We did Taking Cara Babies method, which is essentially Ferber, at 5 months and it was AMAZING. She cried for like 45 mins the first night, and never made a peep again. She sleeps now from 7p to 730a. There are times where she will wake up and cry, but it's really rare, and she will go back to sleep within 5-10 mins typically.
Can't wait for the 5 month mark this time!
We are going to sleep train the baby in the guest room, but once she is comfortable sleeping through the night we will have both kids sharing a room. That should be interesting.
Today was the older one's first day in a new school, and she graduated up from the infant room. They have them sleeping on little cots, whereas she has only slept in a full crib or pack and play before, I am interested to see tomorrow how they say she did. I can't imagine trying to keep 12 two-year olds in their bed for 2 hours for a nap.

Mother in law wanted to spend the day with her granddaughter so now we get to daydrink by the pool at a touristy hotel. Happy Mother’s Day board, the vibes are on point.

Results of the genetic test came back and everything is a-ok on that front. Also, we found out that we will be having a little girl. That's what my wife was really hoping for, so I'm very happy about it. Name is picked out and everything.

Having a girl is awesome. It's cool that it's more widely acceptable to share all your dude stuff these days, but you also get to indulge on all the cute stuff you thought was stupid when you were young and insufferable. Although maybe that was just me.

We got the NIPT back yesterday and it's also a girl. I didn't have a strong preference, but I have three younger brothers so a girl is going to be nice. My brother and his wife are having a girl in June so it's cool she'll have a friend as well.

It's already common knowledge in my house that I'm going to be a pushover with her when she's older. I'm equal parts excited and terrified to be raising a girl as I know that most of the world is actively hostile towards them. It's going to be interesting.

Yeah, November 6th here. For sure it's a lot to come to terms with, particularly with recent news. The due date seems like a long time away, but the fact that in 26 weeks I'm going to be responsible for another person for the next 18+ years is still kind of crazy. Fortunately she'll have good role models in my wife and the women in our families.

We tried Taking Cara Babies and it didn’t work because we didn’t realize our little dude had a few food allergies and we though it was just colic. I remember trying the cries method and it not working because he was just super uncomfortable and couldn’t sleep due to his discomfort. Man those days were awful for all of us

God those first couple weeks are a roller coaster. Straight up survival mode. The only way ours could sleep for a while was by bouncing her on a yoga ball so I'd put her in one of those wraps and play Apex Legends while bouncing on that shit for like half the day.

Ugh a little girl about my stepkid’s age wen't missing and was found dead in a park near where we live and my anxiety is cranked to 11 right now. Most of his friends live walking distance and she disappeared right down the street from us.

I used to shrug off how dangerous my city could be, but I take it way more into o-count now that I have a little one. Hopefully the perp meets due justice

My wife wants to go to sound and fury, but im in now way thrilled about leaving my kid with her parents.
My father in law will literally let him run around by himself while he gets shit faced or just straight up hand him off to family members I've never met.
I'd rather just say no, but I can tell my wife wants to go on a short vacation/trip

Our September 1 due date is fast approaching. Not gonna lie the anxiety is definitely ramping up a bit. Excited as fuck to see the little dude soon but I feel like the life adjustment reality is really starting to set in. Luckily every other dad I've talked to seems to go through the same shit.

Hope the Board dads had a good Father’s Day. My wife works overnights so she got me and my daughter breakfast and then wen't to bed. I dropped her off at my parents and then wen't to Costco, mowed the lawn and put in a new spigot outside. Being a dad rules. Just finished taking a walk with my daughter. 8pm bed time for both of us approaching soon.

Happy Father's Day y'all.
My daughter wen't to her mom's for the summer about a week ago. For as long as her school schedule is set this way, she's always gonna leave the week before so that's a bummer. Got a toddler at home and another on the way though so plenty of fathering to do.
I had to work today (and I got my ass kicked) but I got wife to order me a soup AND a stir fry from the noodle spot nearby and I'll probably order some new skateboard trucks or something tonight idk.

I’m late but Happy Father’s Day to the daddies. My dad was only the most vital force in my life. Keep on daddying hard.

At least once a day I look at my son toddling around and am just struck by the sheer uncanniness of having fathered another human.
I decided the other day I'm going to write him a book and gift it to him on his eighteenth birthday.

I feel that. Every day at some point I look at him and feel that way. I was at least 90% sure I didn’t want to have kids and I’m so over the moon obsessed with him I can’t imagine my life any other way.

Kindergarten orientation was the other day and I took the social butterfly and we walked in and there were name tags and pens on the table so I wrote 1 for me and 1 for him and then we put them on our shirts. THEN HE LEAVES ME TO SIT WITH ANOTHER FAMILY HE DIDN’T KNOW. And so I was the only parent sitting alone and I pretty quickly figured out only the kids have name tags so not only was I alone but I was wearing a name tag I shouldn’t have. Can’t wait for first grade.
