Well I am now a dad

["Turbo-T"]

Long story short the wife gave birth to our first child, a girl. 6 lbs 14 oz. and measuring 19 inches. Mom and baby are doing well. It's only day 2 but I seem to find myself with my baby girl more than I am on here, or working on the car or doing any of my hobbies for that matter.

Anyways I'm off to be with my little one. I'll be back on later.

Daddy's Lil Girl

[seeyabye]

Congrats! The greatest day of my life is when my daughter was born. She is so much fun now at 2 and a half, she loves my Buick. I have her a Simpson racing car seat.

 

[John Wilde]

Congratulations, she is a cutie.
I can't show this to my wife or she will want to try for a little girl.
My son will be 2 on Jan 3 and it seems like Sharon was just pregnant a couple months ago. Being a parent for the first time is a huge shock to the system but it is the most rewarding experience you will ever have.

When my first was born (girl too) I cried like a baby when I saw her come out (after I passed out of course). I drove them home in my wifes Bimmer at 10miles an hour:redface: . It is so true, that the first one is made up of glass and the second is made up of rubber. I never thought it was possible to love someone so much. Right now I am still on cloud nine with my kids. No matter how sh itty my day was at work or where ever I was, as soon as I open that front door the 2 kids come running to me and give me a big hug and kiss and ask me how my day was. And I always say, "its all better now". Enjoy, cause now life has real meaning.

 

[BetMinesFaster]

Congrats man! I just watched the vagina get ruined 10 months ago myself! Had a beautifull girl as well! She's already walking! man they grow up so fast!

 

[INEEDAGN]

Congrats. Our 1st is just shy of 11 months, just learning to walk. You hear about how they are the best thing ever and blahblahblah but it never sinks in until you hold her for that first time. I hardly look at my buick anymore, in fact I'm thinking of selling it, because I realized it doesn't take a cool car to make my life complete.

 

["Turbo-T"]

Thanks fellas. Yes I think the birth of my daughter has changed things for me. I was planning on doing a bunch of stuff to the Buick this winter, but now I'm thinking I don't want to miss a moment with my daughter, so the Buick might just have to wait. Thankfully it's still drivable if I want to take it out, but I did want to do some safety upgrades (powermaster replacement to vacuum brakes) and maybe a speedo and carpet swap.

Oh well. As mentioned at least it does run and drive. I hope when she gets to be a little older I can get her into doing daddy things, like building go-karts, then maybe graduate to building a cool car when she gets a little older.
