What is an “Urban Dad”?

He is the guy that doesn’t live in the burbs, doesn’t have the yard, the car, the mega-square footage home, probably takes transit, tries to live green....and absolutely loves it!!

So what exactly is “The Urban Dad”?

Well, in short, this is a blog I intend to keep to share my first steps into fatherhood and to possibly help those that take it after or along with me. Tips, tricks, music, and all kinds of other stuff that I come across during this new phase in life. I have had a hard time finding websites dedicated solely to becoming a first time father or anything that helps a guy go through the pregnancy process. Surprise, surprise... We guys operate a bit different than the ladies and although reading all the same books that our pregnant significant others read, it just doesn’t have the same effect.

What makes me an expert in the field?

Not a damn thing!!  This is my first time and hopefully more than anything this blog will help me stay sane.

So who am I?

I’m a 32 year old guy living right smack dab in the middle of downtown Vancouver, BC.  My wife and I don’t drive, try our best to be environmentally conscious and are also both vegetarians. I’m an Events Planner and my wife works in Fashion Design. I plan on there being many challenges as I take this next step in life; some amusing and some probably downright stressful. Hopefully there will be something here that will help add a few laughs and make this journey a bit less stressful for some of you as well.

Cheers,

UD
