    I'm going to be a new dad in February and stress is an understatement. I'm in between jobs due to me moving to a new city with my fiance. I have no savings and I've been depressed and completely unmotivated for months. It takes everything i have just to get out of bed and take a shower. My fiance also has depression and bipolar disorder so i know im gonna have to be the glue that holds us all together. I used to have a nice apartment, a nice car, i was running a business at 23 years old and was set for success. Once i found out she was pregnant i lost all motivation. I lost my job, lost my apartment, lost all my savings. Im excited to be a dad but im so fucking scared because i dont know how I'm gonna hold myself together let alone my fiance and daughter. Some days i wake up excited as hell. Other days i just collapse from the pressure and the anxiety. We were wanting kids but a few years down the road. Im not ready for this. I feel like a failure in all directions and im so lost

    Well baby Forrest has arrived! Took a long time! Had to induce and wanted to do it the natural way. Well after 24 hours of contractions my wife decided that the best bet was to get an epidural. She was sad feeling beat that things did not go her way. After the epidural and sweating the small stuff she said it was the best decision ever. Then the pitoson was stressing out the baby for the second time were both exhausted and really had to decide well c-section might be the best bet. We did not want an emergency c-section to happen so we decided to bite the bullet and get the c-section. Luckily we have great care and I suited up and went into the OR with her. The baby was born and is healthy with no complications! I just wanted to tell you that your videos made me stronger going in and being the support person my wife needed. Have to deal with curve balls and that is life! Thank you for all of your videos I look up to you as a positive influence and with just the videos you have made me into a better person/dad.

    I think the most exciting part about having my new baby boy is that I get to create a bond with him. I can't wait to show him the world and spend time with him as well as my girlfriend/wife. I just get this feeling that it's gonna connect us so much and be an amazing, beautiful glow-up in our lives, that will help us thrive the most we ever have in life. I want to be the best I can be I don't want to let him or his mother down. I just overthink sometimes and get scared that what if I change when the baby comes maybe I get too overwhelmed or stressed and it just changes me. i don't know I just want to do a good job and treat them the best I can I truly am excited to be a father and I can't wait to give this lil man tons of love and I hope god takes us in the right path growing our knowledge, bond, strength, and love with each other as a family.

  • @Wingyy1995
    @Wingyy1995 2 роки тому

    I remember when I was 19 or 20 and I heard a say of "If you are 25 and your friends aren't talking about stocks, housing and starting a family, but are instead talking about parties and drinking, you need new friends"
    Ignored it at the time, but when I hit 24, 25 and I got engaged, married, and now pregnant with my wife, I realised how true that was

    I'll be a new dad late February 2024, potentially on my birthday too! Its been a weird experience so far, feeling my son move in my wifes belly, the baby shower experience, the nursery coming together, etc. Is this normal to feel odd about it the whole time leading up to the birth? When does it become "real" for most guys?
