fatherhood week 1 retrospective
Posted by jonathan - 07/03/08 at 12:03:07 pm
One week into fatherhood, its much more than I ever expected. At one of my doctors yesterday, he asked “is it difficult?”. His question caught me by surprise as I have not had any difficulty yet, but only a hard time containing the pleasure I have watching my baby girl and her beautiful mom. The roller coaster of emotion that a much anticipated and proudly celebrated arrival of a poopy-diaper cannot be fully explained to the uninitiated.
This is something I have wanted for a quite some time. When prospective employers asked me where I wanted to be in five years, I never had a good answer for them. My dreams and aspirations have never been oriented toward work, but the intensity of my dreams and pleasure center around my family. I have known for years that I would have a baby girl and that fatherhood would be a time of life that I thoroughly enjoy. I attribute this longing to the strength and dedication of my own father who I continue to grow more fond of for his dedication and sacrifice for me.
It has been great to get away from the daily grind and focus on the family. I could get used to this.
