Oh yeah it's wild. Gotta be at the right time at the right place. We were very close to a record deal a few times but it fell through. Still, we got to release a single on Atlantic records and toured the UK and US so that was pretty cool. Didn't make much money but also didn't lose any either

It's an incredible time for UT athletics right now (outside of football lol). Rick Barnes is on a recruiting tear, and the next few seasons will be at worst fun and at best potentially historic. Tony Vitello has built a titanic of a program on the diamond in just 4 short years with the actual "talent" still on its way to campus. We're winning natty's in Men's Doubles Tennis. Softball had an okay year. Lady Vol basketball seems to be on a solid trajectory as well.

Maybe the 2020's really will be the "Decade of the Vols". The good lord knows our fanbase deserves it after 2000-2020.

We were in our early 20s when we had our first. We got in the habit of holding her until she fell asleep and then putting her in the crib. She started waking up and we would hold her until she fell asleep again. Then it turned into us basically holding her all night so she would sleep. Every couple hours we would trade off holding her and getting a little sleep ourselves. It didn't help that she never got the hang of breastfeeding and so my wife would pump and I would feed the baby from a bottle. This went on for about 6 months and my boss at work telling me they were worried about how tired I looked all the time forced our hands. So one night we resolved that we were going to break her of this habit. We laid her in her crib and went to the living room and just sat on the couch and held hands. Two tired stupid kids who didn't know squat about babies. She cried for over 2 hours... nonstop. Every now and then one of our resolves would weaken and we would try to get up to go get her but the other one would reassure them that it was for the best. When she finally went to sleep we tip toed to our bed and passed out until she woke up needing to be changed and eat a few hours later. The next night it was about 1.5 hours of crying and each night was a little less and a little less. Finally she would go to sleep with little or no fuss at all. I look back on that and smile now but it was hell when we were in it. 😆

Our pediatrician told us that parents should not be “cry-stoppers“. Our kids could sleep through a very loud house party. And still can!!

Just wing it. It’s hard. Lol! Every baby is different. It goes fast though! Always power nap when you can. Don’t try to be perfect. You won’t ruin him/her. Give yourself ton of grace. Place a disposable cloth behind baby in the car seat for the inevitable vertical diarrhea fountain that runs up their back. Keeps the seat clean and you can just throw the cloth sway. So. Much. Poop.

There’s truth here. From a dad perspective my favorite ages were 2-5. Innocent, goofy, funny, active, and just an all around blast to be around.

It’s very hard for dads to bond with an infant. Especially one that breastfeeds. I bonded more with the one that couldn’t and I had to bottle feed
