Congratulations! I know you will hear it many times, but the time FLIES by. All of the sleepless nights will be forgotten in a couple of years. Enjoy this time COMPLETELY.

I used to love to get up in the middle of night for the feedings. Some truly quality time. Plus, doesn't get much better than reclining in a charge with the little one asleep on your chest.

You haven't lived until your little one barfs all over you while you're relaxing with him/her on the recliner....or when you're wiping up a loosey poopy diaper mess and the cute lil' bugger lets fly a fart worthy of Blazing Saddles.

Congratulations, Dad!

My advice:

Babies cry. I'm serious, say it three times in a row...babies cry. Accept it and everything else is gravy.

 

[Uncle Rico]

If they cry:

1. hungry
2. change diaper
3. burp them
4. they are tired

that's your checklist. if those 4 things don't work there's nothing you can do about it other than rock them and deal with it.

congrats!
