One man's experience of becoming a father for the first time. Baby due 27/02/17 and arrived 28/02/17.

You put yourself under is all for her and the new one. Those 10 minutes cuddling your sleeping daughter because SHE needs YOU are enough to make you forget about all the worries, and focus on the most important things in life.

The stress of the last few days while we try to juggle a toddler, moving house and changing job has been ridiculous. When little bear woke up sobbing through a coughing fit in her sleep, I had to have a cuddle to settle her. But then you realise every stress and strain

Told all our friends and colleagues yesterday about our impending arrival. It feels so good to be able to share our joy, but most people have asked "do you know what you've let yourself in for?" 😱😱😱😱😱

@hopingforaboy That day came for me a long time ago my friend. My sympathies to your and your youth!!!

After signing I love mummy and Naya. Naya pointed at me and audiably said "I like daddy".Nice to feel loved. #daddyslittlegirl #dadlife #ukpbloggers

@hopingforaboy While I've been without my parents this year at Christmas, their extent of baby sitting in nearly two years has been a maximum of four hours of which they've been asleep for at least 3 and a half. Yet the proudly proclaimed they're baby sitters! 🤦‍♂️

When your toddler decides to headbutt your nose with her teeth. Think I'm gonna require a tetanus jab #dadlife #toddlerabuse #itreallyfuckinghurts

In the run up to Christmas we have just found out that we are expecting our next child/children in August next year. Increadible early Christmas Present. #nextdad #preggers #pbloggers

So my little one is now 10 months old. Yesterday I was with my brothers family and I still manage to call my daughter by my niece's name. #DadLife #onlydad

[It's A Girl!!! @waiting_dad]

Merry Christmas to everyone enjoying their first Christmas with a little one. Ours is loaded with the cold, conjunctivitis and teething but had a lovely day with her today

Someone was grumpy today, her first tooth erupted. #dadlife #teething #cutiepie

Pre bed time dump followed by free peeing during nappy change. I love my life and my daughter #dadlife #babygirl

Things my daughter does that amazes me. Putting her knees in her armpits. #littlebear #newdad

[It's A Girl!!! @waiting_dad]

Naya in bed early. BBQ on, beer in hand and champions league final tonight. #newdad #weekendwins

[It's A Girl!!! @waiting_dad]

Little bear is #2months old today. Can't believe how quickly the time has flown. Still expecting to have to hand her back at some point.

[It's A Girl!!! @waiting_dad]

Only as a new parent can you show enthusiasm for a massive #poonami that has just desecrated your baby daughter's nappy #NewDad #babygirl

[It's A Girl!!! @waiting_dad]

The feeling of guilt knowing you've caused your daughter albeit small harm is incredible. It was a completely different cry to any before.
