The first 3 months will be the most chaotic and difficult of them all. Soon afterwards your baby will smile at you for the first time (social smile, not 'I'm farting' smile); after that things will just keep getting better.
Dads
This is a community for Dads. Single Dads, new Dads, Step-Dads, tall Dads, short Dads, and any other kind of Dad. If you've got kids in your life that you love and provide for, come join us as we discuss everything from birth announcements to code browns in the shower.
You can read volumes, you can get as much advice as possible. You can do hundreds of things, but nothing, absolutely nothing will prepare you for the moment you hold that new born human in your arms and realize you helped make it, and you now have a whole lifetime ahead with responsibilities you don't yet understand. With more joy, and more sorrow than you thought it was possible to deal with.
I have three sons and one daughter, and even though the boys are grown and having their own kids, the challenges don't end.
I mostly think I suck at life, but I know beyond any shadow of a doubt that one thing I have not sucked at, is being a dad.
Good luck to you, your significant other shed three new little person you're bringing into existence!
I don't know you and I'm excited for you!
