She's Arrived! Fatherhood Begins...

[andrew]

Gratz!!! She will bring you years of joy and more than a few grey hairs

True that, I started going gray at 25, my daughter is turning 15 on wednesday and I'm more salt than pepper now. My brother and his wife just had their baby 2 weeks ago too so I'm an uncle now. Congrats. Life begins now.

You had us holding our collective breath along with you buddy, congrats.
When are they letting you guys go home?

By the way, we have been having quite an enjoyable e-mail discussion about this and other topics as of late.
My favourite exchange occurred when Pat sent us pictures of the new addition yesterday.
Allan replied:
Pat
First and foremost, I can't believe that gorgeous girl is your child
How is this possible?? Maybe the milk man??
To which Pat replied:
Nice one, Allan... But given the fact that you raised the pool boy's child I take your experience as caution.
:rofl:

Congratulations! This is the best time of your life and before you know it they're off to college. Now I'm waiting for grand kids to steal for a few days. She's beautiful, enjoy every moment you can.

Fatherhood is a wonderful thing. Now you will live life at its best. You will also learn the real meaning of patience! Congratulations to you and your wife.

[cuchulain]

Congrats man! The first month is gonna fly.

 

[pruss]

Thanks, everyone, for your generous comments and thoughts. It looks like mom and baby will be in the care of their doctors for a couple more days, then we'll head home.
You all are aces.

Many congratulations Pat and all our best wishes to your beautiful little girl.
+1 Timothy (rsuninv). Wendy and I had two boys when Emma came along. I was talking to my Dad (2 boys & 2 girls) and he said "You'll feel differently about a daughter." I told him he was daft. But he was very right. I love the boys, but Emma has had my heart from the moment she arrived. Also - that feeling only deepens; no matter how old/grown-up/travelled your daughter becomes, to you she will always be the little girl who held your hand walking down the street. You have it all to come Pat - I hope you and Robyn enjoy every moment.
