You've just accomplished the greatest thing you've ever done...or will ever do.

My little girl has absolutely been the pleasure of my life. Nothing even comes close. I can unequivocally say that she is the first and only true love of my life.

I always just assumed I would only spawn a boy, due to the fact that I'm so damn masculine. But I can absolutely see now why it was meant for me to have a girl. She changed my life completely, a full 180. I look back now and can't even recognize the guy I used to be. And in hindsight, that's a good thing.

Enjoy this time, especially these first few days and weeks. It's a feeling you'll never be able to replicate.

Congrats, pal.
