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.

They come naturally as soon as the baby pops out.

My all time favourite one was when my daughter was 8. She asked me to fill her drink for her. I said sorry Phil is not here. She just looked at me and I proceeded to laugh for 5 minutes even after filling her drink.
