About Me

I'm a 33-year-old father and husband born and bred in Massachusetts. I have a beautiful son named Will, a gorgeous wife named MJ who is far too hot to have married me, a dog I love and two cats I put up with. I'm a smart-ass former newspaper reporter with a penchant for turning a phrase, who decided to go corporate and is now enjoying life as a content manager for a website.

This blog is not just another "daddy blog." Sure I write about my son, but these pages are a record of my life. I don't just highlight the fun milestones like first steps, I also chronicle the "other stuff." The fights, the torment and the doubt that inevitably come with being a husband and father. It's not always puppy dogs and rainbows, but it is very real. And often there is beauty in the sadness, redemption in the struggle.

Thank you for checking me out, giving me a try and sticking around for the journey. If you'd like to contact me you can email aaron_gouveia (at) yahoo (dot) com.

Attention Cape Dads

This post also appeared on www.capecodonline.com/blogs in the opinion section of the Cape Cod Times, a division of Ottaway Newspapers, Inc.

For anyone who’s interested, there is a “Dad & Baby” group meeting tonight and it’s a pretty good time.

It’s held at Cape Cod Hospital in Hyannis and all the dads are encouraged to bring their kids (14 months and younger) to the Lorusso Boardroom from 6 to 8 pm to meet up and talk with other dads. There is also free pizza.

Now granted, I myself was a little skeptical at the thought of going into a room with a bunch of dudes and their babies and talking about feelings. But it’s not really like that. It’s just a bunch of normal, everyday guys getting together and comparing stories. Complain about your wife, rave about your kid, talk about the best and worst things about being a Dad. I tell ya, as someone who doesn’t have a lot of friends who live close by, it was nice to be around people in the same situation.

So pass the word on and feel free to stop by.
