Early this morning at 4:40a.m., my wife gave birth to our 1st child!!!!!!!!! A boy..Nicholaus Patrick..weighing in at 8 lbs 5 oz....21 1/2 inches. Both mom and child are doing absolutley awesome. All I can say is WOW, what an experience. I've tried to think about what it would be like and there's no way that I can put into words how I'm feeling. Just so very proud for this new little person that's in my life. I can't also put into words what my wife had to go through. Pain, Frustration, Joy, Sadness, Tears and Happiness. All I can say is....What a damn trooper and what a women!!!! Sorry for rambling, but.....

Thanks,
Pat
