About Me

Babble.com's Top 50 Dad Blogs of 2011!I'm a 32-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.

Look Out Ladies

First of all, thanks to everyone who sent well wishes our way. I’m happy to report after being hooked up to an IV for several hours, MJ is doing a million times better today. We still don’t know what exactly was wrong, but her Cat scan came back normal (as normal as the female mind can look, I guess) and she’s resting comfortably today. I passed on all of your notes, emails and messages and they are much appreciated.

But on a happier note, I want to show you all some Christmas pictures of Will. All I can say is he’s going to do much better in the girl department than his old man. Check it out:

The hat is my favorite part
