Fatherhood

in #blog5 years ago (edited)

Guess who's pregnant? Well, not me of course, since I'm male. But, my partner is pregnant! That's right, I'm going to be a father! Wo0ot!

This is a pretty big event in life which brings about great change in one's life. I've wanted a child for a long time, and now it's happening. I'm happy to become a father :)

That's not to say being a father or parent is without its trials and tribulations. I know there will be difficult times. Being a parent is a long job, a constant job, and probably one of the hardest jobs there is. It's very demanding. Things are going to change in my life. But I'm ready and willing to take it on.

We found out last month, so it's at about 2 months now. The expected due date is at the end of January 2020. Then the family will depend on me for a year to work and pay for things. Saving up for a future home is going to dry up, but I should still be able to save some each paycheck ;)

Have a great weekend all! Peace!

That is HUGE news... Starting now your life will never be the same again.
There will be days you question the pay offs.
Mostly though, you will be entering one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences most people have.

Congratulations! :)

Indeed, but a very welcome challenge :) Thanks!

Congratulations @krnel!
As a parent of one daughter of almost 12 years old i can tell you that what you are going to experience it will change you life and the way you are seeing it forever.. it did change my life in a better in so many ways....
Just enjoy the felling and thanks a lot for sharing with us this Awesome news!

Thanks, lol, my partner says it's a girl, but we'll see ;)

Congrats. It'll be tough but as long as you and your partner talks, there's nothing that can't be done. I have 2 boys, one is turning 3 this Aug and younger one is 3 mo old. For me that's the greatest gift a couple can ever have. Good luck and belated happy father's day.

Hehe thanks! It's a great gift indeed ;)

Congrats!!

You life will definitely change and while being a parent is a challenge itself, isn't it one of the most beautiful feelings someone could experience?

I wish all the best to both of you and may things roll smoothly until she delivers

Yes it is ;) Thanks!

@krnel - I have six kiddos, each wonderfully unique. You are about to embark on a wonderful adventure - one that will challenge you and bring you joy.

I always recommend that you focus on your partner first. When a child see stability in the relationship of the parents, that child knows he/she is loved as well.

Sending good thoughts your way!

Yup, the parents are the ground that the child grows on ;)

Congratulations to the 3 of you ♥️

You will make a great father!

I can hear you saying to your son what my dad always said to me, "Follow principles not people!", always "Question Authority", "Be yourself", and "Love Unconditionally"!!!

Absolutely congrats to you! I'm sure you'll be a great father to your child! I wish you the best and I expect your child to be a crypto God by the time they are your age. Lol

Stay strong, if you thought you were stressed now, just wait. Lol

Haha, yes, more stress on the way ;)

Wonderful news! Very happy for you! And don't worry about the responsibilities - a child sleeping peacefully is enough to make you forget all the worries!
