Intro

hi there. welcome to the blog. this first post is just a quick intro to the idea behind the blog. basically, i'm a new dad to a wonderful little baby girl and i've got no idea what i'm doing. this is, of course, nothing new. i suspect many guys feel this way when they first become a father, whether or not it is intentional or accidental. for my part, i fully planned to be a dad. i am ecstatic about the whole thing. and so far i haven't screwed it up too badly. but something tells me this is the easy part. so far we're only really dealing with the mechanics of keeping the kid alive and clean and loved. pretty easy in the grand scheme of things. it's the big picture that worries me. it's the little details i'm terrified i'm gonna forget until it's too late. it's all the things i don't even know that i need to know that keep me awake at night. so in a nutshell, i'm writing this in hopes that it might make me a better dad. before you start angrily typing comments, no, i don't think a blog can make me a better dad. i do, however, have some hopes that by putting some thought into some of these things and having some interesting people make some insightful comments, then maybe i have some small hope of providing more than just a haphazard, somewhat scattershot upbringing. anyways, that's the plan. thanks for reading ....
