Alright everyone – time for another Dazed Dad Poll. Since we have such an amazing community of folks at our church – and since I’m a youth/young adults pastor, as soon as we told people we were pregnant, we got a TON of people letting us know they were ready to babysit anytime. Now, some […]

Baby Boys or Baby Girls: That is the Question
We have another ultrasound appointment on Friday. This is the big one – when they should be able to tell us definitively about the sex of the Cleakers. We are going to find out so we can help prepare ourselves and get ready for the twins. The last ultrasound technician was very sure that they […]
Hairy Babies Scare Me
When I was in high school, I remember seeing an infant baptism with a baby that had hair…a LOT of hair. Lots and lots of black hair. And it scared me. I feel like babies, cute babies, shouldn’t come out with a full head of hair. Now – I’m sure if “your” babies had a […]
A Note to Stay-at-home Dads

Diaper Poll Results: People Like to Mix it Up
A few weeks ago I posted a poll about diapers. I wanted to get a feel for what folks were doing when it came to diapers, whether people were going solely cloth, or disposable. There were some really good and helpful comments on the post about diapers and the pros and cons of both kinds, […]
Week 18
Just a brief update now that we are in Week 18. We had a few weeks where Sarah was feeling good, and that was great. But they didn’t stay long. Instead of the 2nd trimester bringing relief and a passing of the whole “feeling like crap” days for Sarah, unfortunately, that didn’t happen. Rather, the […]
“How to Change a Diaper” and other ways YouTube Will Save Me!
So – obviously I’m going to need to be a fast-learned with twins on the way – but I have never changed a diaper. Yup, not afraid to admit that. But I’m really not too worried – after all, I have YouTube!
