Updates on my personal day to day life
Life Update: And Then There Were Four
Well of course, once I decide to recommit myself to writing and posting again with regularity, life throws a curveball. Good news! The baby is here. Crazy news: he came way earlier than anyone anticipated. He only made it to 32 weeks before he decided it was time to join the party. I might get [...]
It’s a Boy
I am still trying to wrap my head around this. Baby #2 is a boy. Holy shit. I don't know why but never I never expected to have a son. Never. Not ever. "Oh you're a girl dad! Oh you are going to be the best girl dad" was pretty much the only thing I [...]
New Baby, New Anxieties
It is absolutely WILD the difference already having a child makes in the way that I feel about our family being pregnant again. There's way less fear this time around. I know what to expect, I know that I can handle from now until the child is 18 months old at least because I've already done that once. Past this point is yet to be determined but I think all signs are pointing to success (we had Jo's 18 month appointment yesterday and it was all good feedback so I'm riding that high at the moment). Getting the news was much more excitement and much less fear than the first time around. This time two years ago I don't think I went more than an hour without having a minor mental panic attack about the fact that I was about to be a dad for the first time. I'm already dad now, and I'm enjoying it.
2024 Is The Year
Heyooooo! Another year another attempt at keeping this blog alive. What is the over/under on how many months I am able to maintain posting? Probably 3. God I hope it's more than 3. 2024 is the year. I'm not really sure why I am feeling so confident but for some reason for the first time [...]
Baby Rejection: My Biggest New Dad Challenge
The hardest thing I have had to go through as a new dad, when my daughter decided she didn't want to be held by me for awhile. It led to some fights and some dark thoughts, but it seems to be more common than I thought.
The Death of the Weekend
My realizations and anxieties understanding my changing priorities as a new dad. Especially in regards to my free time and weekends.
Saying Goodbye To Our Spiky Friend
Hello friends, I know it's been awhile since I have posted an update but considering the apocalypse that is 2020 there has been a lot going on so can you really blame me? Unfortunately this post is not going to make things much better. We recently had to say goodbye to our lovely little ball [...]
Hedgehog Update: Habitat Upgrade
Hello again GGR readers! I have gotten a few messages mentioning that it has been awhile since I published a hedgehog update. Really it's been awhile since I have provided any sort of personal update altogether. That is something I am going to work on getting better at this year. I hope to connect more [...]
Introducing Our New Pet, Holly the Hedgehog!
Happy Tuesday friends! The GGR family officially has a new mascot; our new Pinto hedgehog Holly. She is 3 months old, and is way more fun than I would have imagined a tiny little bush-bacon could be. I decided to get her as a kind of pick me up after Harvey and so far that [...]
