1. Being a father is not nearly as weird as I thought it would be. I felt a lot more awkward as a Father to be. It's funny how as new parents we truly don't know our child in any way. It takes time before we see personality in them. There is however a connection we make, inherently, knowing that the child is ours, literally from our own flesh and blood. It must be a natural or divine connection as it doesn't seem like anything I did on purpose.
2. I hate sounding Cliche about everything when I talk to other people about parenting but thats how it goes. I imagine that every father, since time began, has experienced what I am going through to some degree. I have made it a point though, to not let that get to me and when people who genuinely ask about how things are going and how I feel I try and tell them honestly even if I think it sounds silly.
3. She grows at a rate I didn't expect. I didn't realize that babies grow "that" fast. Its incredible. I'm grateful that heavenly father has helped me see the importance of cherishing every moment. Its something I wasn't really able to do particularly well before she was born. I'm glad I took the opportunity to watch her as she was a newborn. Its amazing too.
4. So far, three weeks into it, the thing I hate the most is bath time. She HATES baths and I hate giving them.
Edit: She had her first non sponge bath today and she took it like a champ. If this continues then she'll probably end up a water baby just like her momma.
