Starting out...

How did he do it? How did his dad do it? How did any of them figure it out? If you don't know what I'm talking about yet, you will soon. You see, the thing is this. I am about to become a father! My first! I'm excited, I'm nervous, I'm scared.. How am I supposed to take care of a baby? I have no idea. I have seen them before. I know they make a lot of strange sounds and odd smells. I know they are small, helpless, hungry, and need a lot of attention.

You see, it all started about a year and a half ago. I fell in love with this wonderful woman. She fell in love with me. Life happens and then next thing we know, we're going to be parents! I'm just really confused as to how I'm supposed to do it. I am afraid of all kinds of things. Will I be a good dad? Can I support my family while my wife is off work? What about feeding? Babysitters? Grandparents? Holidays? Overwhelmed.. To say the least. More to come...
