In This Article I Write About My Joy Of Becoming A Parent And About How My Life Has Changed Since The Birth Of My Son. It Came As Quite A Shock To Me A Few Years Ago When My Girlfriend Told Me That She Was Pregnant. We Had In Truth Been Trying For A Baby, But I Never Thought It Would Happen. I Am Not Really Sure Why This Was, I Am Stupid I Know. I Have To Admit That I Was Quite Scared At First But Now Feel Very Lucky And He Has Truly Changed My Life In A Positive Way.Around A Week Before My Son Was Born, I Decided To Go Out For A Few Beers With A Couple Of Friends. It Was Like One Last Night Out Of Freedom Before Being Thrust Into Parenthood. During This Particular Night I Remember Thinking Something Like, I Will Miss This. For Some Reason I Actually Thought That Becoming A Father Would End Any Social Life That I Had And Would Be The Start Of A Life Of Choirs.The Feeling Of Emotion And Happiness When I First Set Eyes On And Held My Son Is Very Hard To Describe . He Was So Small And Light. I Was Handed Some Milk To Feed Him And He Soon Started To Knock It Back, A Bit Like Me With The Beer I Thought To Myself. My Girlfriend Left The Room To Have A Bath And I Was Left In The Room On My Own, Holding The Baby As They Say. I Could Not Stop Staring At Him, He Was So Perfect. Scared, What An Idiot I Thought, You Are The Luckiest Man Alive.My Whole Attitude To Life Has Now Changed, In The Past Socialising With My Friends Was A Massive Part Of My Life. Even Though I Still Do Go Out With Them, I Have To Say It Is Probably Only Around Half As Much As I Used To. You Might Think I Am Sad But When I Am Out I Do Miss All Of My Family Including My Son.Every Morning He Is The First One To Wake Up And Walks Into Our Room And Says, Morning! I Wake Up And There In Front Of Me Is My Son With A Beaming Smile On His Face. Can You Get Me Some Breakfast Dad Please? He Loves His Food! This Is The Best Type Of Alarm I Have Ever Had.I Have Always Been The Type Of Person Who Is Often Anxious And Stressed. This Can Even Turn Into A Period Of Sustained Depression. Nowadays Whenever I Feel Any Of These Symptoms I Spend As Much Time As Possible With My Son As He Soon Puts A Smile Back Onto My Face.I Feel Very Sorry For People Who Are Unable To Have Children And Find It Very Hard To Understand People Who Choose Not To Have Any. I Am As You Can No Doubt Tell, A Very Proud Parent And Would Do Anything For My Son. Even When He Is Naughty I Find It Hard To Be Angry At Him For More Than About Two Minutes. I Have Recently Spent A Weekend At A Friends Stag Party. I Have To Say It Was A Lot Of Fun And I Had A Great Time But Despite All Of This I Could Not Wait To Get Back Home.I Now Have Something To Really Live For And The Future Is Really Exciting For Possibly The First Time In My Life. There Are Many Things That I Am Looking Forward To Including:Taking My Son For His First BeerTaking My Son To Watch The FootballTaking My Son To Play SnookerSeeing My Son With His First GirlfriendBecoming A GrandadThese Of Course Are Just A Small Number Of Many Things Which Really Excite Me In The Future.For Any People Out There Who Are Unsure About Whether They Wany To Become A Parent, I Can Honestly Say That From A Personal Experience It Has Been Amazing.
