Congratulations! I just yesterday popped at the first own place of mine, to hook up the TV. They grow so damn fast, cherish the moments.

I know this feeling. She will always be your little girl.
Congrats! Wife and I just had our first last week, a little boy. If you would like someone to talk to going through a similar experience feel free to let me know. If you are like me you have a dozen grandparents and aunts/uncles interjecting nonstop so focusing on hockey as a bit of an escape is nice.
Thank you all for the well wishes!
Congrats to you as well!! Both a blessing and a curse of COVID, it’s just us here in the hospital. After 36 hours of labor it was an unplanned C section (my wife deserves an award and a vacation), so we’re here a few more days than planned which is bittersweet. We would love to see everyone and show her off but also we’re insulated from all that to some extent (for the time being), not to mention an army of night nurses for when we’re tired. Some family members have been graciously very conscious of not doing that but it can’t be said for everyone, I’m sure that’ll ramp up once we’re home.

Congrats to you as well. Lots of new Caniacs!
Congratulations to you and your wife! I hope everyone is doing well.
Here I was thinking our 24 hours of induction and standard birth were rough. You and your wife are troopers. The COVID distancing is a blessing and a curse. Lean on the nurses and try to intake all the information you can. I know we were told 100 different things 100 different ways so it is all about finding a balance and what works for your family unit.

Congrats. I have 2. Enjoy her while she is young, because you start to get sad that they are no longer young when they grow up.

Come on guys, our older daughter isn't even 3 yet and you're already making me sad. I'm probably going to see her one day when she's like 30 and have some flashback to a time when she was running around the house with her underwear on her head.
But yes, be deliberate about enjoying every stage. Each one happens fast, especially in the early years... and when it's over, it's over. Take in as much as you can every day.
Man, I remember when you were in high school. Life comes at you fast! Congratulations.
Like others have said...enjoy it. Regardless of how it seems in the moment, it goes fast. We’ve been looking at old pictures and videos of our kids lately (they’re 11 and 7) .... and we are a little bit sad. It’s not that we didn’t cherish it, but we simply can’t believe it’s gone so fast.
Congrats again.

Congratulations, but do you live in some kind of weird commune?

This is Hurricanes Hockey
I've been awarded Old-Timer Trophy because I have been here 10 years. Congrats to me on this monumental achievement!
On another note, it's crazy to think that when I joined this board, Justin Peters was Cam Wards backup.

Those little boys and little girls will always be your cherished children....even when they become pains in the ass and refill the empty nest.

On a very similar note, I saw my first vaginal birth on Monday. No complications, quite a quick one. Fairly stressless way to enter the world.
...
On a related note. School is back and other than everyone being masked it’s fairly normal. But I really miss working. I need more of that “feeling useful” drug.
...
On an unrelated note, I returned from a bar quiz, slightly tipsy just to find my tenant/flatmate in a state of an absolute mess because she found out from her sister her mother basically stole her money. This meant she was more drunk than me. Also that I had to console her, because staying awake drunk is the last thing to help her.
So it ended up with me going with her in my pajamas to buy cigarettes at a near bar only to find out two things. Bars close at midnight. And she’s really afraid of the dark. (In an ironic twist, since I love night and the dark. I study and write at night. It soothes me.)
...
And last but not least at the Thursday training (I play floorball, wuss version of hockey played in the gym). We had a 1v1 excercise and I was the attacker. My defender was notably shorter, but a lot stronger, so I am using my reach, trying to get ahead of him by making quick partial spins switching from forehand to backhand... and suddenly he falls down.
Got no clue what happened, but I get a free shot at the net so I go ahead and shoot the ball.
What I eventually found out was that he attempted to hipcheck me, but as I was transferring my weight, the angular part of my femur got exposed, and he ran straight to my bone and “stabbed” himself.
This might give you a picture how skinny I am.

Have they gotten so drunk they got naked at a strip bar (where they went just for a beer) because the stripper didn’t believe their claims about nudity?
