    GIRL!!! :nana:

    She is due at the end of April. :) I hate how everyone is asking if I was hoping for a boy. Well, kinda/sorta in a way but I'm just as pleased wth a girl. I think every guy hopes for a boy deep down. Not to sound too cliche, I just want her to be healthy. AND I just hope she will have the same love for the outdoors as I do. BUT thats a few years away.

    If you guys (parents) had one tip to tell a new father, what would it be? It doesn't necessarily have to apply to newborns. Anything at all.

    Congrats, Finch!! I actually would like one of each some day. Since I don't have any right now, I can't help you with the advice.

    Congrats!

    A week after the baby is born, you will think you know a new meaning to being tired. A month in, you will know you had no idea what tired was.

    On the serious side:
    *Get started on the baby proofing sooner than later.
    *Take good care of momma, 'if she's not happy...'
    *Establish routines, when she is born. Routine becomes your best friend, especially bed-time routines.

    Thanks guys! I have a bathroom to finish remodeling and then will start on the nursery. Can't wait until she grows up a bit. This kid will have the best playhouse around. I love to build things so these won't be a problem!

    Good idea and one I've thought about too. I work with a guy that has 8 sisters. He was child #9.

    Practice extreme patience in everything concerning mother and daughter. Listen more than talk.
