Became a dad for the first time!!!

Congrats, it's the best thing you'll ever do. It's also the hardest, but believe me, it's made up for many times.

I was in the same boat... first time father at a few days before 40 years old.

Most consoling thing I can say for the days ahead are that the really hard times... they go fast. Those first few months are the hardest, but they get easier. But the converse is true also. You'll be sitting there holding her as a helpless baby, thinking there will be many more times like that, but they go SO fast. You will miss all those moments. Treasure each and every one of them.
