Re: ZOMG, FATHERHOOD
Trufun I hope all went well yesterday for you and your wife. I'm sure you're extremely busy with the new cherub but make sure to post pics as soon as you can. Happy holidays!

Re: ZOMG, FATHERHOOD
Thanks for the kind words, guys! Holy crap it's been a busy 2 weeks! Lillian (Lily) Belle Bryant was born 12/22/2009 @ 10:40PM. She weighed 6 lbs 1 oz and was 19.5 inches long. (she's itty bitty!)
Words cannot describe the feeling of being a daddy. Holding her for that first time was amazing. (I have video of me completely losing it and boo-hooing like no other when she was born) But I'll tell ya this....it's exhausting! She's up every 1 to 2 hours to eat, and it takes about 40 minutes to feed her. Rather than my wife and I trying to both sleep at the same time, we take shifts. She stays up with her from 11:00PM to 3:00AM, then I stay up with her until I have to go to work. Supposedly in about 11 weeks she'll start sleeping through the night - can't wait!
As promised, here are some pictures:

Re: ZOMG, FATHERHOOD
Congrats on the birth of your baby! Being a father is one of the greatest things in the world!
My wife and I had our first baby in August and it has been great! Enjoy every moment you have with her because time flies through the first weeks and months. It's unbelievable how quickly they develop and learn to do new things. Each time brings a great amount of joy when my daughter learns to make a new sound, or learns to interact with something in a new way.
Again congrats! And I hope she starts sleeping through the night quicker than that for you!!!

Re: ZOMG, FATHERHOOD
Oh mai god congrats!! 
She is very cute, and I second the notion of being able to sleep through the night sooner then you hoped for. Perhaps an early Christmas present from 2010

Re: ZOMG, FATHERHOOD
Wow, she is adorable. Congrats to you both on your amazing newborn and yes, they do eventually sleep through the night and it's a thing of amazement when they do. Congratulations again!

Re: ZOMG, FATHERHOOD
So which will make it to the world first? Elysian Shadows HD or Falco 2.0?
