Spoiler:
And it still hasn't hit me yet. I'm still in awe, excited and a nervous wreck all in one... now I need to fulfill my duty and raise her as a die hard Celtics fan! Of course, with far less negativity and expectations ;)

Thank you! I hope I'm ready for what is to come when it indeed comes... first hurdle would be the lack of sleep ;)

Congrats bro, I think though you should really cuddle with her after doing something like that instead of making a thread on RealGM. At least till she falls asleep and you can take a shower.

Haha point taken... she is getting her tests done and I'm waiting to give her back to her mother. Just drained by the whole thing... the good thing is she didn't cry a lot when I held her... I've always been terrified of handling babies

I'm in the delivery room right now with my second. Wife is about 30 mins away. Trying to convince her to come before the game starts.

Good assessment:

I have 4 Children, and Grands too.
I'm in awe, Everyday.

It's the most Difficult Job in the World. -- And there are No Days Off.
You can't even Quit.

It's also, the Best Job Ever, Ever, Ever.

Congratulations!!!

I Didn’t know a Damn thing!
But I learned it
I Did it

There was no Internet back then,
So, I went to the Library
And got a lotta Books
Did your hair in Public
And Got a lotta Looks

Some Daddy’s can say
That they went to every Graduation
Every Event
I Didn’t just go
I Brought you There

I Danced silly dances
Danced to silly songs
To make your Comfortable
I wore a Skirt – And Pom Poms!

To help you get Ready
For your Cheerleader Tryouts
And the Rest of your Life
I Did it

I ain’t a Woman
I don’t have that Natural Instinct
But, That Didn’t Stop Me!

I didn’t do Everything Right
I Just . . . Did it
Every Day
Every Night
Every Dinner
Every Bedtime Story
Every Sickness
Every Happiness
Every – Single – Moment

Of Course, You Grown Now
So, I guess I could Say
That, "I Did do it!”
And the Job is Done

But . . . You Still My Baby
Even when you are Old & Grey
So, “I DO IT”
Still
Each & Every Day

Anyway,
I’m in Upper Management now!
Grandparents Day, is the 1st Sunday,
After Labor Day, In September,
I’m Just Saying

I Could Do That . . .

Well congrats sprash. Never too early to start the brainwashing, don't feel guilty about it.

One of my favorite things in life involves my sports experiences with my 15yr old son. Our celtics bond is so fun, the debates, game experiences, knows more than I'll ever know.
