It seems like yesterday I was standing in the hospital, watching my son be born. My hand was turning red from my wife's grasp. The doctors and nurses were yelling, my wife was screaming, my son's head popped out and he began screaming too. The whole time I was just standing there trying to catch my breath.
Since that moment, I've began to realize that life is so much bigger than mine. It's amazing to see the progress my son has made in a little over a year. Now he is getting into everything, and although at times he can be a little burden, he’s also a huge part of my motivation. It's been a struggle at times, getting used to changing diapers, giving baths, and feeding him. But overall he’s been a great blessing in my life.
Then, just when I start to think I’m doing a pretty good job, and I start getting used to the whole father thing, my wife tells me she is pregnant again!
My name is Dennis Ottosen and I currently live in Fort Atkinson with my wife and son. I am a junior at UWW and I’m majoring in Journalism with a Multimedia minor. I transferred to UWW after graduating from MATC with my associate degree in Liberal Arts. I plan on being a writer.
