My beautiful bride gave birth do a baby boy this past Wednesday-- Palmer Mitchell. Got home last night and am hoping to have a celebratory cigar Sunday afternoon to celebrate.

So who here has kids? Any words of wisdom for a new father?

Andy, congrats. Nice name too.

Words of wisdom: If you want to be sleeping through the night by about six weeks, get the book "Baby Wise". Who says they don't come with a manual?

Congratulations!

As for advice... Sleep when the baby sleeps. It is the only way to stay sane in the first few weeks.

Congratulations! Having Children is the greatest gift of all. At times it can be difficult so don't dwell on those times. Understand that things will change.

And thus my advice: Don't get used to anything - good or bad - it will change.

The crying will stop. The fear over each and every sniffle will end.

Just enjoy every moment. Enjoy the journey.

Congratulations

As a father of 3 and grandfather of 5 I can only say, love them, treat them like precious gems and never raise your fist except in self defense.

First, congratulations!!

I have a boy (3) and twin boys on the way in a matter of weeks.

As others have said...love them. Everyday will bring at least one moment that makes all the sleepness nights and tension worth it all. It may be a look or a sound, but it will be there.

Last night my boy bumped his knee and had that look that said he could go either way. Knowing he wasn't "hurt-hurt" I immediately said rub some dirt on hit (not the first time) and he reached down into the carpet, pretended to grab some dirt and rubbed his knee with it, smiled and kept playing.

His grandparents were in town and just though it was the funiest thing...

Anyone with children can go on and on with stories.....just enjoy it. The saying is true. they do grow up fast.

Congrats! there is no better joy than being a dad


"Cuban seed tobaccos grown in Nicaragua and Cuba. The wrapper would be from Cuba. The binder leaves would be from Nicaragua. For the ligero tobacco in the filler, he would use two types, one from Esteli and the other from Jalapa in Nicaragua. The other filler components, seco and viso, would come from Cuba, the former from Villa Clara, the latter from Pinar del Rio. That Cigar, he says with pride, would score 100 points."
