I'm a daddy!

[dabuddha]

I'm finally a daddy!

Our daughter was born April 1st. She's 8 weeks premature (3lbs 9 oz) but she's doing good. She's breathing on her own and has been unhooked from everything (IVs, lipids, etc). She'll be in the NICU for roughly another 4 weeks so they can fatten her up some.

It still hasn't sunk in yet but I'm sure it will once she comes home.

Yeah I know. I called my sister at about 2:30AM when I was flooring it to the hospital and told her I was on the way. She calls back at 3:30AM thinking that it was some elaborate April Fools joke lol. I had to put a nurse on the phone to convince her that I wasn't making it up

not to question you on your awesome day, but are you sure about that?

i've never heard that growing up.

edit: did some google searching; might be fine, names aren't used in normal speech (im an idiot). hahahaha

My wife/sister/mom said it is. What we did is my wife came up with a big list of boy/girl names (we didn't know what we were having) and then I started going through the list and removed any names that kids could possibly make fun of lol. I'm sure they can probably make something up with Yamini but then her daddy will be there to beat them up
