No matter how much everyone tries to explain it and no matter how much you think you are prepared, there is NOTHING that you can do to be ready for the emotions that you will feel when the Dr. first places your screaming baby girl in your arms.

It is a true miracle and there is no other way to describe it.

I had a little boy, but those feelings ain't no lie!

Paternity Leave?!?!?! After 36 hours of standing by my wife in labor, I was climbing rice silos for an audit client. I need to have a chat with my boss on the next one.
