Just two weeks left until the projected birth day for our child. And the way my wife is feeling, I don’t think we’ll make it that long.
In the months leading up to this point, most of the conversation between my wife and I has been about preparation. How are we going to appoint the baby’s [...]
I can’t even call it mood swings…They’re more like haymakers. One day, I’m doing a great job as a husband and friend, and I’m a joy to be around. The next day, I never listen and I’m selfish.

I’m a sucker for fried chicken. It’s a [...]
Almost three months into our pregnancy, and it appears that baby is making my wife far less tired and a lot hungrier. Snoring has been traded in for baked potatoes and pizza, which are two of the baby’s favorite food selections in recent days.
