Fatherhood rocks

I’ve been running on 5 or less hours of interrupted sleep every night since Sunday. I’m no stranger to sleep issues and have struggled with my energy levels over the years. In a normal week, this would basically the death of me and I’d be struggling going into the weekend. But this time is different.

They say fatherhood changes everything and it was honestly something that I didn’t fully understand until it happened.

All of a sudden getting up at 6am after sleeping for 2 hours isn’t so bad anymore. There’s a human that needs me and wants to see me.

As quickly as my exhaustion and sleep needs have seemingly disappeared, everything else also feels on pause. I no longer have a burning desire to go out and have a beer with friends. My golf game is an afterthought. Work is away from any priorities now.

Of course, it’s less than week in and things will change. But for now, all I’m excited to do is hang out with my son and spend as much time with him as possible. He’s amazing and I love watching him grow and being his Dad.

Everyone was saying that everything changes when you become a father. They were right and it rocks.
