Oh Great… Another Dad Blog About Another Baby
While the rest of the country was preparing to celebrate the 4th of July, we were busy enjoying the eviction of Popeye from our bedroom. Don’t feel to bad for the little guy though, it’s not like we kicked him to the curb. I spent the better part of last…

I sweetly recall the good old days. You know, like last month, when we naively thought that we had this night time thing on lock down. The little man would go to sleep around eight, we’d top him off around midnight, he’d wake between four and five for another feeding…

On Monday, Popeye hit the big three month old milestone, the unofficial end to the unofficial fourth trimester. He celebrated by drooling and by discovering his lower lip with his tongue. It was glorious. The little man’s internal body clock seemed to be right on time. It was as if…

When I initially started That Poore Baby, it was going to be a little journal to document the journey of having a baby. I decided to use Tumblr since I had always heard how great it is and I liked the idea of doing a mix of short posts, photos,…

We’ve been at this game for a while now, twelve weeks according to my handy calendar, and we’ve learned a shit ton. The internet tells me that if you do something for 10,000 hours, you can call yourself an expert. Now, according to my maths, we’ve logged just over 2,000…
