Hey all,

We are expecting our first at the end of September, and we are tired and scared and stressed. I have been looking for dad groups locally but haven’t found any. Just reading through a few posts here and I feel less alone. Thank you.

    Congrats on the little one!

    Although, being a having a baby is a beautiful miracle, don’t forget that it is normal to feel stressed, overwhelmed, or underequipped.

    Don’t let anyone make you feel guilty about having those feelings or needing help to survive. Especially those who say it gets easier. It does, but new challenges always come in place of the things that get better.

    I have two kids now, son is close to 3 years and daughter is 6 months, and they are the loves of my life.

    Don’t get me wrong, it’s difficult, but I would easily take a bullet for either of them.
