Sorry, that's how kids work. Just kidding .. congrats man. The first 6 months is hell.

Oh wait, wrong thread. I mean, congratulations :)

But for my wife and I, the first six months were easier than the next 18 after that. Maybe a SSS ... ;)

Congratulations on your newborn - hope you are all doing well.  What a great early Christmas present for you and your wife!  :-)

Again, congratulations!

Congratulations.

Congratulations!

But couldn't you have named her Sizemora?

I'm with those saying the first 6 weeks are the hardest, after that it is gravy until they start crawling. Unless they're colicky, which, God help you (my daughter was, it's not fun.)

But even when it's totally exhausting and you're holding that tiny little baby at 4am and begging her to go back to sleep, it's still totally awesome and worth every bit of sleep deprivation.

My daughter just turned 2 and we've got another one on the way. This may come as a shock to everybody here, but I have absolutely no plans to try to turn my kids into Cleveland sports fans -- we live in Chicago and I'll let them pick which teams they root for.

As long as it's not the White Sox.

But really, nobody should be forced to root for Cleveland teams if they don't have a darned good reason. I love my kids far too much to inflict that sort of pain on them.
