PDA

View Full Version : The best Christmas gift I could imagine

Tuesday was a rather regular day. Went to work, paid the bills. Came home to see the wife and see how her and baby to be were. Had dinner, watched a movie, and then everything changed. I was letting the dog out when the wife came downstairs and said “I’m having contractions”. Gave the dog some water, grabbed the baby bag and headed to the hospital. After a few hours they determined her contractions weren’t close enough together so they sent us packing. Got home and took a power nap, then was told “it’s time to go back”. Off we went again. After a lot of labour and waiting for things to progress, Thursday at 3:11pm our lives changed. We welcome out first child, a precious little angel named Georgia into the world. Totally unexpected at just about 4 weeks early, but she is as healthy as can be. It’s a Christmas gift I never would have imagined.

I don’t think anyone can prepare for becoming a parent. It’s almost unbelievable how instantaneously your life changes when you see that little one for the first time. All I can say is, I could have never possibly imagined how amazing it feels to be a Dad.

Congrats. Being a Dad is the best. Although I must say being a Grampa is even better.
Enjoy that precious gift you have there and Merry Christmas to you and your new family!

Congrats. You talk about it changing things when you see your little one for the first time. Very true, for me that was nine years ago and boy did things change. I thank god every day for what I have.

We had our first when I was 20, it settled me down in a hurry. People said how much I would missing starting young. I don't have a single regret in the world about it.

This is my favorite kind of new thread! Congratulations on your little darling, let it be noted that it's not possible to overdose on smelling a baby's head. Now everything changes and priorities are re-aligned, welcome to the best part of life!

Congrats.

My girlfriends brother became a Dad 2 weeks ago and it’s been fun. Never would have thought him to change as much as he has. He hasn’t left the kids side.

Congratulations! That is one of the most amazing moments in your life! In what seems like three weeks from now, you'll be getting ready to sent her to college, and a week later you're walking her down the aisle at her wedding, followed immediately by the next most incredible moment, the first time you hold your new grandbaby.
And, it DOES seem to go by just that fast! Keep Georgia & her Mom as absolute top priority; Their happiness and well-being are yours to fulfill, first and always. She's a beautiful little girl!

Thanks to all, for all the kind words of encouragement and support. I’m still in awe, it’s hard to go to sleep instead of holding her close hah

Kid's! I remember those dam things, they cry and soil themselves for the first two years of their lives. Then they start walking and break things, the house is turned upside down for years and always noisy. They cost a large fortune to raise and you stay awake worried about them your whole live. Yep they are a pain in the ass:angry3: And I loved every second of it, and all that grab that came with it. My wife and I had two girls, they are our lives and my best accomplishment. Soon grand kids will be here I hope, so I can see it all again. If you thought you where living a great live before now, hang on, the best is yet to come. Congratulations lad, you'll love be a DAD.:)
