He wrote:
“My Life has completely changed since i had my first kid. I mean, is this what parents go through? I now partake in daily night vigils and sleep with him during the day so i can run my shift with him at night. Before you get him to sleep nko? You go carry to your arms weak, you go sing, you go stand, dance and even pray for his eyes to close but the moment you are convinced that he has started sleeping and you try to lay him down so you can rest, BOOM! HIS EYES ARE WIDE OPEN AND HE IS CRYING ALL OVER AGAIN!! I have now come to appreciate all parents more and give special kudos to those who have twins. #diaryofanewdad”
