The Journey So Far...

Today, my son is 2 weeks and 1 day old and he is doing great! We've already gone to the doctors 4 times within those 2 weeks and he is perfectly healthy and happy as can be! Yesterday he had his first physical and the doctor said the only thing we need to change is dirty diapers and dirty clothes.  That's a sign that everything is going well and we should keep up the good work.  God is good and He has blessed me with a wonderful healthy baby boy,  I couldn't be happier!


Let me just talk about how he is overall.  First and foremost, my lil man is fully alert and you could find his picture in the dictionary under the word "calm." Yeah he can get a little fussy sometimes but for the most part he is a wonderful baby.  He had his first real bath the other night and he absolutely loved it! He stretched his legs out straight, closed his eyes, and enjoyed the royalty hahaha! He sleeps very well and I can tell, that he can tell, that he is loved. He looks around observing the world, taking in new colors and shapes.  Listening to new sounds and soaking up all the new things around him.  He is blessed and will be very smart at an early age. I love my lil soldier and I will teach him to be all that he can be :)


With that being said, I am very grateful for the way my life is going right now.  I am very blessed and I will not take anything for granted.  I will continue to keep raising my son the way I have because I already see success in his eyes. I would bend over backwards for him and give him my last because he deserves everything first.  My son is special, a gift from above and I will ALWAYS be here for him. I give praise and thanks to the Man upstairs because it is Him that made all of this come to past!


I love you son, Daddy is proud of you!


Your off to a great start!

Unconditional Love!

Five days from today, my first child will be brought into this world.  I just want to express my feelings to everyone and show how blessed and thankful I am for what is about to happen in my life.  When parenthood is put on you, your perception on what's important now has a complete turn around.  I am feeling anxious, nervous, excited, scared and overwhelmed all put together, but more so excited to have a part of me held in my arms.  I am the type of person who loves to help people, that's just what I love to do. I know becoming a parent is going to take my genuine heart to another level, and I see myself ready to show that love and support to my unborn child.  I have learned a lot from my parents, they have always been there for me and always helped me when I needed it.  They didn't give me EVERYTHING I wanted because growing up as a young man is all about becoming a man, and with that knownledge, I will do the same for my son.


I have written a poem for my lil' man, tell me what you think about it.  I hope for him to cherish it for the rest of his life and to see that his Father will show him unconditional love and support him through life.

“A Father’s Ambition”

What do I say? Where Do I start?

I will close my eyes tight, and recite from my heart

Joy fills my soul, excitement sheds tears

The dream of playing Daddy is finally here

Welcome to the world, my son, my own

All a part of me, like my flesh and my bones

Grasp my finger tight, you’re loved not betrayed

When your eyes meet mine, a Father-Son connections made

I will teach you the colors, throughout life you’ll see

To know right from wrong, like my Father taught me

Never say you can’t, and never give up

I will help along the way, just remember to stay tough

You’ll fall to the ground, because life can be rough

Just call Daddy’s name, and I’ll help you get up

I can’t do it all, you must learn to be a man

I will teach you that too, and the taller you’ll stand

You’re already blessed, there’s a calling on your name

Smile and show respect, and the further you’ll gain

I’ll teach you how to pray, you’ll learn new things

To tie your own tie, to chase after life’s dreams

I’m here in the beginning, you’ll find me at the end

For my first born son, it’s called “A Father’s Ambition”

I hope you enjoyed it!

Also, just to share some type of inspiration out there for other Father's, be there for your child. Teach them life lessons and raise them to do the right. I hope all new Father's are as excited as I am!  I consider it such a blessing, and I am already happy and proud of my lil' man that will soon arrive.

I love you son, see you soon!
