Its only been a month since our baby Mateo has first seen light, but it already feels like a whole lifetime has passed since that faithful day. Andrea and I have changed so much that nothing now really seems distinctly familiar. From the morning kisses all the way to the goodnight hugs, the routine we learned to live by for more than a year was redone almost overnight.
A baby will change so much in your life - your daily activities, schedules,the food you eat, everything! In fact, Andrea and I have never gone on a date again ever since Mateo came. (Not that we used to go out often) Because no one else would be left in the house to take care of our little one, we eventually decided to remove such luxuries in our lives for now, or at least until our baby has built enough resistance to fight against bacterial and viral agents outside.
I know it sounds a lot like a bunch of complains but that is what's been happening. When I pictured myself as a dad, I saw the same me with the same exact things, same routines, same freedom and boundaries, except that I have a child. I didn't exactly picture these changes as part of being a daddy. I guess most would-be-daddies never saw this coming. Sigh! I can't wait till Mateo is strong enough to go out with us!
