My wife and I had our first child!!!! I am very excited, and finally got a couple of pics on Photobucket. Our daughter, Kayla, was born on July 9, 2009 at 8:08 p.m. after 18.5 hours of labor. She was 9 lbs, and has been growing and pooping ever since :lol: Both baby and mommey are happy and healthy which is all a daddy could ever ask and pray for!
I love fatherhood, and I have adjusted pretty well to the lack of sleep if I do say so myself :lol: Here's a couple of pics to enjoy!

Kayla loves her swing

I was going to post a picture of the first poopy diaper I ever changed, but I didn't think you or Kayla would much appreciate that :lol: I guess I'll save that picture for her boyfriend when she's 17 or whatever :lol: OH ya, I'm going to be THAT dad!
I am ready and willing to accept any and all tips and funny stories from all parents out there :lol:
One bit of advice (or story to consider) I can offer to other perspective parents........when my wife were shopping for things prior to Kayla's arrival, we were looking at the swing you see pictured. I thought it was insanely priced and made a huge stink about paying XXX$ for a swing when others were cheaper and seemed to do the same thing.
Well, the first time Kayla wouldn't stop crying (even after feeding, burping, and a fresh diaper, I put her in the swing and within 30 seconds she was quiet and asleep. At that moment, I gladly would have paid 10 times what we paid for this silly little device. The price I would pay for peace and quiet is endless :lol:
One proud daddy!
