First Time Father: August 2012
http://ftfltr.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
I am the father of Emsley Bryn, who was born on July 11, 2012. This will document the slow unraveling of my mind. Monday, August 27, 2012. So this weekend we embarked on our first Great Journey with Emsley. It wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. Kami's grandfather is not doing well - at all. So we needed to go to Duncan, Oklahoma (about an hour south-southwest of Oklahoma City) to visit. Rental Car Lady: "Where are you headed? Rental Car Lady: (Checks my license) "Do you still live in Hermitage? And this i...

First Time Father: September 2012
http://ftfltr.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
I am the father of Emsley Bryn, who was born on July 11, 2012. This will document the slow unraveling of my mind. Friday, September 14, 2012. We used to read a lot. If you were to ask me what my favorite things are, and said "Being a husband" and "Being a dad" were not allowed, I would tell you three things, in no particular order: Watching baseball, listening to music, and reading (Well, there's another thing. But I'm not going to list that one.). Let's look at these in order:. I do this quite a bit....

First Time Father: February 2012

I am the father of Emsley Bryn, who was born on July 11, 2012. This will document the slow unraveling of my mind. Wednesday, February 29, 2012. Do the Washing Machine! 20 weeks. Halfway. One of the things that it has taken me a while to remember is that this whole "9 month pregnancy" is sort of a load of crap. You're (or, more accurately, "she") is pregnant for ten months. That extra month is used to add seasoning. As if she had never heard of the Lost Colony of Kansas. When I started laughing, she g...

First Time Father: July 2013
http://ftfltr.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
I am the father of Emsley Bryn, who was born on July 11, 2012. This will document the slow unraveling of my mind. Sunday, July 7, 2013. Some of my favorites. Kami is a wonderful photographer. So wonderful, in fact, that you should give her money to take pictures for you. Here are a few of my favorite photos from 2013:. Note: I know how shamefully behind I am in the mission of this blog. I'll do better. Maybe. And then Joe Firstman came on at 11pm.and played for two solid hours. We were able to go back to...

First Time Father: May 2012

I am the father of Emsley Bryn, who was born on July 11, 2012. This will document the slow unraveling of my mind. Monday, May 28, 2012. Birthing Classes: Day 2. As we ate dinner following the completion of the class, where I sincerely hope that we will be given priority delivery as a reward, we were discussing the pros/cons of taking said class. The Con list was small, and also petty:. It was on a holiday weekend (which actually made it a little nicer, since we both at least have today off). While she is...

First Time Father: Two month review: The least-helpful things people will say when you're pregnant
http://ftfltr.blogspot.com/2012/09/two-month-review-least-helpful-things.html
I am the father of Emsley Bryn, who was born on July 11, 2012. This will document the slow unraveling of my mind. Monday, September 10, 2012. Two month review: The least-helpful things people will say when you're pregnant. You have no idea the amount of pain you're going to be in". Multiple people actually offered this little nugget. Of course, they were all referring to Kami - you know how many craps people give about how the dad feels? Where they say, "Is that your nostril? But the ends justify the mea...

Note: I know how shamefully behind I am in the mission of this blog. I'll do better. Maybe. Of course the first act didn't come on until 10pm. The second act came on at 10:30pm (everyone does need to check out John Wesley Satterfield. And then Joe Firstman came on at 11pm.and played for two solid hours. We were able to go back to sleep - twice - yesterday, meaning that i...

First Time Father: March 2012
http://ftfltr.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
I am the father of Emsley Bryn, who was born on July 11, 2012. This will document the slow unraveling of my mind. Thursday, March 22, 2012. And tonight, I was emasculated. BY MY WIFE. Well, let's get started with this. Quick aside: I failed the written portion of "Basic Motor Skills" in Driver's Ed six times (perhaps my parents don't know this). I couldn't figure out if the car on the page (or the screen) was my car, or if it was the car in front of me. That's a pretty substantial difference. Of sports&#...

First Time Father: Four month update
http://ftfltr.blogspot.com/2012/11/four-month-update.html
I am the father of Emsley Bryn, who was born on July 11, 2012. This will document the slow unraveling of my mind. Monday, November 12, 2012. Anyhow, while I was at work, Kami was a single mom. I'd leave most days by 7:30am, come back home about 5pm, take Gunther and Angus out, kiss Kami and Emsley, and go back to work for a 7:00pm tour, and get home about 9:30. But enough about me, eh? Emsley was fussy all day, sore from the shots, and tired from waking up super early because DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME IS RID...
