I can’t wait until my son is old enough to play with my old childhood toys. Luckily, we got plenty of time to clean them before he puts his hands and mouth in or on them. So, now you’re probably wondering what childhood toys do I still have? I got a few GI Joe’s…
the female anatomy
Last night, my wife gave me a crash course in contractions. No, it hasn’t happened yet!! I just really wanted to know so I don’t become paranoid in a few weeks. I never learned this in school or from my parents (even though my Uncle George was OB/GYN and my mother was his office…
reality doesn’t bite
I hope Ben Stiller doesn’t read this because I can’t afford a lawsuit — I got a wife, cat, and a baby to support and bills up the wazoo. When Nina and I announced to the universe that we were pregnant on Halloween, the due date of May 8th was so far down the road….
emotions
I don’t have a therapist (yet) to express my smorgasbord of feelings about being a first time daddy. So, I hope you’re sitting down because I am going to spill them right now. I am anxious, eager, excited, happy, lazy, lucky, nervous, overwhelmed, panicky, paranoid, relaxed, scared, tired, and worried. And, I am not even…
My NCAA Final 4 2016 Picks
When ESPN leaks my winning bracket because it will be perfect, I will only grant an interview to Carson Daly. So, without any further words, here are my Final 4 Brackets (yes, I have more than 1 and don’t you say anything — this is my website and I can do whatever I feel like).:…

sleep
When I tell people that my wife and I are going to be parents, they always tell me you won’t get much sleep. I am actually OK with it because I have taken a lot of naps in my life and I am happy to give them up for a little while so I can…
surprise baby shower at work
On Thursday, my co-workers surprised me with a baby shower. But, unfortunately, I wasn’t surprised. I have a way of getting people to tell me the truth — just kidding. I actually saw something about a boy’s baby shower on my co-worker’s computer and a few days later, I asked her when it would be…
St. Anthony VS Antonian
On Friday, I was at the University of the Incarnate Word as the St. Anthony Yellow Jackets defeated the Antonian Apaches by a score of 85 to 72. St. Anthony ends the regular season with a record of 29 wins and 5 losses and were undefeated in TAPPS 2-5A. They are poised for a very…
2016 National Signing Day SA
daddy updates
The last time I wrote to you was 10 days ago as Nina and I assembled a dresser. Or, actually, let me rephrase that, I built the dresser and the cat supervised and Nina took photos. Wait, let me rephrase that again, Nina took photos and she did some assembling. A few days after the…

St. Anthony VS Antonian – High School Basketball
On Saturday, I was at Antonian high school for another huge TAPPS 2-5A game between the St. Anthony Yellow Jackets (25-5, 2-0) and the Antonian Apaches (24-8, 1-1). It was a full house and several fans (including myself) had to stand. It was super loud and extremely energetic. There were definitely more St. Anthony fans…

ikea dresser
Last Sunday, Nina and I made an IKEA supply run for the baby and 2 of the things we purchased required assembling. One was a dresser and the other was a crib. Well, on Friday night, I decided to tackle the dresser. And, I will be totally honest and tell you that it was…
SA High School Football Wrap-Up 2015
stroller
This weekend, Nina and I purchased a crib and a dresser from IKEA. I am planning on assembling the dresser next weekend (that way, we can get all of the baby’s clothes out of our dresser). Also, my parent’s got us a stroller, car seat, and a car seat base on Friday and they came…
baby clothes
Two weeks ago, one of my co-workers at work gave Nina and I two huge boxes of baby clothes. We had such a blast going thru it and I must admit folks, baby clothes are so damn adorable and cute. After we sorted everything, it looks like Oscar is set for 2 years!! Man, that…
nipple cream
Nina and I have a baby registry. I am not asking for gifts, I am telling you to buy us gifts!!! I am kidding folks. The baby registry is basically for us so we know what we still need to get for Oscar and for our generous parents who want to buy us stuff….
