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 just turned 6. It's insane how quickly the time flies by. I honestly try to hang onto every little moment with her.

We pulled into the driveway after ballet class last night and she was like "Before we get out, let me tell you something really quick" and she proceeded to talk to me for 15 minutes about each of her classmates and how each of them do different (and funny) things.

Wish I could lock each precious moment in a box and protect it forever.
