People say the birth of a child is undoubtedly one of the most incredible experiences in your life – especially that magical moment when you hold your child for the first time. With all the professional “birth-day/newborn” photo shoots, you’d be forgiven for thinking giving birth is not only a beautiful experience, but a well-dressed, make-up ready, fabulous event.
But Cody Lake, a new father, took the birthing event to a whole new level with his hilarious commentary of what really goes on behind-the-scenes.
Before we get to that, first meet Cody.

Dad’s do seem to get looked over when the baby’s coming. He’s got needs too.
