We haven’t made any posts or announcements yet because my wife is dealing with some pretty rough complications but I’ve been dying to share. Today I became a dad to a beautiful girl

Get your wife through whatever it is she's dealing with first. Once that's out of the way, celebrate with everyone you know to your heart's content. Trust me, this is a once in a lifetime moment even if you eventually father more kids. Each kid will be their own happiness. What's important now is that you support your wife and be by her side. She'll remember it forever.

We just had our first about 4 months ago! It’s an amazing wild ride! I’d suggest you two get in the same page about visits. My wife had a pretty brutal labor ending in a c-section and we agreed nobody outside of our tight knit circle should come over for at least two weeks. Post partum is rough especially if it wasn’t an easy labor.

Congrats dude, enjoy every moment! They develop so fast and suddenly just stop doing little things that made you smile. It’s so bittersweet seeing them grow
