Thoughts on Being A Dad.


Well Zane is 3 weeks old today. I can't believe how much he has grown and changed. He has gone from being this little baby to looking like a little person. As fast as he is changing Maya and I are changing as well. Its amazing what having a child can do in your life. I remember not really sure how I was going to feel when we first saw him but after I did it was instant unconditional love. I would do anything for him and I had only been with him a few minutes. It is so cool how that happens. These first few weeks have been full of alot of learning experiences which I'm for certain never really stop. I was so nevervous about the whole diaper thing but in just a few short weeks I have overcome my fear and now its cake. Maya and I have also learned how to function on very little sleep. I'm really not sure how the body adjusts to it but it just does. I now also understand why my dad was always taking naps. It definitely makes sense now. We have learned that even if Zane is absolutely screaming that if you turn on the water faucet he will stop screaming and just listen. It is so funny. I have also started to feed Zane which is great in so many levels. For one it gives Maya a break for a little bit and second I get to start and have bonding time. Zane is a really bad burper so that is always a process when its time to do that. One of my many favorite things is when Zane falls asleep in my arms all curled up and his neck is pretty much limp. He has this funny snort he does when he is getting upset. I could go on forever.

This fatherhood thing is the coolest thing ever. I also love seeing my dad being a grandpa. It just reminds me of all the great times I had with him.

Zane you are amazing in so many ways and I will always be here for you no matter what.

Thanks to everyone for their support and suggestions.

Cheers.
