I’ve been back at work a week now, after my three weeks at home with my wife and new son. It’s been a tough week, not because of work, but because my head has been all over the place.

That first morning was so hard to leave the house and I didn’t sleep much at all the night before. I felt guilty and selfish that I would be leaving my new family alone during the day.

I am a little sad today, as tomorrow I return to work. The past three weeks I’ve been at home, as my wife and I welcomed our son into the world and set about starting our life together as a family unit.

It’s been an amazing time, a lot of ups and some small downs, but – and here’s the thing – we have a baby boy now! He is here, he is ours to raise and love, and we are excited. Tired, but excited.
