The reality of my girls being born is starting to hit home

[jgohlke]

I'll give you the same advice I give to every expectant father

Don't have girls.

....wavy video, harp music....fade to HS's house about 4 years from now.....

Daughter 1: Look at what I've got.
Daughter 2: It's Daddy's heart!
D1: Yeah, I just stuck my hand in his chest and ripped it out.
Mom: Why did you do that?
D1: Because I can!
D2: Let me play!
Mom: You girls quit that, give Daddy back his heart.
D1: In a minute, we aren't done playing with it.
D2: C'mon, let me play....

Dude...you are soooooo screwed!

I'm sure that by now it's been said, but your life is going to change dramatically and nothing you do will prepare you for it. Get some sleep, you're going to need it.

It probably didn't hit me until a few hours AFTER my daughter was born. Even though I was in the delivery room and watched her come out and get weighed, it wasn't until many hours later when I got to sit in the quiet room and hold her without any distraction when it finally sunk in.

For some, it comes sooner than that.....but that realization and EXTREME pride mixed with love happens to all us fathers, and I'm happy to see you going through it now. Having kids is the best thing to ever happen to me, and it really puts an exclamation mark on your life.

As a father of 16yo twin daughters, I can tell you it's a hell of a ride, wouldn't change it for anything in the world, but it ain't a piece of cake. As they get older and their bond strengthens, they become very good at good cop / bad cop, or i refer to it as a pack of wolves- one gets your attention while the other goes for the throat :laugh:

Fatherhood of girls, especially twins, is a wonderful thing.

Kids just make it all worthwhile. Have a lot of fun bro.
