My amazingly incredible daughter was born a month ago. (Not) coincidently, that's about the time my wife's last full night of sleep occurred as well.

In my opinion, creating a new person is a truly magical and awe-inspiring process. Yes, it's also painful, aggravating, and at times, very overwhelming. We are now down to just a couple weeks left before our daughter is born, and I am filled with mixed emotions from excitement, nervousness, and eagerness, and there is also the occasional irritation.

Pregnancy journals are nothing new. It's been recommended for decades. It helps you mentally and emotionally to connect with your child-to-be. As a father who will not have a life growing inside them, this is very important in my opinion.
