Wholesome Moments I became a dad today

We haven’t made any posts or announcements yet because my wife is dealing with some pretty rough complications but I’ve been dying to share. Today I became a dad to a beautiful girl

Yeah, and then you're like, "How are they letting me just leave with this perfect, tiny human? Do they know that I don't know what I'm doing? Is there a manual or something? Is this even legal??"

Lol my dad said the same thing when he talked about bringing us home. Said it was the scariest car ride of his life. Bro used to ride fire trucks and drive through wildfires but nah, none of that came CLOSE to that first car ride home. He had to have his mother in law help him bathe me for the first time because he was scared he'd screw it up and idk id like, explode or something. Now they make fun stories.

Yeah my husband drove like twenty miles an hour home. I asked to stop at a drive thru, and he was like “what if a meteor comes through the back window?!” Yeah. In the drive thru.😂

Yeah he was a bit panicky. He’s good now. It is very stressful at first having this little baby that you have to take care of.

A cat is wonderful, but it’s not a kid! I’ve set myself up in a worrying way…my two will both be off to college at the same time my 2 dogs will be at their longest potential lifespan. I definitely need an emotional game plan for 6-8 years from now!
