think I’m beginning to see an intriguingly curious part of the parental perspective–the “old personness”–that is completely inaccessible to the minds of non-adults, and probably still (it was in my case) hidden from adult non-parents. It might be summed up like this: “Kid, you have no idea how much we changed our lives [...]

12 Week Pictures

Fresh pictures of Peanut!
The pictures didn’t come out stellar, partly due to what seemed like an older ultrasound machine, but Little Peanut is doing great!
However, much to my surprise, it appears that Peanut must’ve found an iPod–and don’t ask me how–loaded with 4th Avenue Jones or somethin’, ’cause the little squirt was rockin’ out. (New [...]

BabyBjorn Paranoia

Am I the only sane person who looks at those BabyBjorn Baby Carriers and thinks, “Danger, Will Robinson! Danger!”?
The BabyBjorn is a sound idea, of course. Convenient? Sure. Cool to wear? Uh, well, let’s not spin outta control here…
But pray tell me this, oh thou defenders of BabyBjorn–tell me what you do in the following [...]

“I Am a Father”

I thought I’d share with you all a short letter I wrote for the The Shepherd’s House Sunday morning bulletin:
“Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth!” - Psalm 100:1
I am a father!
Armed with fresh eight-week ultrasound pictures, I’ll be spending most of this week showing and telling everyone I know—and some of those [...]
