Thank you everyone for the kind words. It ended up being a c section because my wfe is so tiny but all is well no complications. We just gotta hang out at the hospital a little longer. Much love guys, thank you!
Congrats! I hope all is well. Fatherhood is a blessing- and a challenge! I run pediatric clinic if you need a pediatrician - but it might be a bit of a drive up to Minnesota!
Thank you everyone. Now the roughest part.....they released mommy today but the boy was having trouble breast feeding so they gotta keep him one more night and try and put some formula weight on him. Mommy is not happy but understands baby health first!
when our second was born I was going to take our oldest to the movies. My wife was strangely bothered by being home alone with the baby. I was annoyed at the time. Then I realized something was up. She was having mild postpartum depression. I felt like an ass for being annoyed at her. So the fix for me was to ask if she would like to take our oldest to the movies and I would stay home with the baby. She decided that was what she wanted to do. She came home feeling better and that's what we all want. I missed the LEGO movie. Big wuup! Great movie I saw it two weeks later because my oldest wanted to see it again. So be flexible, go with the flow. This shit has a way of working itself out.
So that and you may not know but lots of women have breastfeeding anxiety and troubles and sorry dude but your going to have lots of talks about feelings and emotions. Just have patience because this will pass. Give her time to do simple stuff like get her hair cut. Go to the grocery store by herself. Get some to go food so she doesn't have to cook.easy stuff like that. The plus side is you get to spend time with your little dude. Dive in and take charge. She will remember that for a long time.

I was going to offer some advice cautioning about post partum depression.
buster's advice is sufficient.
Don't take it lightly because this is a critical time for the entire family. You may have been dealing with hormonal changes during the pregnancy, but they're still happening and they are volatile.
Your protective paternal eye must include mom as much as the newborn for all your sakes.

Congratulations, Gary! I'm the father of a 3 month-old daughter, and I've literally *just* received from my wife a video of our baby turning around on her own for the first time. You'll be amazed at how much you'll enjoy these little milestones 
Welcome to the club! :

Congratulations! Find your son's birth year pipe now - it will be harder to find 18 years hence. Then, if you believe in funding your son's post-secondary education, you can start that 529.
Congrats. My boy just turned 3 and it has gone way too quickly. Spend as much time as possible around him, because they do something new every day and it is really amazing to watch!
Happiness and health to all of you!

Congratulations on the birth of your son. Enjoy this time as soon enough you will have a teenager on your hands and then it gets real interesting.
Congratulations on that fine looking boy. Don't blink, seriously, I know everyone will tell you they grow up quick but the reality is that we parents grow old quick. I still recall my infant daughter sleeping on my chest, not much longer than my forearm. She's a senior in college now.
