Welcome!

My name is Robert and everyday I see my wife working on her blog talking about raising kids and her day to day routines. So I thought how great would be if I started up the same thing but from the other side of the dinner table.

Year One

The first year was challenging, we were both new to something that is very different from the norm. We both worked at the same restaurant, she would work the mornings and I would work the nights. We quite literally transferred shifts. Robby was the star of the show, all of our fellow team members knew who he was and for that 20 minutes a day we played pass the baby. People would take turns holding him as we closed out our shifts or started our daily routine. I can honestly say if it were not for our friends during this time life would have been much more difficult.

Having your first baby is definitely a life changer though. When you go from being the life of the party to being a parent, expect even your best friends to become a little more distant. Not because they don't like you, but because you are now different. Money is always an issue, but I think everyone underestimates the cost associated with feeding, clothing, and basic care of an infant. Well if your going into this stage now don't worry, the stress and the anxiety will eventually fade it's only the beginning and it is all worth it. Just be patient.

A year goes by and now there is a new choice to make. One that will change life forever.
