Well, as I type this, our little guy is officially twelve days old. Yes, time flies, but it’s also been one of the weirdest twelve days I’ve ever had. All kinds of changes have occurred with parenthood. For starters, we’ve probably had more (different) visitors in 12 days at our […]

We Recommend: Third Day, “Southern Tracks”
As Third Day gets ready to release a new album next week (titled Move — we recommend it as well!), it’s tough not to look back over what the band has created since their 1996 debut. But in 1999, the band released a more rootsy album titled Time, leaving behind a lot of […]
“Flashback: Off to the Hospital (AKA Welcome to the World, William)” by John DiBiase
As we adjust to having a cranky, insatiable miniature person in our home, I though I’d revisit last week’s events that led up to Will’s big entrance. This is the untold story. Last Thursday night, Sept. 30, Amy had been struggling with more intense contractions than usual and decided to […]
“The Homecoming” by John DiBiase
Good things come to those who wait. Despite one of Amy’s greatest fears about birth being that Will might have to be in the NICU if he was born early, he still had to do some time in the NICU when he arrived close to his expected date. (And she’d […]
“Newborn Dreams” by John DiBiase
Day Three: Will’s second full day, our third in the hospital. (Check out his arrival blog and the follow-up if you haven’t yet!) I went home on Saturday night after a terrible sleepless night the night before in hopes to get some honest to goodness refreshing sleep. So after sleeping like a rock, I […]
“This is NOT Spinal Tap!” by John DiBiase
As mentioned last night, our darling little guy, Will, was delivered unto the world at just before the stroke of midnight on October 1st. Among the clamor of nurses and doctor trying to prep Will for life on this great big screwy planetary rock, were murmurs about Will’s breathing condition. […]
“Birth Day! He’s Here!” by John DiBiase
Well, folks the day has come… William “Will” Peter DiBiase has made his grand debut! At 11:59pm on October 1st, 2010, the little tyke arrived! Momma and baby are doing really well. Amy pushed him out in just slightly over a half hour of pushing! She amazed all the docs […]
“Waiting for ‘Labor Day'” by John DiBiase
So, it’s been awhile since I’ve last posted, but in all honesty, there hasn’t been a whole lot to write about…. except maybe that doctors are full of beans. For the past several weeks now, we’ve been waiting expectantly for any day for Amy to experience major contractions, for me […]
“The Practices of the Sentimentally Insane” by John DiBiase
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 […]
