The New Dad's First Year

Nobody handed you a manual, and the parenting books seem written for someone else. You're exhausted, overwhelmed, and wondering if everyone else has it figured out except you. They don't. And that's okay.

The New Dad's First Year walks with you through 365 days of fatherhood—from the terrifying first diaper change to the triumphant first birthday. No judgment, no lectures, just honest companionship from someone who gets what you're going through.

Organized into four quarters that mirror your baby's development: - Q1: Survival Mode—the first 90 days of sleep deprivation, finding your role, and keeping everyone alive - Q2: Finding Your Rhythm—routines that work, bonding beyond feeding, and your relationship after baby - Q3: Growing Together—your baby's changing needs, dad identity, and work-life balance - Q4: The Home Stretch—mobile babies, looking ahead, and celebrating year one

Each day offers a practical tip, an honest reflection, and a reminder that you're doing better than you think. Written for all dads—whether your partner gave birth, you adopted, or your family looks different from the "traditional" picture.

Keep showing up. That's the only rule.
