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.

I have always been far more interested in business than becoming a dad; I am involved with various projects to do with composite doors, helping people to obtain cheap hotel deals and also offering clients a stuttering treatment course.

I have never felt so happy as I did when I first saw my gorgeous son; they are emotions that are virtually impossible for me to describe . He was so cute, so tiny seemingly as light as a feather. 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. To my astonishment and fear I was left all alone in the room with my new born son; totally unaware of how to look after such a tiny child – my son’s mum had gone off for a relaxing bath – which it has to be said she fully deserved. I was left feeling very pleased and contented as I had just become a dad for the first time but I also had a strange feeling of needing someone else there just in case something went wrong. I could not stop staring at him, he was so perfect. Looking back I now realise how crazy I was to be nervous about the whole thing – it is something that without a doubt has changed my life for the better.

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 has to go down as the best form of alarm that 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.
