Aren’t I cute

I fancy myself a decent photographer. But when it comes to Kylah, I figured it would be best to turn her official baby pictures over to a professional. We called in a college friend of mine to come to our home and take some official photos. Heather of Heather Trimm Photography was great with us and ... ...

Baby, Family

Wow…

The last 72 92 hours 8 days have been amazing. That seems to be the only fitting word to describe the 92 hours of my life since Kylah was born. It’s been 92 hours 8 days since I looked into Kelci’s eyes and told her “Just one more push, I can see her head!” Or as ... ...

So, that just happened

We made a baby. A beautiful, happy, noisy, amazing baby. She’s absolutely gorgeous. I can’t stop staring at her. OR my amazing, beautiful, gorgeous wife. Both of them are so strong and such an inspiration. I just wanted to quickly say thank you to so many people who have sent tweets, facebook messages, texts and phone ... ...

Baby

And we’re off!!!

If you’re reading this, we’ve hit the hospital. Chances are, we’re not too far off from welcoming miss Kylah Makana into our lives. My wife has been brave. I have been nervous as all hell. It seems to work ok. I’ll have plenty more to share as we progress through this. Chances are it will be ... ...

We made a big baby, go figure

We made a big baby, go figure

It’s not common to have an ultrasound at 39 weeks, 5 days. But that’s what we did this morning. As you can imagine, I am pretty capable of making a big baby. I was 10 lbs, 21 inches Kelci was 8 lbs 8 oz All three of my sisters were 10 days late and bigger babies. And now let ... ...

Baby, Daddy

Place your bets!

39 weeks. That’s where we’re at today. Kylah’s getting ready to join this crazy world and I can’t wait to meet her. I know you all have been sharing our joy and our fun and learnings with us as we’ve gotten closer to the date. So, now I want to share something with you. I am putting ... ...

This isn’t the change they told me about

This isn't the change they told me about

Fun little story. Kelci and I have spent the last couple of weekends “nesting.” For those of you not too familiar with having a pregnant partner, nesting means she wants everything spotless, organized and put together, but she can’t do any of it. Part of this nesting process involves washing every piece of clothing the baby may .....

Family

Amazing people amaze me

Throughout this process, and it’s been a process, I have constantly been amazed by people. I have made new friends, learned a lot from my family and have made an amazing connection to my wife. I’ve put a lot of emotions on this site over the last few months and I want to put one ... ...

Baby, Daddy, Family, Mommy

My cheeks hurt…

…from smiling so much! We had our first baby shower on Sunday. Both of our families were there, and it was an amazing time. Eric and I are not used to being the center of attention, we were probably both blushing as we opened a mountain of gifts. We received many of the basics needed to ... ...

Thanks for everything Kelci

Five years ago today, we said I do. In four weeks, we’re scheduled to become a family of three. Two of us have now become one family. And I just want to say how much I appreciate you and all of your support throughout these last few years as we have continued on our ... ...
