A Not-So-Secret-Identity:

Boy Wonder’s Life Online

theincredidad May 6, 2018 2 Comments
My Grandma has photo albums filled with embarrassing childhood photographs of me. I didn't have a choice in what shots were taken, what made the books, and what should have been burned immediately. Lucky for me, those photo albums are buried on the bottom shelf of a bookcase in her dining room. Safely stored on the other side of the country, they have as little chance of seeing the light of day…

A Guest Post from Our Friends @ Twinstuff.com

A twin pregnancy not only changes the life of the Mom but also the Dad. It is different from a singleton pregnancy in so many ways and in so many aspects. This is why it is important for both parents to know what to expect when expecting twins, especially for the first time. At the outset, you have to know that there will be physical, emotional, and financial challenges throughout the journey. Of…

IncrediDad Vs. Baby Food

theincredidad April 26, 2018 2 Comments
All superheros in training need the right food to fuel their bodies right? Recently, Boy Wonder has started branching out from the boob to a more sophisticated pallet. That means I've started exploring the baby aisle of my local grocery store. It was absolutely overwhelming. Believe it or not, I walked away with more questions than answers. Have you visited the baby aisle in your grocery store…

Radio Towers

Boy Wonder has shown me so many big emotions on his tiny face. I've seen him at his happiest, his loudest, silliest, crankiest, and even his hungriest. That last one is my favorite because at each and every feeding he makes this gasping sound, like a man drinking water for the first time after emerging from the desert. I swear we feed him regularly. But for my kid, each time sounds like the first…

Baby’s First Road Trip

theincredidad April 8, 2018 3 Comments
It all started with a text from my Aunt. We just booked our Vegas trip. That was all the motivation I needed to plan out our first road trip with the baby. I was so excited that I didn't bother asking Bex if she wanted to go. I told her we were going. Luckily, I have the most flexible wife in the world. I also had the perfect plan to convince her. This wasn't just Luke's first road trip, it was…

Day Care Dilemma

theincredidad March 21, 2018 8 Comments
At first it was a simple plan. Bex would work mornings. I'd work nights. We'd trade the baby off in the parking lot. I guess you can call it a perk of us working at the same company. What could possibly go wrong? To be honest, not much. Our day usually starts around four-thirty. When Bex gets up to go to work, Luke usually wakes up with her. After four hours of sleep, you'd think it would be…

The Duchess Of Nausea – a guest post by Bex

Nothing could have prepared me for the shock of finding out I was pregnant. I mean, there were signs but I was too busy working a full time job and planning the wedding of my dreams to notice them. At first, it felt more like the flu. Then one morning, as I was getting ready for work, I knew something was different about my body. No there was no baby bump staring back at me in the mirror, at…

Food For Thought

theincredidad January 16, 2018 2 Comments
Of all the things I could pass on to my son, over eating was not high on the list. I admit it. I constantly have a bad case of the Munchies. I could eat lunch and twenty minutes later I'll be foraging through the kitchen for a snack. As it turns out, Luke's not much better. I got a text message from Bex while I was at work. She was complaining that all Luke wanted to do was eat. Yup, no…

Spittle’s On The Other Shirt

theincredidad January 11, 2018 2 Comments
For people without kids, parenting is weird. When I didn't have a kid, I didn't get it either. I didn't know the joy of setting the little one down for a thirty minute (or second) nap. I didn't rejoice in a quiet trip to the grocery store. I never felt like people were constantly watching me either. Recently, I offered to watch Luke while Bex went out to have some time to herself. I've heard…

A Critical Analysis Of Children’s Literature

theincredidad January 4, 2018 1 Comments
The other day, I mentioned that I like to spice up whatever story du jour that I'm reading to Luke. It's not that the stories I read him aren't good, but they aren't spectacular either. Every parent has their favourite kids book too. You'll hear it if I talk about Dr. Seuss. It's not that Seuss is really that great, more like most books written for kids are just that bad. I've composed text…
