Post Preganancy 2015

This is future me (or rather present me) speaking. Hello, my name is Kevin and I’m a father “Hi Kevin". 

Throughout my wife's pregnancy (and mine to some extend) I have been going nuts looking for resources to help me, a twenty-something year old male, help my ageless wife. When looking online I found stuff like "help around the home, make dinner, and spontaneously break into a rap battle". But nothing that actually helped me. I didn't know what to expect and saw that there's a movie called "What to Expect When Expecting" but got bored by the title and gave up.

There isn’t anything for fathers who are waiting and anxious. There are plenty of resources for AFTER the baby is born but not during the actual pregnancy. I'm not talking about medical-related stuff but how do you handle this transition from being a nerd who is still scared to speak to a sales clerk to a father who will still be scared to be speak to a sales clerk. 

I decided to write my thoughts and struggles that most guys go through. Keep in mind that now I have a beautiful baby girl and that in the end everything is worth it. But at the time of writing I was terrified, excited and not knowing what to expect when expecting.
