Rookie Dad: Thoughts on First-Time Fatherhood

When I found out my wife, Christine, was pregnant, I had no idea what I was thinking or feeling, and no clue what I should be thinking or feeling. Christine had daily heart-to-hearts with her girlfriends and a stack of parenting books by her bed. I had lots of questions with no answers. So I started writing. It was either that, or try to ignore the whole thing ? a choice that became increasingly difficult as Christine?s belly became increasingly swollen.Rookie Dad is the story of a young husband and father learning how to pay attention to his family?s changing size and shape. It?s a story filled with hard questions, with laughter and tears, and with the unexpected joy of first-time fatherhood. It?s my story ? the story of how I became a dad.
