It’s surreal. I am sitting here with her sleeping on my lap as mom gets some much needed rest.

    Congratulations! My first girl is now 18 and I can tell you it’s a ride! She’s the oldest of 4 (two of each) and, despite some very real challenges, I love being a dad.

    Fuck yeah dude!

    Ours is 20 days away from her due date, so it could happen at any moment.

    Congrats!

    Congratulations!! Ours is 2.5 and every moment seems more rewarding then the last. I was terrified about having a girl because basically my whole family is boys, but she’s fantastic.

    Enjoy it my friend, it’s pure magic.

    First, congrats! Second, there will be sleepless nights and frustration as you learn how to be a dad. The good news is those will quickly fade from memory to be replaced by warm happy memories. The good heavily outweighs the bad.

    Congratulations! My baby girl is about to turn 16 and it is amazing how quickly it all went by. I have a lot of fond memories or holding her in my lap while Mommy slept since we used to do this in shifts. It is the most amazing experience to watch a little baby grow up to be a person that, for better or worse, you helped mold and shape. Enjoy every minute of it because it will be gone before you know it.
