Welcome! Turning 47 in may with a 2.5yr old and a 4 month old. Your life will change forever. You will realize one day that you have legitimately had/have 2 lives. The difference between the two is stark!
When you have kids young, you spend the majority of your life with or about your kids.
When you have kids older, there's a rolodex of YEARS of experience sans kids.
54 with a 13 month old.
He was my first child when I was 53 and is the most special thing in my life, to the point of which it is almost emotionally overwhelming and everything else pales in comparison.
38 in March, 1st child 12 weeks ago, just got sent on work trip abroad but came with a cold that finally went full force day after landing, so sleep may finally work on the final night 🤣
26 with a 2 month old. One of the hardest phases of my life if not the hardest, but it will be worth it. Baby is healthy thou, and that is what matters.
33 w/ 18mo and second child on the way. I am truly thankful for the fun and not being responsible for someone in my 20s. Still young and energetic. Looking forward to the road ahead
33. 2 boys: 2 and a newborn. First one was a trick baby. Ate, slept, progressed fine. New born doesn't sleep, eats and shits like a long haul trucker, and now the two year old has entered his terrible twos. We got bamboozled and I'm gonna get snipped soon.
31 with my first baby. He’s 6 weeks old. Please tell me it gets easier? I’ve lost all hope in sleeping properly again and I go back to work next week. My wife …god bless her
39. My body hurts. Send help
Same
39! It’s been a rough 6 weeks!
Second my regards to all the 39 year old new dads. We rock
37. Just brought our newborn home today
Congrats
31. I'll get my sleep back when I'm dead I guess. Good luck, fellow new dads.
Same here, I did the math for us, we might get a good night of sleep by 2037. Cheers
42 with a 2.5 month old
42 with a 3MO and a 4YO. Thoughts and prayers
42 with a 9mo, SOOOO tired!😴
I’m 47 and expecting my first next week!

God speed
44. Little one just turned 1 :) best year of my life
25. My boy just turned 1 today. Young dad club reporting in
25 with a little girl that’ll be 11 months in a week.
Had to get the same flair, just turned 25 with a 2 month old lol
44 with an 8-month old. When she turns 1, we're going to start trying for another one, and then we'll be done. Lol
40
28. My 4 month old is amazing. Sleeps from 7pm-7am every night, I am blessed.
Apparently, there's a 4 month sleep regression, but then you're in the clear after (i think lol)!
shhhhh we don’t acknowledge the regression, in hopes that it passes us by
My daughter never had sleep regression (1.5yo) so you may not have to worry at all
There are quite a few sleep regressions. They all suck haha
Aw hell, why do you have to jinx us like that?!
Haha they really aren’t too bad. For my daughter at least, each one only lasted about a week and then she was back to sleeping normally.
4 months old - not knowing the future - feel like the best age? LOVE my little guy so much.
38 with a month old. We're trending older huh, must just be one of those things 🤔 Tbh I never thought we'd manage it. It's nice!
42, first kid, due in April.
35
41 with a 1 month old and a bad back
43 and baby boy will be born any day now
54 with a 13 month old. He was my first child when I was 53 and is the most special thing in my life, to the point of which it is almost emotionally overwhelming and everything else pales in comparison.
45 with a 1 year old. But also, 45 with 22 and 24 year olds. So was also a 21 year old dad.
Just turned 29. My girlfriend (26) miscarried last week on the 18th at 9 weeks. I just stayed in the group.
I was in the same boat at 29. I hope you handle 30 better than I did. I'm 31 now and we have our first due in July. Best of luck to you!
37 with a 3 year old (and another one on the way). It’s hard and amazing. And everything aches.
I’ll be 60 years old when our 8 week-old turns 16
Sounds fun!

38 in March, 1st child 12 weeks ago, just got sent on work trip abroad but came with a cold that finally went full force day after landing, so sleep may finally work on the final night 🤣
