It has almost been nine months since my dog walked up to me with a something hanging off her tag. “Mommy is having a baby” was written on a sticky note hanging off her tag; mommy peaking around the corner with a smile on her face. I don’t think that I could have been any happier; I am going to be a “Dad!” Wow, has my life already changed and it has been a journey already. What do I need to do to get ready? This has been a question that has haunted me for months now. I have scraped, painted and put together baby furniture; I feel like I have literally lost my mind at points. My motivation for this paper is my son. I am determined to figure out what I need to do in order t0 be a good father to Collin. I imagine that there are questions that I will not be able to answer with research, only experience. I will give it my all though; I will not fail my son. I want to know the following:
1) What should I expect in the first few months?
2) Is there any important things that need to be done to get ready for him?
3) What can I do to help stimulate brain development and growth?
4) What are some tips to survive the sleep deprivation?
Works for me. Try a Background section now--babies and dads you've known, family stories about infancy, you and sleep, and so on.
