2 weeks in to 'dad life' and my paternity has now come to an end. I've thoroughly enjoyed being at home and it's going to be so hard for me to go back tomorrow but needs must. I fortunately have a fair amount of holiday saved up (incase my OH needed a C-Section) so it looks like i'm going to have around a month off over Christmas which is gonna be nice.
It's been nice to be a hands on Dad, I've done as much as possible to help my wife in her recovery, helping her bond with baby but also letting her have some time to get her **** together on her own for a hour or two. Today me and the little one went motorbike shopping, don't think she was too interested, but it felt great to be out in the big wide world with my daughter and the amount of attention a 'fresh spawn' draws is unreal.
