So a lot has happened since I last posted.  It's a sort of, good news / bad news type of posting today. About two weeks ago the doctor's found a white spot on the heart of my baby via ultrasound.  Now, while this was said to be "not uncommon," it did create a "twice...

As a touring musician who endured near claustrophobic circumstances in an oft-crowded tour bus with other smelly musicians, you would likely think that I learned nothing about being a good dad during those years.  And generally, though much of the experience wasn't "kid...

Last night I felt the baby kick for the first time.  I had dropped by baby's momma's house after assisting with her roommate's tire change (long story) and as we sat on the couch, she grabbed my hand and placed it on her growing belly. "You feel that?" I did feel...

I sort of had an idea, with the couple of baby showers that I had inadvertently walked into over the years, that having a baby meant you got some presents.  Besides seeing women eating candy bars out of diapers and playing "Pin the Sperm on the Egg" it also seemed...

Is it just me, or do all parents feel this way?  I'm impatient.  I want to know what the sex of my baby is and I want to know now.  What are we naming him... or her?  Do I buy a little baseball glove or am I going to be buying barbie dolls?  Do I paint the room pink or...

I just got done watching an episode of Strange Sex on Discovery Health, and pigeoned between a segment about "a woman with two vaginas and two uteruses who was having a baby" and a piece on "a woman who was born with male chromosomes but had female sex organs," was the...
