As my wife lies in bed, time has flown by. When I heard other folks in labor for 10 to 12 hours, I thought that was a lifetime. In actuality, it is all a blur and you never really understand until you experience it yourself. From getting my wife checked in, to the IV’s being put into her arm, to the epidural in her back, to the countless rounds of contractions, she has been through hell and back and still hasn’t faced the biggest challenge yet, pushing the baby out. There were times I felt completely helpless and needed to get a grip because I couldn’t do much to ease her discomfort. All the while, I’m wondering about the new life that is about to breathe its first breath. Will I be a good father?
Stay Inspired!

You can’t just leave it at that! When is the birth? All the best.
Baby boy popped out Tuesday early evening. Sorry for the suspense. Trying to push out a post soon. Excuse the pun!
You’ll be a great father Buck, instinct will kick in before you know it.
Hope everything goes well with your wife.
All the best!
Thanks BTI! Instincts working on overdrive right about now!
Buck, I’ve been through these moments of excitement; believe me, you will be an amazing father. You will cherish so many memories with the newborn. Never let anything steal those moments from you ever!
Thanks Shilpan! I appreciate your kind words and heed your advice!
The simple fact that you are wondering if you are a good father indicates that you will be a great father because you will always be striving towards greatness.
Thanks SRT! You are spot on because I will continue to strive even more than ever!
I’m sure you will be!
Thanks Jackie!
You’re going to be a great Dad.
Thanks Hunter. Hope to follow your footsteps!
Let me know if I can answer any questions. Enjoy your brand new baby!
Thanks Joe! Will definitely reach out if I need help. You seem to really be enjoying yourself!
That’s a great piece of stuff mate. You’re trying your best to comfort your her. I think that’s enough. It’ll make her feel better. Best of luck to your upcoming baby. I wish you’ll be a great father. Be ready to receive the baby “with arms wide open”.
Congratulations. There end up being a lot of blurry moments, but many clear ones as well.
Thanks CFM! I still don’t know how you handle six little ones!
I’m sure, you are already good father. How is your son now?
Thanks Alex! He’s quite needy right now. Hopefully he grows out of it. Doing the best I can!
Still have sleep deprivation? How you cope with it?
A little. How? Many short naps!
