Observations of Fatherhood

I have a wonderful relationship with God (always improving), a wonderful wife, and a beautiful (currently screaming) baby Ellie. Life comes with challenges but these three elements of my life make it more than worth it. I've realized a few things since I've become a father.
-I get just under one year now to earn father's day
-I need to get Vanessa her own cell plan or get an additional job $$$$$$$
-I carry as much stuff for Ellie as I do for the Army (rucks need wheels like strollers)
-Vanessa is actually superwoman in disguise
-Ellie poops a lot and on a lot
-0 time belongs to me
-The washing machine will never stop running again
-I can't spend a week in a hospital room doing nothing and then run 5 miles without almost dying

Just a few observations. I'm sure more will follow when Ellie has more that 2 days at home. I'm really glad that I get a strange sense of accomplishment from otherwise unfavorable circumstances.
