I think that was IT?
I’m not really sure what IT is, but I’m pretty sure IT just happened.
Saturday morning started out as most do when training… really early. I had planned to get up just after 5am, but my wife’s cell phone was blowing up with emergency text messages from her work. She managed to sleep through it at 4:30 – but I guess I was anxious for the morning and woke up and turned the alert off. I sat in bed staring at the ceiling and decided to actually get up before my alarm formaly went off – an anomaly for me.
And when starting out on the actual run, nothing was unusal… in fact I was breathing pretty heavy, so much so I thought about saying something to the ladies I was running with, as I thought I sounded like some weird stalker in a scary movie. Read the rest of this entry

Somewhat lost in all the baby excitement the last two weeks, was the news that I “won” the lottery for the NYC Marathon. On November 2nd, me and 50,000 of my closest friends will be stomping our way through the five boroughs. I am excited. Nervous, but excited. It’s amazing how quickly you can lose what […]

Well we made it. And by we, I really mean Sophie Emma. Entering the world at 9:33pm on March 20th, 2014. Happy, Healthy, and Big! Weighing in at 9lbs 1oz and 21 inches long. Mom, Dad and big brother Matthew couldn’t be happier. It started early that Thursday morning. Although I have a great ability to […]

I was under the assumption that this post would be going a different direction. Or perhaps the name of the post would be the name of our little girl. I had convinced myself that she would be born by now, but that just shows you what I know. My wife let me know last Sunday night (3/9), that our […]

Another week in the books, and an uneventful one at that. These days, that’s a good thing. Anne is now heading to the perinatologist twice a week, along with appointments at her OB and endocrinologist. She is likely seeing more doctors in her free time then when she is working at the hospital. I don’t envy her […]

There are several words that you love to hear when at the doctors office. So when the doc came in and pelted out “perfect” and “great” on Thursday, it made my pulse slow down while sitting in the cramped dark room staring up at the tv monitor. I accompanied Anne on her now weekly visit to the perinatologist and got […]

It’s hard to believe that my wife is 33 weeks pregnant. To put it lightly, it’s been a journey. I find myself at times even taking it for granted. I’ve forgotten about doctors appointments. I’ve forgotten how tough it can be for a woman to carry a child and the massive discomfort it can bring. I’ve even forgotten […]

I’ve been struggling as of late. I feel like I am in a pivotal time period in my life. At 41 years old I was truly hoping I would have a clear direction of what my career would be. But I wake up every morning with no real sense of fulfillment. I am merely going […]

As I started to brush my teeth this morning, I glanced down at my hand while squeezing the tube and noticed there was something missing off my finger… AGAIN. Suddenly I panicked. Not again. She is going to kill me. OK, I ran yesterday in the dark, it was cold… I was sweaty. Did it fall […]
