I'll bet ya, that he gets her a wrench-shaped soother! And this young lady will grow up with the wagon tradition in her bones. Now that's classy.
thanks guys, we just got home...putting her down for a lil bit, so far, she is a sleeper. but we will see. tom, someday you will meet the right girl and i hope you have that feeling. it really is indescribable....to me its like riding on the beach in my old jeep with the doors off (until delaney, it was the best moment of my life) x2000. to me, the suprising part is that the dad instinct snaps right into place as soon as she comes out. i was really weary of changing diapers, dont really have a problem with it now. this couldnt have gone better, we had the Lords blessings here. Delaney is healthy, Jenny is healthy. rev, i was joking later that night saying "now look what i did!" norm, they make wrench shaped soothers?, my buddy mike (scoob8000 on the impalassforums) bought her a 427 big block night light!
Congrats and Good luck. It's great being a Dad. Get the sleeping monitor, it will give you piece of mind for sids. We are still using ours on our two and a half year old.

Ha, thanks! I will be coming to you and all the other dads here for advice. And by the way, the slideshow was great!
BTW just in case anyone was curious we named her Delaney Marie Delaney :after Jimmy Buffett's song "Delaney talks to statues" he wrote about his daughter. Marie: its my wifes middle name she is Jennifer Marie and i always loved her middle name.
classy moves there pal i am stoked that your stoked for some reason...all i can think of is that old joke "the doctor pulls the baby out... ...spanks its arse... and says..while shaking his finger at the baby... ....Dont you ever go in there again!!...".... thank you...i'll be here every Friday....try the tenderloin
ya know, yesterday my dad came up to visit. he couldnt be there when delaney was born because he had chemo. my dad was diagnosed with terminal stage 4 lung cancer in june. the hopes and thoughts of his first grandchild were reason enough to for him to fight like hell. when my dad (were talking a guy that owned a car dealership in tallahassee and pompano beach....ive never seen him cry..ever ) held my daughter....he cried for a half hour.....that made my week!
