Born early Thursday morning. A whopping 9lbs 5oz. He looks like he's got huge muscular arms already, just like his daddy.

Just going by my baby's first day, if they are born in the morning, they'll sleep the day away, and keep you up at night (private room at the hospital, so I stayed there with my wife and son). I have to go find my sleep now, I seem to have misplaced it.

Congrats Buff....nothing like the birth of your own children to turn an otherwise tuff hombre into a blubbering crying mess.

That's great! Big congrats.

I don't have any kids of my own, and hopefully won't for many years to come, but my niece was born almost a year ago (December 15th), and that was quite the experience for me. I can only imagine what it must feel like when you know the kid is your own.

Once again, congrats. Go get some sleep, you'll need it.

As for myself, I shall go buy some breakfast now. B-)

Congratz!

The only recommendation I'll make is to pick up a book called The Baby Whisperer. I found it very helpful in the first 6 months.

Books won't solve your problems, but it will give you options and perspectives that have worked for others, which gives you things to try and look for with your guy to find out what works.

Mine's just over 14 months now and let me tell you, it gets to be lots of fun a lot earlier than I expected!

Congrats to a fellow Crappy Tire survivor... just tell your son it's a character builder when you send him to work there...
