and welcome. Look, we\u2019ve been there\u2014the cocktail of feelings that comes along with being an expecting dad\u2014excitement, anticipation, fear, uncertainty, maybe even a loss of confidence \u2026 and the similar mix of emotions that happens after your baby is born and you\u2019re a new dad: exhaustion, relief, overwhelm, love, joy, pride, more fear \u2026<\/p><p>We\u2019ve felt all these things. They\u2019re normal, but that doesn\u2019t make them less real, and the roller coaster less stomach-turning. The way to feel more of the good stuff and less of the less-than-fun feelings is by educating yourself. And that is the goal of this blog (and really this whole site).
