Do you want to know if you are having a boy or a girl? That is the question!
Finding out or not finding out the sex of your baby can change your experience as an expecting parent. Here are some things to consider…
To Sex

You can concentrate on only boys names, or only girls names [...]

Picking a baby’s name is a tough decision!  When we finally picked a name for our son, Ace, we loved it!   We worked hard trying to figure out the perfect name that we both liked…only to be pummelled with rude responses.
Where do people get the right to criticize the name you pick for your baby?  [...]

Today is my wife’s birthday!  She is ?? years old. (I’m no dummy.  I man could get killed for publishing his wife’s age online!)
It really sucks that I couldn’t spend time with her on her birthday.  I travel some for work.  I go to different factories and fix their machinery.  Sometimes I have to spend [...]

There are so many reasons that a baby cries.  A baby cries because they can not talk.  It is their way of expressing their needs and emotions.
One of the cool things that I have picked up on are Ace’s different cries.  He cries a certain way when he is hungry.  Another way when he is [...]

One of my biggest pet peeves is parents or grandparents that freak out because a kid fell down and bumped their head.  Do they really think that running 100 miles per hour across the room yelling, “Oh my God! Are you OK?” is going to help?  I think not.
My son is crawling now.  He is [...]

Well, after being afraid of taking Ace to daycare (see previous two posts about this here and here), I have finally loosened up a little bit. He went to daycare three days this week. The first day was a bit rough because he went to the doctor in the morning and got his [...]

I found this really cool video on YouTube. This is especially for all of you expectant fathers that visit the site.

Ace never moved this visibly while he was in his mommy’s belly, but when he did move it had some force! His mom used to say she could feel his toes digging between [...]

Let’s face it. All men are big methane factories packaged into hairy bodies. Or in my son’s case…hairless bodies.
I don’t understand. He has never eaten chili beans, White Castle, or drank beer. What gives? Does Similac fall into the category of “You will need an extra pair of underpants to take to work” foods?
And why [...]

I have to highly recommend that every dad out there reading this blog goes to see every ultrasound. When my wife was pregnant I could see her belly getting bigger. I knew that something was happening inside her, but it never really sunk in.
It finally sunk in when I saw the first ultrasound… Click on [...]

I just realized I have not posted any pictures of myself or my son, Ace.  I just added a page to the site called Ace’s Pictures.  I’ll keep adding pictures as I get them.
The picture to the left was done at Olan Mills.  Ace was about 4 months old.  This picture session was awesome!  [...]
