No More Fuzzy Pictures For Jane, Tarzan, And Monkey
Jane and I were getting VERY frustrated with our digital camera. If Monkey made any tiny movement at all, the picture would come out all blurry. There were a couple of GREAT shots that we missed out on. And I just couldn’t deal with it an...
Fatherhood Slaps Me Across The Face Like An Escaped Wild Monkey Searching For Bananas
And there I was. Sound asleep in bed. It was around 6:45 in the morning and I awoke to our dog staring up at me crying and whining. Oh God. Don’t tell me. You see, our dog was never the crying-whining type. But since having Monkey, ...
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! What are you thankful for?
Jane, Monkey, and I hope that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Be sure to take a few minutes today and think about what you’re thankful for. As for me, I’m thankful for having such a loving wife who is the absolute best mother to ou...
Baby Throwing Up: Monkey Throwing Up Formula Last Night. We Were Scared.

Thoughts from a hurt daughter: What does it take to win a dad’s love?
I’ve had a rough past two days, but it has nothing to do with Monkey or Tarzan. It has to do with my dad. Surprise, Surprise. I am at my wit’s end right now with what to do. Tomorrow marks eight weeks since my dad has talked to me...
At roughly this exact time last year, we made a little Monkey.
Happy Halloween everyone! So here it is. Halloween night. While the ghosts and witches roamed the streets going house to house asking for candy, Jane and I were out and about at a Halloween Party. A few jello shots later, we found ourselves h...
From “what the, hold up, wait a minute” to “This is cool, I’m a Dad. And I like it. uh huh, uh huh.”
I really have to begin by saying that I miss all you guys and Jane has told me several times that many of you have been asking about me. I’ve just put my ‘dad hat’ on and have put my nose down and have been working very, very hard...
When Boobs Collide: The Breastfeeding and Post Pregnancy War. It’s crazy out here.
This will more than likely be my first and last rant on anything on this blog. I just have a few things to get off my chest and I apologize ahead of time for pressing the pause button on our normally scheduled blog posts… Even before I begin,...
An open letter to soon-to-be Dad’s and new Fathers: MAN UP you lazy #&%$. Seriously.
You know, I debated and debated with myself whether or not to write this post. After all, it’s 2:39 AM and I’m struggling to keep my eyes open. And besides that, this is surely a touch subject with some of you – especially if yo...
Is the “six weeks of no sex rule” after having a baby merely folk wisdom dating back hundreds of years?
Yes, we’ve come full circle here. It seems like years ago when Jane was 16 weeks pregnant and I was writing about her crazy hormones and lack of sex. Back then, I never thought too much about what life would be like after Monkey was born as...
10 ways our baby has told me how much he loves me and how to tell if your baby loves you!
Although our son Monkey is nearing three weeks old, he’s already shown me that he loves me at least 10 times now. Now of course babies have their own unique ways of showing their love. After all, they can’t talk. And they don’...
When does a baby sleep through the night? And other worn-out daddy questions ramblings.
Mommy Jane just went to bed to try and get a little sleep while our human alarm clock, baby Monkey is sleeping. Now I mean ‘human alarm clock’ in a loving way of course. The term actually popped into my head while Jane were quickly ea...
Learning about our baby: How he learns, develops, and what we can do to be better parents
One thing about fatherhood and parenthood that’s surprised me is how much I’ve become interested in what Monkey is thinking and how his little mind works and learns. I guess throughout pregnanthood I never thought about how things would...
A Monkey for our Monkey: Daddy’s Design Snoogie Seat Reviewed
With the birth of our little baby Monkey, we got way behind on some of the great products we received that needed to be reviewed - as I’ve mentioned a few times now to keep reminding myself. LOL! Now that things are calming down a little ar...

New Baby Monkey Photos! OK guys, I was able to get Jane to give me the OK to share some baby pictures with you!

Postpartum blues, help with breastfeeding, and ramblings from an overtired Daddy.

Can a father-to-be can be trusted with a razor?
It began like a normal evening. I was in the living room and Pregnant Jane was in the bathroom taking a bath. After a few minutes, she called me into the bathroom. I figured she needed soap or maybe even a towel. Boy was I wrong… I walked i...

Wife’s pregnancy makes husband’s gallbladder hurt? And other news…
Tarzan has been hurting… and it’s all starting to make sense now. A while back I wrote a post about how I was awoken early one morning with severe chest pain. It was scary stuff but thanks to some good ole GasX the pain went away aft...
Freaking out over baby products like strollers, cribs, and whatever else you buy for a baby boy.
I bet you knew this was coming at some point… The more I think about it, the more I realize how unprepared we are - and how much Jane and I have to do when it comes to figuring out what we need to get for Tarzan Junior. I was just on Amazon.com...
Wild dreams, up early, baby thoughts, not much sleep and Cheerios.
Poor Jane couldn’t get back to sleep after I went to bed at 1 something this AM. I couldn’t fall asleep for a couple of hours. Jane came out here at 2 AM, replied to her blog post that has like 500 comments and watched TV. Poor girl o...
Another father-to-be realization: Learning the sex of our baby makes things REAL.
The journey to becoming a father is a strange one at times; I’ll give it that. All of the realizations, thoughts, feelings, and more that I’ve shared on our pregnancy blog over the last month and a half have all been big… but not ...

How’s that for a blog post title for ya? Whew! Anyway, as Jane mentioned in her sneezing and peeing post, pregnancy week 16 has been VERY good for her. No nausea, no morning sickness, no headaches, no throwing up, just some hormone flair-...
A Dad-to-be realization came to me while sitting in court today.
As I sat there in court today, a thought popped into my head. And I bet this is a thought that all soon-to-be fathers have while their wife is pregnant. It’s one of those thoughts that just floats into your mind softly like a feather fallin...
