As my wife said to me as she was nursing our Stephanie, "I'm stuck with doing all the hydraulics input so it's only fair that you do all the cleanups and she needs changing again."
And what was the other thing? Oh yes,
sincere congratulations on the birth of your beautiful daughter.

Thanks for sharing the photos of your new daughter. Sincere Congratulations and enjoy the ride. I have two sons....nowadays, if I had a daughter, she'd be locked in the house about the time she turned 13 and I'd keep her there, let's go with about into her 40's so I knew no scumbag teenage boy with raging hormones would go near her. I remember how I was.....
Good luck to you and your family,
Don

In being a bit sappy, I would like to dedicate this song to you and your wife for all those nights you may wonder what you got yourselves into.
I was in a McDonald's the other day looking over at a mom and her two sons...OK, she was pretty hot but that's not the point of the story. The boys were getting her a bit wound up and I thought, man, I wish I could go back to the days when my sons were that age. The are now 20 and almost 14. The older one has been off in the Marine Corps for two years now.
Trace Adkins - "You're Gonna Miss This"
She was staring out the window of their SUV
Complaining, saying "I can't wait to turn 18"
She said "I'll make my own money, and I'll make my own rules"
Mamma put the car in park out there in front of the school
Then she kissed her head and said "I was just like you"
You're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this
Before she knows it she's a brand new bride
In a one-bedroom apartment, and her daddy stops by
He tells her "It's a nice place"
She says "It'll do for now"
Starts talking about babies and buying a house
Daddy shakes his head and says, "Baby, just slow down"
Cause you're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this
Five years later there's a plumber workin' on the water heater
Dog's barkin', phone's ringin'
One kid's cryin', one kid's screamin'
And she keeps apologizin'
He says "They don't bother me.
I've got 2 babies of my own.
One's 36, one's 23.
Huh, it's hard to believe, but...
You're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this"

If I can make at least one person smile, or pee their pants a little, or maybe spit out their drink; then my day is not wasted.
Congrats Bubble, she's beautiful. Hold her often, reassure her just as often and hold your ground when she gets head strong (and she will) and she will be the Love and Joy of your life and will grow to be worthy of all the love you and SWMBO lavish on her.
Piece of advice for later... Get a shotgun, shoot the first boy who comes sniffing around and leave his carcass on the front porch. The rest will get the message...
I wish you and your SWMBO the best and I will tell you that I do not regret a minute of fatherhood, even with all the challenges it has presented over the last 27 years. My reqard for it... A new grandbaby due in November. I can't wait!!!!
