NEXT week, Jacob would have been with
us for a staggering three months and in that time, my haven't things
changed!
I've tried to write this blog a number
of times but got so far and realised there was another aspect to my
life which had changed since I became part of the 'Daddyhood'.
It's been a mind-blowing experience for
me, I have adored every second so far and hope it will continue long
into the future.
The main change is in me, I am now a
lot calmer person, work still infuriates me at times but for some
reason I now can just take a breath and move on.
Importantly whatever has happened at
work I leave it at work and once go through the front door I am a
happy person again.
Sleeping as I have blogged about before
is very interesting but its the tiredness which has struck me more.
Previously I could easily be found
playing Football Manager or watching TV until the early hours then
sleeping and be fine the next day.
Now around 10pm I can feel the
tiredness setting in, the TV goes off as does the laptop and my bed
calls more.
I have always been quite an emotional
person but since becoming a dad a new frontier has opened up,
previously didn't get upset about stories involving kids as didn't
have one.
Now anything involving children and I
can feel the tears and instantly think 'How would I cope?' - Why does
parenting do this to you?
We went to an NCT reunion last Saturday
and I realised all the mums had different experiences to talk about,
natural birth, assisted deliveries and our case c-section.
Yet the dads were exactly the same! How
you coping?, er it's been mental, How you finding being back at
work?
Crap Have you done the really bad nappies? Yup
I will end on the biggest mind blown I
still can't adjust to, Jacob will be a toddler, a little boy, a young
man – I can't picture him as a little toddler running around and
talking yet can't wait at the same time!
