She's Arrived! Fatherhood Begins...

[macabra11]

Congratulations pruss, you and your family are forever blessed. I have a son (3 yo next month) and we're expecting our second child (a girl) in December. I suppose we now have to go into "Over protective, shotgun-wielding, stay away from my daughter" mode!

 

[smokeybear]

Amazing! Amazing! I am so happy for you guys i got some stogie's coming in too celebrate this wonderful event. All the best for you and your beautiful family.

Congratulations,

I have two girls myself. They are a blessing. And, you won't know what we mean by time will fly by. I didn't when people told me, but get ready, days will fly by like hours.
And, get used to functioning on no sleep. I went four years without a single full nights sleep. I think that may have permanently caused me some damage, ha ha!!

Congrats my friend. As has been said, the time goes by fast, REALLY fast. I can't believe my little girl, my youngest, will turn 10 in December. It seems like yesterday I was teaching her to ski and two weeks ago I was feeding her out of a bottle. You have no idea yet how much your life has changed, FOR THE BETTER!!!!!
Glad to hear that Robyn and Megan are doing well. Once you bring that little baby home for that first night you will experience emotions that cannot be put in words.
Enjoy it pal

You already know that life is precious, especially babies. It won't be long until she is telling YOU what's what. I wish you all the best and I know that you'll nurture her intelligence and independence.

You may also become a feminist.

Congratulations!!!!! She is perfect. Glad to hear that Mom and baby are doing well. Hope you got plenty of rest leading up to this because your next few years are spoken for lol Again, Congrats!!

Wow ... congrats Pat! What a beautiful day for you!! :clap:
I might add that Pat still made time to nicely package and ship three new pipes to me

while juggling his soon-to-be new daddy role. You're the man!

 

[wasatch]

congrats! We too had a healthy daughter arrive on July 22 (our first).
I have learned, among many other things, that you can't own enough bottles.
Also, I made the mistake of putting the diapers on too tight--poop chute out

the back!
Very sad when you have to retire their newborn clothes, which we are having to do.

Makes you realize that they are only that age once, which is hard to swallow. Helps to

cherish every moment.
Again, cheers!!!

 

[wasatch]

ha...just noticed our daughters have the same middle name.
Great stuff. Life is great.

Congratulations, Pat!

 

[pruss]

Thanks again, everyone. Every thing is brand new, all over again.
Can't wait to get her home.

Congrats and Best wishes Pat!

As has been said, the time goes by fast, REALLY fast. I can't believe my little girl, my youngest, will turn 10 in December.

Same here! My youngest just turned 10, my oldest turns 12 next month. Where did the time go?

 

[voorhees]

Congrats!! Nice Job!

 

[plateauguy]

Outstanding, Pat!!!! Your heart will never be the same. Give our best to Robyn, Megan is absolutely beautiful.
If Megan has colic drop us a line, our daughter suffered terribly before an old neighbor stepped in. Mom still remembers all of the tricks.

Congratulations!!! Life will never be the same! My daughter (took us 7 years to complete a pregnancy) just turned 5 - there's nothing like a Daddy/daughter relationship... Enjoy the ride!

Surprised no one's asked the two most important questions that every woman would ask.
Weight & length?

[tarak]

Congrats. I think the "manliest" day I ever had was the day our son was born. And we have another coming here soon.

 

[lordnoble]

Either way, congratulations, Pat & Robyn! I'll send my condolences to your wallet shortly.

Congratulations Pat!

 

[sablebrush52]

Many congratulations to you both! That is one lucky kid! My son is 21. It seems only yesterday that I was walking with my little bundle of joy perched on my shoulder, puking up white stuff.
Oh...that WAS yesterday!
BTW, how long before you teach her how to prep flakes?
