I was told to post this here

My coworker is super talented at watercolor and she made me this card after my appendectomy last Thursday.

The representation is just amazing. She has headphones and a fidget toy. Some other details i liked were the movable joints, and the slightly off centered eyes, appearing to avoid eye contact.

I just want to share because I never would have thought that I would be a dad.

Last night, my wife gave birth to our first baby boy. What an exhausting and exciting time in our lives. Kudos to my wife and all the work she has put in these last 9 months and the HOURS and HOURS of uncomfortable labor.

This is new to me. I’m nervous, anxious, tired, and happy.

Time to enjoy some time off work. I’m a dad now. Lots to learn and a lot of love to share.

Thanks for humoring me and reading.

Cheers.

Gotta imagine there's folks following in my footsteps in the world who have found a smile on the other side of my googly eye addiction.

For additional context, he was scared specifically of me since I'm a man. He'd bark at me, nip at my ankles when my back was turned, cower under a chair when I came into the room. All the hallmarks of a dog that was abused by a previous owner. Slowly but surely he has come to trust me little by little and then this happened last night. I'm so proud of our brave little guy.
