My wife and I had our first child, a little girl, this morning at 8:31 AM. She weighs in at 8 pounds 14 ounces, is 21 inches long, and is, BY GOD, the cutest baby on the planet. She was delivered by c-section. Both mother and baby are in good health.
Thanks to all of you who sent well-wishes. Time to go to bed.

all my pics are around 1.8 mb each, and I can't afford the bandwidth. :(

16. "I haven't slept in five days" |
|
that's a quote from Jon Stewart last night re his new baby. Just a joke though. You'll sleep - it will just seem like you're awake all the time. I'll admit I'm jealous - my baby is 25 years old!

18. As this is your first child, here's a tip.... |
|
Babies are the funniest people in the world, funnier still because they don't know they're being funny. Be prepared to laugh your head off!
Congradulations to you and your wife and, yes, get some sleep!

22. Super! Congrats Daddy! |

Hey, if your wife is breastfeeding, you should be sleeping just fine! Just kidding. We know better than that.
If she needs any help, be sure to check your discharge papers from the hospital. There should be a number on it to call for breastfeeding help, either La Leche League or a professional lactation consultant. "I can't help you if you don't let me knw there is a problem" is what I tell new moms.

36. Welcome to the Parenthood Club! |
|
(Now you will receive knowing glances from other parents.)
Parenthood is the most wonderful, amazing, and tiring adventure you'll ever have. Did I mention it's relentless? But well worth it.
Now, be prepared to have an avalance of STUFF fall into your home for years on end. There is no way to escape the constant rain of sippy cups and little socks and art projects and birthday gifts and little plastic doohickeys and stuffed animals and school correspondence and cracker crumbs and on and on ... :)
