Dude I photograph weddings on the side. Right after Ainsley was born I was shooting a wedding and it got to the father giving away the bride and I about lost it! I I kept it cool on the outside but my head was spinning! I'm so not ready for that.

 

I missed the name the first time. That's a cute name. Sounds like a silver screen movie star lol.

Kudos for not giving her 4 middle names, like so many do now.

 

I've got three girls and a boy. My oldest daughter is on her third tour in Afghanistan right now. She was born on Ft. Hood when I was in the Army, back in '91. They grow up WAY too fast.

 

Congrats on the new addition! I've got a 2 year old and another on the way. Like many others have said, it goes by way too fast! Enjoy every moment...

 

Congrats! I have four myself, 12, 10, and 5 month old twins. Luckily, mine are all boys It does go by fast. Enjoy every minute of it, even at 4:00AM.

 

congrats!!-i know you are enamored with yer precious lil girl, but do-not neglect Mom, she has been thru hell and now more than ever she needs your attention and support!!!


2 kids and 29 yrs of marriage here!

 

This is so true. She'll feel ugly and fat and she needs you to yell her that you love her and she's gorgeous. She'll need you to tell her that yes things will be.different but you guys will still make time for each other.

 

This one is huge not for just your wife, but also for your child(ren), They need to see that Mom and Dad are the family nucleus and that everything is okay. Set this tone, and family issues will be less and easier to get through when they come up. I've seen it countless times. If mom and dad are strong, the family is strong.

And Frank (SeriousOffroad), that list is awesome!

 

I'd love to take credit for it, but a friend found it and put it on his FB page.
