Take us through your thoughts the moment you realized your child was ready to come into this world.

It was the best feeling ever. To look upon my baby girl and see the same spitting image was breath taking. I’ve fell in love at first sight. Being a dad was the best thing that could ever happen too me.

What were your physical, mental, and emotional feelings while in the delivery room as your child was entering the world.

I was nervous and scared. Mostly because I thought I wasn’t ready to be a father. But once she was in my presence all that nervous energy went away and I knew I had to step up for my baby girl.

Describe what it felt like holding your child for the first time?

No words can explain it. It was like seeing me as a female for the first time lol amazing feeling that she is here now

Do you have any advice for fathers who are expecting for the first time?

Yeah just be there. Even if you can’t support doing anything else. As long as your there that’s all that matters
