Welcome to the Game!

So becoming a new father is one of the most exhilarating experiences. Ok maybe it's a different experience than catching the game changing touchdown or making the winning free throw. But it's still an experience regardless. I'm a big sports junkie so I make a lot of comparisons to sports because I feel that's just how I communicate most effectively. I now have 2 children with my wife: a 1-year-old boy and a 1-month-old baby girl. It is unbelievable to think of how our life has changed in the past year and a half. I'm talking everything has been flipped around and I never found anything that prepared me for that. 

So this is my gift to all the new dad's. There are millions of books for the women about how they're feeling, what they're experiencing, what the baby is doing, etc. but no one seems to really care about helping dad. I'm going to tell you my experiences and what I've learned so far being a year and a half into this new life. Hopefully, it can prepare you in some small way to understand the enormous change that's coming your way. 

And if you think that your life isn't going to change all that much, I strongly encourage you to be prepared for the blindside blitz. Trust me, the outside backer beat the tackle and is barreling down on you. From the moment your new blessing is born, you will be in an all out scramble. And then when you think it couldn't get more difficult, having a second child back-to-back feels like getting double-teamed in the corner when you just picked up the dribble. But there is relief and that's what this is here for. I'm hoping you find the open man in the corner for a three and can beat your chest about how ridiculously great you are! Anyway, it's nice having you and wish you all the best on this life long journey of fatherhood!
