Here I am nearly 7 weeks into fatherhood and it all feels like a blur.
There have been baby smiles, fussy nights, spit up and snuggles. Work has been twice as busy and I’ve had half the energy. School is in the final stretch and I am having to do my most intense thinking at times when I feel I’ve lost my mind. My wife and I miss each other but we love the time we have. There have been ups and downs, days I feel like I can’t make it and many more days when I feel like I could never have it any other way.
I love my family. Everything has changed this year… All for the better. I’m holding Dakota as I speak and it’s amazing. I’m pushed to my brink often but my brink is expanding. I’m excited for what the future holds.
From this time last year, things couldn’t be any more different.
Or better.
