I'm a little late but congratulations! We need details! Length, weight, hair, eyes.... looks like mom or dad?

[Luke]

7 lb. 4 oz, 20.5 inches long, looks like dark dark blue or brown eyes, long medium brown hair with a little bit of a wave. Eyes, brows and chin like daddy... nose, lips and cheeks like mommy.

She's a cutie...

She's awesome!!!!

Very cute little baby! *sigh* Our youngest just turned five and it's getting harder to think of him as our baby boy anymore. You're going to be very busy, but try to enjoy it while you can, it goes by so fast.
Congrats again!

[Karried]

Oh Luke! Your pics brought tears to my eyes!

I'm like Madmonk.. my babies have grown so fast I can hardly remember when they were this little.

She is just beautiful! Now you know why daddy's are wrapped around their little girl's fingers don't you? Have you ever felt this happy before in your life?

Luke, share this with your wife.... I love it.

Before I was a Mom I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom - I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put them down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom - I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.
Before I was a Mom - I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom.

I think this applies to new daddies too!

What a sweet, sweet baby! That is such a great picture, too!
Congratulations again to you both!
