Eight Days
I’ve been a father for over a week now. I can’t put into the words the feelings that I’ve experienced in the past eight days.
The day after Maly was born I went home to have dinner with my parents. When I drove back to the hospital that evening I completely lost it in the parking lot. I put the truck in park and cried like I’ve never cried before. It was an awesome and surreal moment. Happy tears fell as the notion of “my daughter” sang in my head over and over.
I have a daughter. She is amazing.

Congrats Josh and Elise – nothing is quite so amazing, nothing is quite as cool as your own baby, is it??
Enjoy your first days and weeks – we hope to hear from you to see how you’re doing!
Best wishes,
Dan, Kerry, and Jack from Baby Time
[...] Then, after Jack’s nap, we headed to Josh and Elise’s to see Maly. A week later, and she’s still gorgeous. Just adorable. We ended up staying for dinner. Joanne (Elise’s mom) had pre-made strombolli, and since the weather was so nice, we ate out on the patio… mmmmm… great food and good company. After dinner, Josh and I took a walk around the block with the kids. Heh, kind of cool to write that: the kids. Funny that Christine and I will have “the kids” in 5 months or so. [...]
what a fantastic picture!
