My wife gave birth to our first child. My Son was born on my fathers birthday. He is also the 6th so it was awesome to get the picture of my father, my son, and myself(4th, 5th, and 6th). 

It has been a crazy 9 months but seeing him come into the world healthy and with no complications was one of the happiest moments of my life.

My wife and I also finalized the purchase of our first home in January. So this has been a hectic start to the year. But it has honestly been an amazing experience.

The Jaguars just got a new fan.

@Hope you stocked up on sleep in 2019@

Congrats, and yeah, joy to the point of tears hit me too when our first was born. It's crazy how that shared birthday thing lines up. So many days in a year, and things line up just right. Our daughter shares a birthday with her great-grandmother, so we got to do the 4 generations in one photo.

Here's to continued health for mom and baby alike. Do your part, change all the diapers and let mom get the rest she needs!

PS  You will soon discover the "crazy" time has just begun...…....

For sure. I explain to young soon-to-be parents, including my own kids, that becoming a parent for the first time changes everything. They always say ‘they know’, but they really don’t. It’s a wonderful, exhausting and exciting time. It’s…crazy.

You quickly learn the value of naps. For the first few weeks, I don't think either of us slept for more than 2 or 3 hours consecutively.

Then, that first time the baby sleeps longer than 3 hours....."OMG, is he okay? Check to see if he's breathing! How is he not starving?"
