Earlier this week, my wife and I welcomed our tiny little daughter in this world. As parents, we're very happy and completely smitten by this new addition to our lives.
I'm barely a week into fatherhood, so there's a lot to learn. I didn't fully grasp what people meant when they said that becoming a parent changes you at a fundamental level. Now I think I'm beginning to understand. Taking care of a newborn is a responsibility unlike anything else I've experienced. It's challenging, has a steep learning curve, and the stakes are high. Yet, at the end of the day, when you see that tiny human look at you and smile, nothing else matters and you feel like you'd gladly do it all over again.
