* It's amazing how priorities suddenly change in a moment. As I looked into Katie's eyes for the first time, it struck me that everything but God and my wife just dropped a level on my priority list.
* Recently, I learned of the tradition of "push presents." I wondered what would make a good push present. Maybe a card? A gift for the baby? Now, I'm thinking maybe bowing down at Wife's feet in humble service for her great contribution would be more appropriate.
* Having children is a wonderful blessing (hey, I'm two days in...it's awesome). But it's a blessing that not everyone should experience. I recognize that parenting is a big responsibility. I have decided that having children should require passing a standardized intelligence test as well as passing a moral character and fitness examination. I, in my sole discretion, will determine and implement the criteria for these requirements. Looking around it seems that those with more children are less likely to pass these standards than those with fewer kids.
* Father's don't really get that much respect at the hospital. It feels like it is mother, baby and that questionable guy with them. Of course, the reasons why are obvious. It's just interesting to see that mindset throughout the process in both the medical staff and the hospital procedures.
* Wife and I are proud that Katie was born in a year that the Lakers are the World Champions of the NBA. That makes us a little too happy. It also makes us spend money at the NBA Store.
* Would it be inappropriate to quit my job and just gaze at Katie all day?
