Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of taking part in the conspiracy that was a surprise baby shower for my wife, Amy – marking shower #3 (the first was in Nashville with our friends there and the second was with my family in NJ since my grandmother can’t travel […]

“Boys and Baseball” by John Clore
As I write this, my little Harvey is sitting in the living room behind me watching The Wiggles. I personally cannot stand that show, but I love that he loves it. Two of his teddy bears are watching with him: one with a University of Kentucky (my wife’s Alma Mater) sweatshirt, […]
“Cribs and Hospital Beds” by John DiBiase
The world of the pregnant woman is an ever-interesting world to be a part of. This past week, my parents had plans to come over and assist in assembling a brand new crib for our forthcoming bouncing baby boy. They arrived on time that evening, pizza in hand, about half […]
“The Boarding of the U14JFH” by John DiBiase
I know I’m not big on change. It’s obvious and I realize it’s something I’ve struggled with since the dawn of my own personal “time.” As we get closer and closer (and closer and closer) to pending parenthood — Amy may pop in about a month, actually — preparations are […]
Sanctus Real Gives Advice on Parenting
John DiBiase: Any advice for new fathers? Pete Provost: You gotta tell me! I can’t answer that one yet. Dan Gartley: Me neither. Matt Hammitt: Hold on! Two words. Nah, I’m just kidding.

“Let There Be Wheat!” by Michael Weaver
Well, this is my first post here. I will start by saying that being a parent is a tough thing. It’s rewarding, but there’s a new challenge every day. My daughter, Avery, is 3 years old; a few weeks ago, it seemed she had gotten sick and no matter how […]
“LJF Cribs” by John DiBiase
Today, my wife and I went crib shopping for the little guy with my parents who were eager to help us with the process. We ventured to a local Babies R US first to get a look at our bedding options for the latest DiBiase addition (yes, Indy our guinea […]
“Is Patience Still Waiting?” by John DiBiase
It’s funny to think that a year ago, I never would’ve guessed I’d be where I am today. Amy and I just had another ultrasound on Tuesday. The little guy is doing really well (thank God)! He was covering his little face, so we couldn’t see the 3D ultrasound, but […]
“Diaper Disposal Dilemma” by John DiBiase
So it’s no secret that I’m new to the whole world of baby care… well, from the parental perspective (and, not only do I not remember being a baby, but technology has changed a lot in 30 years). Today, my wife decided it was time to dive into building a baby registry […]
“Sign Us Up for Those Pee-Pee TeePee’s! (AKA Spoiler Alert)” by John DiBiase
Well, May 18th has come and gone, and the long-awaited appointment to find out the gender of the baby has finally been had. Before I proceed, I must give a little backstory: I recently attended a Remedy Drive concert in New Jersey where pastor / author Jarrod Jones happened to […]
