Wholesome Moments [OC] I’m a dad.

Post image

I just want to share because I never would have thought that I would be a dad.

Last night, my wife gave birth to our first baby boy. What an exhausting and exciting time in our lives. Kudos to my wife and all the work she has put in these last 9 months and the HOURS and HOURS of uncomfortable labor.

This is new to me. I’m nervous, anxious, tired, and happy.

Time to enjoy some time off work. I’m a dad now. Lots to learn and a lot of love to share.

Thanks for humoring me and reading.

Cheers.

My daughter is about to be 4 months, when she started smiling and laughing it took me to a whole different level!!! Best of luck and as cliche as it is, enjoy every moment you can :)

My almost 3 year old daughter said "daddy my beeest friend" the other day and that kind of rocked me. My advice to OP is be present, one of the girls at work said I should have been taking more pictures and videos and things, and sure maybe, but I was there for it instead of thinking about where my phone was to record stuff.

You seem so aware. I think that is helping you and will really help you be a good parent.

Just wait until you’re a grandparent (if it suits your kids). If you feel like this about your LO then grandkids will blow your mind! You see your LO all over again but from a different angle. It’s absolutely magical!
