Yeah, so we just finished up and are relaxing in the postpartum room. My god, it was a messy process there at the end.
But I got the little redhead girl I wanted, so my wife and I are very happy.

That's wicked. I'm so happy that you're that! You guys have a new family member and are doing well. It's a really weird experience becoming a dad. You know your wife is going to have a baby. You're somewhat prepared for this life-changing experience, then someone hands you a baby.
One of the things that most people don't tell you is that as a dad, you've had no time to bond with your kid. Your wife is had 9 months however feeling every little flutter every little kick. Don't worry about not connecting with your kid right away. It'll happen.
