And there I was. Sound asleep in bed. It was around 6:45 in the morning and I awoke to our dog staring up at me crying and whining. Oh God. Don’t tell me. You see, our dog was never the crying-whining type. But since having Monkey, he must have noticed how when Monkey cries, he gets our attention.
So, over the last few months our dog has regressed and turned into a baby. He drives us crazy with all of his whining lately. And like most dogs who may cry because they need to go outside in the morning, our dog [click to continue…]

As parents, your heart sinks when your baby is throwing up. You feel so helpless. And you can’t help but get a little scared because they can’t tell you why their throwing up, what hurts, what’s wrong, or what’s going on with them.
I really have to begin by saying that I miss all you guys and Jane has told me several times that many of you have been asking about me. I’ve just put my ‘dad hat’ on and have put my nose down and have been working very, very hard. The free time that I do have, I spend with Monkey of course.
You know, I debated and debated with myself whether or not to write this post. After all, it’s 2:39 AM and I’m struggling to keep my eyes open. And besides that, this is surely a touch subject with some of you – especially if you’re a lazy new father. But before I get started on my rant, let me fill you in on a little background here…
One thing about fatherhood and parenthood that’s surprised me is how much I’ve become interested in what Monkey is thinking and how his little mind works and learns. I guess throughout pregnanthood I never thought about how things would be day-to-day with Monkey. And I never really thought about the feelings I’d feel or the thoughts I’d think as I held him and stared into his deep blue eyes.
With the birth of our little baby Monkey, we got way behind on some of the great products we received that needed to be reviewed – as I’ve mentioned a few times now to keep reminding myself. LOL! Now that things are calming down a little around here, Jane is back posting on our pregnancy and baby blog here, and will be getting back to Twittering.
I’ve got a lot to cover and have breastfeeding questions from Jane in this post today. Please bare with me, I am beyond exhausted. The good news is that if you are pregnant and your hormones are kicking into high gear, this post won’t get your tears flowing like some of you mentioned in the previous blog post. 
Are you ready for my LONGEST blog post to date? Grab a cup of coffee and let’s get you all caught up on everything we’ve had going on!
Pregnant Jane has been asking me for the last few days to confess on our pregnancy blog about my “packing for the hospital” ordeal. Now before I dive into the whole “packing for the hospital” bit, Jane wanted me to share what I have prepared in our car for you.
It began like a normal evening. I was in the living room and Pregnant Jane was in the bathroom taking a bath. After a few minutes, she called me into the bathroom. I figured she needed soap or maybe even a towel.
