Dan connects with Gordon Dragoon, a new father to an eight-week-old son. Gordon shares his experience over the past eight weeks, including figuring out a name, navigating the birth experience, managing night shift responsibilities, finding day care, and returning to work.

Gordon also shares his advice for new Dads: "Do not—at least for the first few months—do not look at the Internet too much...comparison is the thief of joy."

Welcome to fatherhood, Gordon!
