At a recent visit of my parents’ house, I grabbed three boxes of “forgotten” items from my old bedroom closet (which is now my mother’s office) and decided to take them home and go through them. Of course, it’s not that I NEED more stuff at my house or have […]

“The Final Countdown” by John DiBiase
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. Goodness gracious! It’s so weird how self-taught parenthood is. It’s so crazy. Even with our first and second, it’s […]
“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 […]
