Week 1 Day 2 ABB: Bringing Balance to Boost Immune System

We had a good night for the home team. The little girl went a little longer between meals and we only had one instead of two early morning feedings. That means longer time asleep for mom and dad. Yay! But we still aren’t getting near the amount we need to keep our immune systems up […]

Week 1 ABB (After Baby Birth): A New Plan

So its been about a week and a half after the birth of my daughter. I have returned back to work and life is returning to, well maybe not returning, but establishing a new normal. Over the past week we have been adjusting to having a newborn around. With countless diaper changes, bottles prepared, and […]

The First Functional Dad Day – Our Birth Story Part 2

While my wife was finishing up in the OR, I followed our daughter into the nursery where she was cleaned up, weighed and measured. She wasn’t 9 lb. but well over 8 and quite long. Even though it was a joy to watch our daughter now out here in the open, my mind still was […]

The First Functional Dad Day Part 1

So now that we have gotten into a routine (for now) with the new addition to the family I wanted to talk about how my workouts and conditioning paid off in ways I had not imagined. 20 Hours of supporting my wife through labor and finally a c-section truly tested my conditioning. Suffice it to […]

Week 1 day 1 at home

Week 40 Day Friday

It’s Friday!!! Yes my Star Wars geekitude shows back up. Its been a long week and this Friday couldn’t come soon enough. Today I wanted to talk about my workout routine.

Week 40 Day 4

Ever had one of those days where drama just seems to find you at work and you can’t get away from it. And as a result you get nothing done. Yeah that was my day. Had to finish up my workout today at home. But nothing a nice piece of home made apply pie can’t […]

Week 40 Day 3

So had to take a picture this morning on my way in to work. A very nice way to start the day. Fall is in the air and the leaves will be turning soon. This is my wife and my favorite time of year. Much like I did earlier this summer I finished up yesterday’s […]
