When my daughter was born, I was a stay-at-home dad for the first two years.

I knew I wanted to be a father; I didn't know it was going to be this awesome or that my kid would come out so beautiful and lovely.

I was married at 20 and had a baby by 21. I had to grow up fast. Luckily there were people who believed in me and there were always jobs when I needed one.

After my daughter was born, I made a promise to myself to live in the moment.

I think the first 10 years of my daughter's life were my mother's happiest, because she could finally have carefree time with a kid.

My first child, I think I was completely shell shocked. I was ecstatic but in shock that I was now responsible completely for another life and it was my co-creation and how did I manage that?! I was in awe that I had actually done what millions of other women had done, given birth and now an added responsibility of 'mommy' in my life ahead!

I became the kind of parent my mother was to me.

When I was little, I knew that I was not adopted, but I actually imagined and hoped that I was - and that my real parents were going to come get me.

Growing up, I had a very happy childhood, with two parents who are still very much together.

I know for my wife and I, we always loved the idea of being young parents.
