Dads Like Me!
About Warrick
Hey there, I'm Warrick, a 36-year-old dad, and this is my thrilling adventure into fatherhood. It's not just my story; it's an open invitation for all the dads out there to join me on this emotional rollercoaster, from the early shock, to the pure joy of fatherhood.
The Unforgettable Wake-Up Call:
Imagine being woken up at 3 am by your wife with news that will change your world forever – we were expecting a baby! The excitement was surreal, though a bit hazy at that early hour of the morning. Little did we know, it was just the beginning of a journey with unexpected twists and turns.
Navigating Challenges and Finding Joy:
Amidst the excitement, we faced many challenges and uncertainties, leading to many anxious and fearful moments. Yet, the journey took a poignant turn though our anxiety and fear, before transforming into absolute elation – the official confirmation that our baby was going to be healthy, and finally - we were going to be parents!
From Realization to Thriving:
The journey became undeniably real when my wife had to have an emergency C-section. Once I saw my baby son, my real purpose in life started. I thought, this is our baby and I will do anything to proctect him, and love him beyond measure.
My son was five weeks premature and was in NICU, and then in High Care for a total of 10 days. Once we were told we could take him home, the stress and responsibility hit hard, marking the start of heart palpitations and the awe of being responsible for another life.
Navigating the first year was a rollercoaster of highs and lows, but I not only survived, I thrived. Now, I want to share my experiences, not as an expert, but as a fellow dad offering insights on surviving and thriving through fatherhood.
Join Me in the Adventure:
This blog is an open book of my highs, lows, and messy in-betweens. Join me as I share insights, tips, and the occasional dad joke. While I don't have all the answers, I believe together, we can make this journey more enjoyable. So, whether you're a new dad, soon-to-be dad, or just curious about the rollercoaster ride of fatherhood, I invite you to join me on this exciting journey.
Cheers to fatherhood,
Warrick
