Take us through your thoughts the moment you realized your child was ready to come into this world.
I’m not going to lie I was scared when I first found out. I think I was actually quiet for like 1 min and right after that I said let’s do it. Even though I had not held an infant in my hand since I was 7 years old, for some reason this felt right.
What were your physical, mental, and emotional feelings while in the delivery room as your child was entering the world.
Going into the delivery room the only on my mind was to keep my girl happy and calm through out the process so my mood was up the whole time even when I was scared I even did things like dance and be a goofball by cracking jokes and so on.
Describe what it felt like holding your child for the first time?
Honestly felt like I was having an outer body experience. It felt like a dream I couldn’t believe she was really here but I was happy and immediately felt overprotective of her.
Do you have any advice for fathers who are expecting for the first time?
I would say the best thing is to enjoy the ride, be strong and also be her rock you are going to see things you never thought you would see lol just be brave my guy, everything will be ok by the grace of God
