MomJonz is excited to have a guest blogger.  A DAD!  Yes, let’s hear from Joel about his adventure into parenthood. Joel is a motivator, and I must say that he makes me rethink my purpose in life often.

I’m 34 years old and for the…well…countless amount of times, I have a confession to make.

 

Just like Darth Vader to Luke Skywalker, I am a father.

 

This may not come as a shock to you but for someone who, up until his 30th birthday was still unsure as to whether or not he wanted to be one, it is a shock.

 

I remember the day it happened…

 

In the final month of my 31st year, I bought my wife a Pandora Charm to signify that I was ready to have a child (tacky, I know). With a smile that I will never forget, she said, “Let’s get this show on the road.†9 months later in my 32nd year, my son was born.

 

Just like the day your child was born, his is a day that I will never forget. Never.

 

Like most first time parents before me, I spent the first four months wondering what I had gotten myself into. Although you would be hard pressed to hear my wife say the same, I did catch a look in her eyes once or twice telling me the same.

 

Countless screaming nights coupled with uncertainty as to whether or not I was doing the right thing fueled questions like:

  • What have I done?
  • Why me?
  • When will it end?
  • Can’t she do it?
  • Is screaming the only thing he does?

 

Somewhere after the fourth month things magically began to change. I really can’t explain it and unless you’ve been there, you won’t know what I mean. If I must explain it, I suppose it was almost like the magic that Disney claims to have when they say that, “Dreams do come true.â€

 

My questions found answers and the answers started and ended with YES.
