Congratulations to you and to all of you new parents!
Babies. Sigh. They’re so wonderful.
Also: the first 6-8 weeks can be brutal. It gets better.
This is always the coolest thing in the world. Congratulations!
Thank you, everyone, for all of your kind thoughts. Joe is now a day old, and I visited him and my wife this afternoon. Nothing compares to this - I have no words to express it. Hes perfect - hes beautiful. Shes perfect - shes beautiful. Me - I want to stand on the roof and tell the world, “I have a beautiful wife and son”. Thank you again.
I understand how you feel. The following is something I wrote when my son was born:
I wonder if he knows all the love for him I feel?
I find it hard believing that this miracle is real.
My lovely wife just gave birth to a handsome baby son.
I know that you can’t tell it yet, but I love you, little one.
This tiny, little being…how can he change me so?
What makes me feel so happy that I’ll get to watch him grow?
What makes my heart swell up with pride to know that I’m his dad?
What makes the tears come to my eyes when holding this sweet lad?
I’m making you a promise to be the best dad I can be.
I’ll always be there for you. You can always count on me.
But, I’ll be right back now, buddy, I’m ‘bout to pop with joy.
I’ve got to go and yell to the world…
It’s a boy! It’s a boy! It’s a boy!
