Well... Naomi Elaine Craft is here. My daughter was born on 4-3-2008.. weighing in at 6 pounds 2 ounces. I admit that I didn't expect to be as involved in my wife's labor & delivery as I was. I'll spare you all the details, but yeah.. ya boy was coaching.. bracing legs.. etc. At 6:05 AM on 4-3-2008, my world literally changed and I almost lost it when she came.

She's home now and I'm experiencing real deal sleep depravation with a pinch of guilt. The guilt comes from the fact that I can't feed my child... biologically, it's impossible. So my wife HAS to wake up to feed her and I just want her to get a break. I mean, she JUST gave birth and she deserves a break.. but her energy is great and she's taking care of business (as usual). I've experienced changing my first diaper (and getting crapped shot out at me), burping her, reading to her, and it's oh so worth it.

I'll be giving you all updates periodically on my journey of being a new dad. I thank you all for giving me your eyes (ears). Email me or leave a comment if you have some advice for a brotha.
