Oh, wow!! Congratulations!! And now I *know* you have nothing to apologize for!! Being a new father trumps EVERYthing, even Black Rapid straps!
Welcome to the amazing, thrilling roller coaster ride called Parenthood!! It's fun, it's exhilarating, it's terrifying, it's exciting. Sometimes it can make you feel kinda sick, it's definitely disorienting from time to time, at some point you might just wonder why you ever got on the ride to start with, and then suddenly, one day you'll wake up and say, "Hey, let's do it again!" LOL
Best ride of my life.
