Welcome Nolan! Weighing in at 7 lbs 5 ounces and scoring a perfect 9/9 on his APGAR test, he entered the world at 830 this morning with a mighty roar. Happy birthday to our champion son! Man, I have never felt an adrenaline rush like that before in my life. I have also never cried like that before in my life. Such a primal rush! Both baby and mom are doing great - they are napping and I'm riding an endorphin high that's taking me into low-earth orbit.

Now back to staring at him while he sleeps...

Congratulations to you and Lisa. May Nolan bring you joy and happiness, and a few of those moments you wonder why you had kids.

Welcome to parenthood. He's a handsome boy.

Yay! Another future pilot. :) Congrats. Don't worry when you come down from the high and feel overwhelmed; it only gets better from here. My first two years of having Matty around have been amazing.

Congrats to you and Lisa! Nolan is adorable. My wife gave birth to our first child on 9/30 (a daughter, Megan), so I very much appreciate the situation you're now in!
