OT: Rough day yesterday, but today I woke up like this so it's all good

Did she give you a death stare and scream, "This is YOUR fault! You did this to me!!!"

I was expecting that, probably from having seen it in too many movies. Instead we bonded by hating on the anesthesiologist that bailed on us.

Finding a common enemy. Well done!

Congratulations brother! Being a girl dad is the most fulfilling aspect of my life. Hope it gives you the same result to you !

Congrats man! Best thing I've done in life is be a Dad.

Congratulations BrotherBlues.

I took over custody of my daughter when she was about 2, after I found out she was mine (her mom had a bit of a crack habit).
As ArchAngel007 said, raising a daughter is the most rewarding thing you will ever do.

I can honestly say I saved her from a miserable childhood and nothing can take that away form me.
She's 29 now and has almost 10 years in the Navy...working on her degree and officer's package. She's an instrument technician and served some time on the George H W Bush (carrier).
I pushed her into buying a townhouse in San Diego 2 years ago and she just sold it for about $100,000 profit (minus the 10 grand I loaned her for the down).
In the beginning kids are high maintenance...basically a gut and a toothless grin. The terrible 2's is a real thing. They basically lose their mind.
From 3 on they become interactive and wonderful. Hang in there.
I have this image in my mind of my daughter around 3 in her night gown wearing a plastic tiara, and dual cap pistols on her hips.
