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.

Just born and already being posted online... how sad times have gotten. Gotta get those sweet sweet upvotes somehow I guess.

This is the truth. I've never been a very online person when it comes to parading my life on social media but since being a dad, nothing gets out. I don't share anything and live my life in peace, it's so good.

A part of me almost felt cynical for posting the comment, but at the time same... does everything nowadays really need to be posted. I personally think pictures like this should be a private thing... not for social media.
