On May 28th, 2016, at 2:55 PM, my first son was born. The birth of my son surpasses all beauty that I have seen in this world. The sight of his eyes looking at me, the sound of his first cry, the touch of his hand as it wraps around my fingers, and the overwhelming emotional rush all create for an experience that is unexplainable. He has many of my characteristics and nothing can describe the feeling of seeing yourself in one of your own. For many months my wife and I prayed for a healthy baby. Needless to say our prayers were answered.
It as now been a week since his birthday. Our days consist of holding him, feeding him, and changing his diapers while trying to find time to complete our own responsibilities. Before he was born people always told us, enjoy your sleep now because once baby is here you will not get too much. We have learned that to be true. However, it has not been anything we can not handle. We go to sleep around 9 PM and by 1 AM he wakes up so we change his diaper and then my wife feeds him. Around 5 AM we are up again doing the same routine. Other than that he is a pretty chill baby. He loves to be held so we hold him as much as we can. Its the little things that really get me about him. For example, his little sneezes or yawns just make my heart happy. I do my best enjoy every moment with the little guy because he will grow up so fast. Every time I look at him, I am amazed by his beauty and think how thankful I am to be Dane's father. I never knew I could love something so much.
