Hi,

First time Dad here, living through the first 7 weeks of parenthood. (typing one handed/holding him/letting MOM get some sleep....)

I cannot describe the absolute amount of joy we have experienced...anyone else around the same situation in life?

"Small my table, it seats NOW THREE, got so crowded, oh lucky me"

More perfect words I could have never echoed....

Thanks
Brian

    HUGE congrats! :D

    Your post nearly brought a tear to my eye! :o

    Parenthood is an amazing thing. Cherish every moment and never forget that you created this beautiful life, together :)

    I can't wait to hold my own children in my arms. :)

    It gets better too. Wait until he is old enough to play baseball with, or take to a football game, or a concert, or camping or any number of things and see his reaction as he sees things for the first time. Mine's 10 right now. It is amazing to see what they turn into.

    And I am sure you have already heard this, but it really does go by fast.

    I couldn't agree more.Sadly and much to my regret I can't have children but I have experienced exactly what you describe with my niece and two nephews who I see a lot of,I am richly blessed to see them at least once a week and have taken them to many "first time" activities.Nothing beats the look on their faces and see the people they are growing into.But blink and its gone.

    Congratulations on becoming a dad for the first time.Three is indeed a magic number.

    How sweet!
    I have 8. Every day they make me wonder why I had any of them. And then they make me remember why I had all of them!
    My kids are my life, I seriously don't know how I could live without them.
