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

theincredidad January 25, 2018 0 Comments
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…

Three Things I Should Stop Doing, Now That I’m A Dad

theincredidad January 2, 2018 0 Comments
Bad habbits. Everyone has them. Few people own up to them. Believe it or not, I even have a few of my own. My grannie grannie used to tell me that I'd argue with Jesus. I would always disagree with her, crying "No I wouldn't.". Thus proving her point. I have also been known to pass gas in the supermarket and blame it on the nearest kid. Really, he had it coming. He was staring me down for the…

From Rut to What Did I do?

theincredidad January 1, 2018 0 Comments
Back in 2016, I found myself in a rut, wondering when life was going to get going again. At the ripe old age of 28, I was washed up, hit my peak, no where to go. I found myself in the middle of a quarter-life crisis, wondering what I had to show for it. My day was routine. Get up. Go to work. Come home. Eat. Sleep. Do it all over again. I knew I needed to make a change. Something had to happen…

Shots

theincredidad December 29, 2017 2 Comments
Today was Luke's two month check-up, which meant he was due for his first shots. We knew it was coming. We knew it had to be done. We knew it was unavoidable unless we wanted to be known as "those parents", the ones who don't vaccinate their kids. I am not here to pass any judgement. Get the vaccine. Don't get the vaccine. There is so much contradictory medical advice out there that it can make…

And To All A Goodnight

Reading Clement C. Moore's Christmas Classic "'Twas The Night Before Christmas" on Christmas Eve is a tradition my parents started when I was a baby and now I am proud to pass it down to Luke. From the Gaygen Family to yours, we wish you all a very merry Christmas! Watch us read to Luke here!
