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 […]
Poll: Diapers – Cloth or Disposable?
Sarah and I talked a bit tonight about diapers. Sarah’s mom, Karen, sent us a copy of the The Eco-nomical Baby Guide: Down-to-Earth Ways for Parents to Save Money and the Planet. Sarah was reading the parts about diapers and she started talking about cloth diapers. Hmmm. Cloth diapers. Yay…..I actually know that cloth diapers […]
The Incubator is…still…incubating…
Being pregnant is hard work. I don’t know that from first hand experience, and I certainly am the first to say that I have no idea what it must be like to have your body go through so many changes and to be incubating two little people inside of you. So kudos to my wife! […]
Watch out Mommybloggers – Dazed Dad is here!
Back on November 25, 2006, I wrote a post on Pomomusings entitled “Hubbyblogger? Mommyblogger?” Here is a short quote from it: “During our time last night hanging out, we talked some about blogging, and about blogging about children, and it was decided that I would probably turn into a mommyblogger when we have kids. Not […]
Give Advice to New Parents Registering for a Baby Shower
This morning while Sarah and I were at our weekly “Day Off Breakfast” (otherwise known as “It’s frickin’ 7am and I’m hungry so get your butt out of bed so we can go get some food!”), we were talking about baby stuff: names, showers, registering for stuff, etc. And we were surprised to realize that…huh, […]
Second Trimester Update
Yesterday marked the first day of the second trimester. And to all of you who said that Sarah would magically start feeling better as soon as the second trimester began…I say, “Liars!” Just kidding – but we are still waiting for that second trimester magic to kick in. We heard that with twins it could […]
Paternity Leave Poll Results: Fathers Don’t Get Enough Time Off
I wanted to briefly share with you the results of our first Dazed Dad poll. The question wasn’t worded well, and I think the votes reflect that. The question was “What is the average length of paternity leave for working fathers?” The question should have been worded more like, “What should working fathers receive for […]
Trying to be Helpful but…Husband #FAIL
So last night I decided to be helpful. This isn’t to say that I haven’t been helpful so far in this pregnancy…I’ve been doing pretty well picking stuff up around the house, taking over the vacuuming (even though that chore had just recently been switched over to Sarah before we found out we were pregnant), […]
Help DazedDad.com reach 100 RSS Subscribers!
As of yesterday, DazedDad.com had 75 RSS subscribers – and we’d like to get over 100 by the end of the day today. Surely this is a selfish request – but one of the best things for me about this blog has been the comments, suggestions and advice received from all of its readers. I […]
Double Trouble!
We’re pregnant! While Sarah and I were in Hawaii, we found out we were pregnant – but it wasn’t until we got home that we got the even bigger news. Sarah wasn’t feeling well, so we made an appointment to see her doctor. When the doctor was doing the ultrasound (it was very early – […]
