If you’ve been wondering why I am not writing anything in my blog lately, now I’m going to tell you the secret: I’ve recently become a dad. Yes, that’s a moving moment in anybody’s life, or at least I felt it like that.

Being a dad is cool, except that sleep has become quite scarce lately, with wife breastfeeding to little Tommy five times a night. I don’t know how many times she’s feeding the little one during the day, because I’m at work, but I bet she feels like a milk factory already. At night, the process goes like this: she’s bought a nursing pillow, which is a kind of rectangular pillow with a curved edge and with a LED inside. When baby starts crying with hunger, mom takes the pillow, puts baby on top of it, the light glows nicely, they start the feeding thing, then in a few minutes, the pillow light goes off, so I’m supposedly not disturbed by the baby nursing process.

This is funny: if I was not disturbed, how comes that I know so well what my wife and son are doing all night long? I just pretend to be sleeping, so she feels comfortable, but I can tell you that I feel like falling asleep at the wheel or at my job, which is a dangerous thing to do, taking into account that I’m a heavy equipment operator.
