It is official, I'm now a dad

Apex · March 22nd, 2015, 06:25 PM

We just had our daughter just before 5am on Saturday. It was exhausting, but we could not be happier!

7lb 4oz, 19 3/4"

She was born at 37 weeks, so she wasn't quite at the 8lb mark.

My world has changed, but I think for the better!

Oh we do, Leap pad ultra, books, plenty of toys that grandparents have spoiled her with, along with a multitude of other thing. She is just at that age where she feels she knows more than us and wants to be independant, which is a good thing, but hearing "No!" all day long get's a little old. Only thing that seems to work with the No's is to take favorite toys and privilages away, just have to deal with a short tantrum, but ususally will learn quickly that when she is being bad she gets things taken away, which sucks. She is also at that age where you still can't take your eyes off her for 2 minutes or something in the house is getting colored on with markers, i.e. walls, couch, the cat....

All grown up? BAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

She is my excuse to act like a kid.

Apex · March 25th, 2015, 06:07 PM

Thanks everyone! So far so good! She has been doing great and been so awesome. Currently we have been working together to tackle things around the house. She tackles the laundry, and I make sure her bottles are cleaned and refilled.

This little one owns me.

Exactly! The other day day I let my 4 year old pick out any toy she wanted (from the cheapo toy aisle in Walmart, $5 and less ) and to my Amazement and glee she picked Sea Monkey's! Been 25 years since I have helped bring a school of these microscopic sea bugs of awesomeness to life. Could barely contain my excitement! You have chosen wisely my Girl!

congrats, there is nothing more life changing then the realization that there is something more important than you...

and as my mom used to say, good thing babies are cute, keeps them from getting killed, and eaten.

and in only 20 years you will be able to go on rides together. Less if mom will let you buy a helmet and gloves for her when she is 10 or 12.
