Woohoo! Congrats! Wow, big boy!

If this is your first, make a note of this date, cuz you'll always want to remember exactly when it was that your life became so much more enriched than you ever thought possible. That, and when it was that sleep became such a luxury!

Welcome to Fatherhood, ar15robert!

Wait'll the day comes when he's lookin' at you lookin' at him and you know it. That's a weird feeling!
When my first Daughter was born I was truly amazed at the thoughts that crossed my mind.
That everybody was like that at one time...

Congratulations, Amigo!

You don't need sleep anyway. It's wayyyyy overrated.

Welcome to the exclusive club formally known as "daddys". You will are about to enter a world where actions and words mean.... well.... they mean what actions and words should mean.

Being a Parent, a shooter, a social animal, and a "dude". I can only say... "sleep". Any chance you get, any time when you're able. Really... sleep.

Did I mention.... Get some SLEEP!!

That is wonderful! A baby under the tree, can't ask for a finer Christmas gift than that! Next year you'll have a baby in the tree,LOL. I love going to peoples houses with very small children. There tree's are never decorated all the way down. Kid proofed [:D]

CONGRADULATIONS!!!

I am so happy for you, you can't imagine! We are expecting within the next 2 weeks ourselves. Is this your first? How did it go? I am nervous as hell about the delivery. Were you in there? Was it better or worse than you expected?

Sorry for all the questions but I am kind of freaking out here. hehehe

Bottom line: You are lucky parents. I wish all the love in the world for your new child, the mother and you.

Awesome! Congratulations to you and your wife are definitely in order! I hope you are both doing well, and if you're going to take flowers, I suggest taking her some food as well. You'll get major brownie points. I still get kudos for the italian I brought when my wife was in with our son.

God Bless Texas

If he finds out later in life that you didnt take him to see Santa when he was ~10 days old, you are gonna be in deep trouble. Of course, what do you get a 10 day old for christmas?

CONGRATS man, there is nothing as challenging or fullfilling as children.

We just had our first daughter a week ago, Rachel, and she's as cute as a button. I've got two little boys but she's already got me wrapped round her tiny little fingers.

Enjoy your new baby, the first few days will be some of the most magical and memorable of your life.

Wow I dunno how I missed this one!

CONGRATS!!!

Talk about a kick ass X-Mas present, you must feel like you're on top of the world!

CONGRATS!!!!!!!
I also must second the motion to bring her food!!! You will surely win favor with the wife for this one!

Echo 6 and i had our 2nd son on October 20th and our first one is 21 months old They are GREAT! I still want another.

Is mom nursing? If so let me offer this advice...
It is REALLY hard the first 2 weeks but once you get past that it gets better I promise. Also make sure she can sleep when the baby does during the first weeks....It makes a big difference.
