As a first-time parent there is a whole series of “firsts” – first time the babe rolls over, his first bottle, first time he crawls, first haircut, first steps, first words, an on and on. And then there’s the first visit to the emergency room, maybe not one of the best ones, maybe not one [...]

This Week On The (Dr.) O’C: The “L” Word
You’ve got to love happy endings. In what could be Dr. O’C’s final post here on A Free Man, we get just that…
At some point my attitude to motherhood started to improve. I don’t know when that happened, but it did. I am a better mum than I thought I would be. For the [...]
This Week on the (Dr.) OC: Nothing’s going to stop me now
Things didn’t get any immediately easier for Dr. O’C after Baby Z was born. On this weeks episode, bringing home baby…
So, I am a parent – a mum. I spend the first couple days at home wondering when I will be relieved of my babysitting duties. But apart from that it is happy family. Timmins, [...]
This Week on the (Dr.) OC: No joy but lacks salt
I know that I’m about as far from objective as I am from my homeland, but this week’s installment of Dr. O’C’s recounting of pregnancy and childbirth struck me to the quick. I’m not one to be quoting poetry, but her post this week made me think of a Robert Frost poem that I must have read [...]

This Week on the (Dr.) OC: In praise of needles
With Dr. O’C returning to the ranks of the employed in a few weeks, this feature is likely short-lived. Maybe if we talk real nice to her she’ll continue – or at least get Baby Z born…

Chris and I had convinced ourselves that the baby was going to be late, so when my [...]
We come from the land of the ice and snow
Dr. O’C is the latest member of A Free Man’s household to crack the job market. After what will be nearly a year in the purgatory of stay-at-home motherhood (she would quite possibly use a different word), Dr. O’C will re-join the ranks of the gainfully employed next month. This is the latest in a string [...]
And then I see a darkness
As you very likely know, Dr. O’C has taken on a chunk of the writing duties here at A Free Man while your underwhelming correspondent is burning the employment candle at both ends. What you may not know is that she’s largely taken over the photography duties as well. Pretty much any photo of Baby [...]

The normally reserved Dr. O’C speaks. This week, pregnancy…
So I am pregnant. Without wanting to be. I spend the next two weeks traveling around the U.S. for work. I get back on a Wednesday, am expected in London for a meeting first thing Thursday, get out of bed, throw up, miss the train, go back to bed and spend [...]
This week, on The (Dr.) OC
For some time now a number of you, have been asking to hear more from the elusive Dr. O’C. She pops into the comment stream now and again with a clever commentary. But, she’s been a bit reluctant to seriously put pen to paper (or fingertip to key), primarily because she’s rankled by my titular [...]
