In preparation for the arrival of my son, I’ve taken it upon myself to completely remodel his future room. The largest and most difficult part of this process is the demolition and removal of the old “room.”
Our house is a modest, two story structure and is around 110 years old. My plans for the baby […]
I came across this quote which I think encapsulates some of my opinion about the home paternity tests. I don’t think many people consider much beyond the conception part and then end up in less than ideal situations which end up compromising the health and happiness of a child.
“It is much easier to become a […]
In a previous post I mentioned that I had thrown out a long shot suggestion to my wife as to what we should name our unborn son. I provided this brief clue:
“It was the name of the baker in the Godfather who was bringing flowers to Vito Corleone in the hospital when Michael met […]
Part of being an expectant father is damage control, putting out the hormonally fueled fires that may crop up at any moment. Pregnancy is an emotional time for everyone, even if you aren’t the one with whom hormones aren’t wreaking havoc.
Seeing as how the father is not the one in the midst of the biochemical […]
My wife’s tears were barely dry when I walked through the door after work today. Why was she crying? Oprah made her.
This was not the first time this has made my wife cry. Oh no, there was the episode about the woman who trained dogs with love, the teacher who underwent fertility treatments, the […]
In an unbelievable commentary on society, Consumer Genetics of Sunnyvale, California is now selling paternity and genetics tests that can be “performed” at home. I put performed in quotes because the home part involves pilfering anything from a strand of hair from a brush to ABC (already been chewed) chewing gum and sending it in […]
A January article in Guardian Unlimited cites research suggesting that stress during pregnancy affects the health of a child.
The article quotes Vivette Glover of Imperial College London:
“We found that if the woman had a partner who was being emotionally cruel to them while they were pregnant it had a significant effect on their baby’s development. […]
I would like to introduce my son. Although he is as of yet unborn and unnamed, my wife and I call him “Sprout” and we are expecting to see him for the first time in 93 days. The ultrasound is a little grainy, but I think he looks like his old man.
Sprout […]
Despite rumors that their marriage is not doing well, Brangelina is pushing forward with their plans to raise their own village. That’s right, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie trying for another kid. I think it’s great that they love children so much, but how can two people with such busy, globe trotting schedules possibly take […]
A little while back I mentioned how much I like Google Calendar for staying on top of my busy schedule. Now there’s another offering from the Internet juggernaut that I recommend for any of you who want to share digital pictures with friends and family. Picasa, Google’s photo management system, provides the best of the […]
