A New Adventure
The nine-month rollercoaster (no seatbelts included)
A hilarious, honest and unexpectedly tender journey into parenthood —
told by a slightly overwhelmed, often clueless, but deeply loving dad.
Nobody hands you a manual when you decide to start a family.
Which is fine, really. Because even if they did, it would be wrong. It would be full of beautiful bump photos and glowing skin and couples who look like they have it all figured out.
That is not this book.
A New Adventure is the story of what actually happens — the waiting, the science, the hope you're almost too scared to hold, the Google searches at 2am, the ultrasound rooms, the moments that break you open and the ones that put you back together.
It's written by a dad. From the side of the table nobody writes about.
What's inside
Two years of trying. One round of IVF. A positive test they were almost too afraid to believe.
And then — the real adventure begins.
From the first scan to the sleepless nights, from the panic to the laughter to the moment everything changes forever — A New Adventure captures the unfiltered, unrepeatable, utterly chaotic experience of becoming a parent for the first time.
No filters. No sugarcoating. No pretending it's easy.
Just the truth, told with humour, honesty, and a love so big it's almost embarrassing to admit.
Who this book is for
For the dads who feel invisible in the pregnancy conversation — this one's written for you, by one of you.
For the partners who want to understand what's really going on in his head during those nine months.
For the mums who want to hand their partner something and say — read this, it'll help.
For anyone who's ever sat in a waiting room hoping with everything they have that it works out.
And for the baby shower gift that's actually different — funny, real, and something they'll actually read.
From the author
"I didn't write this book because I had all the answers. I wrote it because I had none of them — and I wished someone had been honest with me about that from the start.
This is for every parent who ever felt lost, terrified, and completely in love with something that hadn't even arrived yet.
Welcome to the adventure."
