On Wednesday, Feb 23, 2011 at 9:01 AM, Nathaniel Allen Ward II was born into this world. I am amazed by how much such a little guy can just throw everything in my universe out of whack! Not necessarily in a bad way, but in unexpected ways. People can plan all they want to for a child, but when it comes right down to it, you can never really know how a little bundle of joy will change you and those around you.
Kelly and I could never have imagined that it was possible to love someone so much so quickly and without any question as we do our son! We noticed that we both have the tendency to forget to show eachother attention or affection as we are both so focused on our son. We will be moving into a bigger apartment which costs more and Kelly will be working less cutting out a good chunk out of our income. Kelly and I will be working opposite shifts so we will not get to see eachother as often as we are used to.
It's not only affecting our lives though, it's affecting the lives of our families and friends. There are people who I didn't expect to be around who stepped up to the plate and went above and beyond our expectations and there were others we expected to be all over this event who have chosen to have nothing to do with it. Friends are coming back and others are making themselves distant, We can't go out to do the things with friends that we could do before. Heck, Kelly and I can't have our dates every week like we could before! No more 'fun time,' at least not as much... Not to mention all the other things I can't do any more... No more listening to my hard rock, hip hop, rap and techno music... no more loud music!
...So, why then am I so happy to have a baby? Because he is a little peace of me and Kelly that will go on beyond me. He is a blessing from the Lord. He is a chance to help make tomorrow better than today. Lil Nathan is something I would give anything for and NOTHING will change that. I am so happy to be a father, and he and Kelly give me a renewed reason to keep going.
