Meet Madz Michael James Johnson. Big Chungus at 9lbs, 2oz. This is my most important project yet. I will not be parting in this one out. This is forever.
Our first moment alone, I said (Astronaut Allen B.) Shepherd's prayer: "Oh, Lord, please don't let me berkeley up."
Congratulations! Recognizing that you don't want to berkeley up goes a long way toward not berkeleying up, so you'll be fine.
Congrats. Lil Stampie taught me so much as a human much less as a Dad. You now are committed to the project forever.
Big chungus indeed. Congrats!

"You built it"? Contributed, yes, but you're taking the credit for something "she" built.
Congrats!

You just provide the Appleseed.

That you worry about making mistakes is a good sign.
Hold him while you can, time flies, make the most of it.
I remember the nurse handing me our first born. My brain was screaming "No, you don't understand how incredibly immature I am!"
I actually said, to SWMBO, "I really hope you know what to do because I'm berkeleying useless when it comes to this stuff". She still tells that story every opportunity she gets.
Had to come back and edit because my first line was supposed to be congrats but your picture brought back a flood of memories that got me sidetracked.

I remember us walkin out to the car from the hospital, with this one bit of extra baggage. The surreal is still so, so vivid. Congratulations. And like everyone else said, time is just gonna start *flying* by so enjoy every minute.
Most excellent. I wish your family all of the best!
Madz. We wanted a Scandinavian name. She shot down Thor right away. We found Madz, which is a variation on Mats, which is a variation on Mathew.
My parenting philosophy I think comes from the Talking Heads song Niave Melody: " ...We'll make it up as we go along. "
Congrats!!! know ya'll will have lots of good times together
