Now I know what everyone means when they say you never know what's it's like to have a kid until you have one. It is impossible to describe.

I have a picture of my sister's kid from a couple years back where he's wearing a got milk? shirt and I thought "there's got to be something better" so I came up with "got boob?" as it seemed appropriate.

Pierce is my wife's last name (both her and I wanted her to keep her last name) and I love poking at society "norms" so the names we had picked out were "Pierce Spencre Wolf" for a guy or "Layla Jayde Pierce" for a girl. In the hospital they admitted my wife (and Pierce) under her last name so it was really confusing (but fun for me) to the staff.

One last thing I'd like to suggest to any of you future parents. Don't find out the sex of the kid. It was tough waiting it out but finding out what sex he was after the delivery was a large part of the awesome emotional blast we felt when he arrived.

I can't wait to post a picture of him with his first legal halibut.

Thanks again everyone!
