Day 1 - Welcome to Planet Earth, Swaisie!!!

If you think that after already having four kids the fifth would be no sweat, you would be dead wrong. Not when the fifth is your first girl! It changes everything. Boys are easy, I know what to expect. But a girl ... I'm clueless! I knew I loved her before she was born. Some people like to blur the line of when life begins. I guess they didn't see my 4D ultrasound! I don't know how anyone could question that, but I am getting off track. When I first held her I had to fight back the waterworks. Hey, I can't have my new baby girl thinking her dad is some kinda softy! Well, don't anyone tell her! Anyway, it feels like I am doing it all over again. Back to square one. I have been trying to figure out girls for years, I know there's nothing that could prepare me for what lies ahead. My friends tell me that she'll have me wrapped around her finger. I know they're right. And I can't wait!
