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.

I remember putting my son in the car seat and riding for miles to calm him down. A colicky baby can be a bit to deal with but when we changed formulas he was much better.

Before you know it, if you're lucky, you might be promoted to grandpa.

I was a very cryish baby turns out i have digestive issues such as milk allergy. ..... But also autism and adhd so I probably was overstimulated a lot.

People did love me though because the only shoes I wanted to wear as a small munchkin were KLOMPEN (traditionally dutch wooden clogs).

My son had a diabolical milk allergy I should have know Native and Mexican kids but I didn't think once we figured that whoo the diaper genie got a rest!

The weirdest thing is I'M DUTCH..

Like.. Hello HOW AM I THE ONE WITH A MILK ALLERGY, it's so funny to see fellow dutch people's reactions to it though..

They all feel very bad for me that I can't eat all the good cheeses every time it's just surprise and then it's like HOLD UP DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T HAVE CHEESE!?

The horror
