I originally started my blog, Time to Keep It Simple, in May of 2013 as a means to simply continue writing without the strictures of keeping to a particular topic or form. Hence, the title that I chose for this new endeavor. The only parameters that I set for myself were that each daily post had to be at least four hundred words in length. Over time, there were subjects that seemed to come up naturally and that I truly enjoyed writing about. Not surprisingly, when my wife and I found out that we were expecting a baby, this became the topic about which I was most passionate about and an experience, as a father expecting his first child, that I wanted to share with everyone. After our son was born, I found myself having conversations with other parents about some of the interesting things that we should anticipate happening during the first year. I had not heard about any of these anecdotes before, so I wanted to start writing more regularly about these usually humorous occurrences. Arranged chronologically, this book is a collection of both those early posts of doctor appointments and preparations for arrival as well as the more interesting moments that I experienced during my first year as a father.
