Today was a busy day. My newborn baby was kind of sick; it may have been a cold. So I went to the hospital with her. The doctor checked her very well and said that she was completely fine. We don't need to take any further tension for her. After the normal checkup, the doctor prescribed her some medicine and said that we have to take extra care of our baby.
This is my first baby. She is only 14 days old today, which means I have been a father for 14 days. Before her, I didn't have any experience of being a father, but I am trying so hard to take care of her. I don't know how to be a perfect father, but I am trying my best.
I am spending lots of time with her and trying to play with her, even though she doesn't know how. I think she is enjoying my company, and since coming into the world, she has rarely cried. However, her crying level seems to be increasing day by day. Sometimes she even laughs at me, and her smiley face is so beautiful. I am always amazed to see her happy face.
She is learning new things every day. Now she can lightly hold anything with her hands. Sometimes she holds her mother's hair, sometimes my fingers too. She doesn't have much power to hold tightly, but she is trying.
Most of the time she sleeps. But after 2 AM at night, she wakes up and starts crying. Then our busy schedule starts. We try to comfort her. We play with her, we take her and walk around the room corner to corner. It is really a busy time.
When she sleeps, we get some free time, so we take advantage of that to do our regular work and try to finish all the tasks we need to finish. Sometimes, I spend my time on Google and YouTube, researching how to take care of a newborn baby. I read and watch the articles and information provided by specialists.
I always want to be a good father like my father was. I still miss him so much; it's been almost 6 years since he passed. But I still remember how much he loved us, and how he would spend time with us. After returning from work after a long day in the office, he would always give us his time. Most of the time he would try to help us with our studies.
After finishing our studies, we would always watch TV with my father. My father was a sports lover and never missed any match of cricket or football of the Bangladesh team. I would always sit down with him and watch those matches. For that reason, I also became a sports lover like my father.
However, time flies. I lost my father and now I have become a father. I don't know if I can be a father like my father was, but I am trying my best. I am trying to learn everything and give my daughter a good world.
