On Monday November 30th my wife gave birth to our very first daughter Cadence Reid Young.  She tipped the scales at 7lbs 15oz and she is absolutey incredible.

A few things I’ve learned so far…

- It is amazing how quickly you can fall absolutely in love with someone you’ve just met.

-  It is equally incredible to discover that the woman you love is as amazingly strong as she is.

- Babies and sleep are mututally exclusive.  (And I thought I’d never need that math stuff from highschool.

- Labor is harder than any workout you’ve done…EVER.

- If men had to give birth, I think our population would be much more sparse.

- A newborn’s stomach is approximately the same size as those of people who get the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery.

- And finally…I am blessed to have the family that I do.

Thanks to all of you who follow my blog.
