Unexpected trip to the hospital

Hey Guys, So we were in the hospital again this weekend.  My wife is getting stretch marks because her stomach is getting so big.  Those stretch marks kinda scab over a little and get super itchy.  She then developed a bit of a rash on the rest of her belly, her hands/arms and feet/ankles.  This…

Tips, thoughts, ranting

Hey Guys, We’re now just 16 days from our due date.  The shit could go down at any minute.  She went for a scan today and the doctor said the baby’s a week bigger than she should be.  I’m off any form of alcohol and am on high alert.  Here are a few things I’m…

Painting, false labour and random thoughts

Hey Guys, So I took a few days off last week in order to paint the nursery.  My wife was off on Friday and could therefore approve paint colours etc.  We go to the hardware store and buy a bunch of painting equipment.  I have never painted before. Instead of clearing the room I decide…

Pre-natal class recap

Hey Guys, So we went to a pre-natal class last weekend.  The whole idea is to give parents-to-be an overview of the three stages of labour (pre, during, and post) as well as a few helpful tips on breastfeeding and whatnot.  Thankfully, it was nothing like the Lamaze classes you’ve seen on TV or in…

Hey guys, I’m struggling here and I wanted to share my tale of woe with you.  Partially as a means of venting my frustration and partially as a warning to all you poor bastards who will one day follow me down this gruelling and treacherous path.  The following is the truest thing you’ll ever read:…

Update – A trip to the baby fair

Hey Fellas, Apologies for going dark for a while.  Things are really picking up here.  My third year of college started up in September and every weekend we seem to be going on day-long excursions, looking for baby stuff or attending baby fairs (where we look for baby stuff). Imagine a beaker full of nitro-glycerine…

21 Week Scan Results

Good news.  The baby appears to be fine.  The head, torso arms and legs all look normal.  Oh and it’s a girl. All of our friends and family are very happy for us, which is to be expected, but I’m starting to shift my focus to the logistical side of things.  I pester male co-workers…

Gender Surprise?

Hey Fellas, I was talking to a few of my buddies about the pregnancy and one of them asked whether or not we were going to find out the sex of the baby or if we were going to wait and make it a “surprise”.  Personally, I’d rather know beforehand.  Here’s how I see it: …

My Crazy Wife

!!!ATTENTION MEN!!! ***Do NOT impregnate a woman*** I don’t even know where to begin.  We’re like 16 weeks along at this point.  Sometimes she’s awesome, other times she just snaps for no reason.  You ever see those videos where a zookeeper is petting a sleeping bear?  But it’s not just any bear.  This asshole has raised…
