Thanks guys. I appreciate all of your kind words. The hardest thing so far has been trying to convince my wife and her family that what I'm doing while not perfect and even a little silly isn't going to kill him. I can seem to do anything right, 

PSD - for the benefit of all us prospective parents out there, could you outline some of the issues that have come up?

when you have time, of course, I realise you're prob quite busy right now... 

I wasn't 1. holding right 2. picking him up right 3.Cleaning him right 4. feeding him right 5. cooling his bottle right 6. helping my wife sit up or move around right 7. my body was too hot to hold him as much as I wanted to. ( this one had some merit as his internal furnace seems to be set as high as mine. 8. I probably wasn't breathing right either. I think that about covers it. Oh wait... 9. I wasn't washing the dishes right and 10. I think I wasn't washing his bed cloths right either.
Did I miss anything? 

Congratulations, man! 

I know exactly how you're feeling 

congrats on the adorable little chat. I remember the awesome feeling even though for me it was 23 years ago. I still look on my kids with awe! Its amazing... 

sorry mistyped in my excitement "adorable little CHAP" 

The last two days have been much better. They seem to know I'm not really the clumsy fak they've grown to love. 

glad to hear it 

We'll be having our little girl around the middle of November.  I had Mrs. Casey let her mother, sisters and brothers know that when it comes to raising the child, MY WORD IS LAW!!!!!!! and woe unto anybody who raises the ire of  Papa Grizzly Bear .

I'm already practicing my EVIL BARBARIAN SCOWL and GROWL  to use on some "High Level Party Member Muckety-Muck's Little Emperor (BRAT)" of a son is trying to bully her because she is mixed blood.

This is so wonderful! Congratulations!!!
