T-Plus a Few Weeks

 

So, the last post was one day before Danielle went into labour and two days before Danielle gave birth to our son Benjamin, whom you can see above. So I'm officially a dad, a father, which is pretty crazy. It's a lot of fun though, like nothing I've ever done before and it changes you just like that.

I mean the 9 months leading up to the birth do a pretty good job at altering your life, but it's nothing like that first day when you bring the little guy home. Or those weeks after when you walk around with sore arms, sore legs, and bags under your eyes. Or the first time he smiles, or coos, or turns his head to look at you when you talk. Nothing I've ever done before has prepared me for that, and I'm the better for it.
