## Resource

Episode #3 of Life of Dad continues the conversation about the early days of fatherhood as hosts Tom Riles, Lee Kimbrell, and Mike James dive into the fog of bringing a newborn home for the first time. From sleepless nights and 3 a.m. fears to figuring out shifts with your spouse and realizing “this baby is really ours now,” the guys share honest stories about the emotional blur of those first few days with a new baby. The episode also features updates from life at home, including Lee celebrating his daughter finally saying “Dada,” conversations about youth sports, parenting encouragement, and the moments dads remember years later. Along the way, the guys get sidetracked into Michael Jordan debates, late-night newborn paranoia, marriage growing stronger through parenting, and the strange mix of exhaustion, fear, and joy that comes with becoming a dad. Funny, heartfelt, and relatable, Episode #3 feels like the kind of conversation dads have after finally surviving the first few nights home with a baby.a
