    First week of fatherhood has been crazy. I’m finally processing the labor. My wife did great; our baby is healthy; I helped as best as I could.

    I’ve changed at least 20 diapers now. cool-dad

      Congratulations! I'm glad everything went well! I hope your wife has a speedy recovery. This is definitely the most challenging phases, both physically and mentally. Remember, you're doing great, and you'll continue to be great. Try not to compare yourselves or your baby to anyone else, be your own measuring stick. Don't fret using bottles or formula either. It can be a major stressor, but a fed baby is a happy baby, no matter what. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise.

      Enjoy whatever time you have with your growing family! I'm so excited for you!

        Thanks, comdad. I actually haven’t been keeping good perspective today. So, this is a good reminder—it’s well taken wisdom.
