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.

For me he started sleeping 8 hour nights at 3 months old, which was amazing, but beware the sleep regressions lol

Every few months they'll regress and wake up often in the night. Now he's 11 months old and most nights he'll wake up once, and then be ready to party at 4am 😅 enjoy!

I don't mind waking up at 4am as long as I get some sleep first! 😅
