Another Week brings another DCDT Book Review because, in all honesty, reading books is about all that is left to do right now. The MoMFC is only 12 weeks away from D-Day, and we’re pretty much in cruise control at this point in time. So without further ado… The latest read through was the book […]

Wait…There are only THREE Trimesters?!?
The sound you may have heard this morning was more than likely the sound of my mind being blown as my wife reminded me that today marked the official start of the third trimester of her pregnancy. Now, I may not have picked up that math minor in college, like I had originally planned, but […]

4th of July Update
Three posts in and I’ve already fallen into the stagnation trap. One of the biggest changes to becoming a Dad is changing my time management.

Deciding on a Daddy Diaper Bag
It’s a dirty job and, unfortunately, both parents have to do it. I’m talking about changing diapers. They’re full of poop, they’re full of pee, and chances are pretty good that you’re going to have to change a LOT of diapers for a good amount of time. I’m no dummy; I know there’s no chance […]

Kicking It Into High Gear
Words cannot describe the feeling this Dad got the other night, but I’m going to do my best to pass along my emotion. Let me set the scene…. You’re lying in bed, saying goodnight to your 20-week-pregnant wife, getting ready to catch what few hours of sleep you can actually get, when all of a […]

Boldy Going Where…Many Men Have Gone Before
Father’s Day, 2014. It’s the last time I’ll ever (God willing) spend this day without actually being a father. The reason? My wonderful wife, as of Friday June 13th, is 20 weeks pregnant with our very first child. We’ve already hit most of the major pre-birth milestones (announcement, gender reveal, etc.) but, since nearly […]
