The Rookie Dad

When I found out my wife Christine was pregnant I had no idea what I was thinking or feeling and no clue what I should be thinking or feeling. Christine had daily heart-to-hearts with her girlfriends and a stack of parenting books by her bed. I had lots of questions with no answers. So I started writing. It was either that or try to ignore the whole thing - a choice that became increasingly difficult as Christine's belly became increasingly swollen.Rookie Dad is the story of a young husband and father learning how to pay attention to his family's changing size and shape. It's a story filled with hard questions with laughter and tears and with the unexpected joy of first-time fatherhood. It's my story - the story of how I became a dad.
