Tim,
When I first married my wise old neighbour said a threepeny pie will cost you sixpence ie it was in the pound shillings and pence days here. Then so on until it cost two shillings me and Wilma and six children. Would not have it any other way.
Share with you your excitement of a beaut addition in the form of a little girl, man they have a way with Dads you will never understand to completely have you under their spell.
Congratulations are in order, wish your wife a speedy recovery as she progresses from pre delivery to normal, reassure her all the way with the increasing love children engender, marvel at your new creation she has just made an incredible journey, in my time they kicked out the fathers who were inclined to get in the way, faint or just be out of the room at delivery time. Some people video the whole thing never sure who they show later on but I know for sure we recognise each other by our faces.
Our eldest girl is Daddies girl over the last 55 plus years lives about as far away as Sanfrancisco to New York City phones in regularly, we have five girls and one boy not in that order straight from heavenly father to us, bear the responsibility well my friend is my prayer.
Kind regards Peter.
