Super big congratulations man!
Truly nothing like being a father. Really. If there is any little part of you that likes kids, or you find them cute or whatever, just wait. Having your OWN kids is the biggest blessing in life. Not to sound cliché, but you really won't find anything else as rewarding (and sometimes painful) as being a dad.
My best wishes!
As for the giveaway. If you draw my number, please choose another one! It's a beautiful knife that I'd love to own, but if you sent it to me I would have to turn around and give it to someone I know that deserves one more. If you're okay with that I'm in.

Congratulations! That is terrific news!
It seems like so long ago that our only son was born. Here's a pic of him as a cute baby...
And here he is now, graduated from high school and going to college in the fall...
Enjoy the time with your children while they are young. Before you know it, they will be moving out on their own. I guess they do grow up quickly, maybe it's just me that's getting old...

Oh, since we're putting up pics, here's my latest addition. First feeding, and with a spoon that I carved just for her.

Congratulations, and thanks for the great giveaway!
I was gifted a similar knife (Case medium stockman, different covers) by sitflyer so will pass on the chance at this one, but wanted to add my best wishes as well.
Here I am (19 years ago now) with my third baby, the point at which my husband and I realized we were officially outnumbered:

Congratulations Dan! Count me in.
When you married your wife you became a couple, the addition of your child makes you a family.
Our girls are 13 and 11 now and I remember like it was yesterday seeing my firstborn's first ultrasound. Man, time flies!

Thanks for the entries and the well-wishes everyone! Some very wonderful pictures have been posted thus far. FES, that young lad seems so excited... Well, maybe that isn't the right word for it... 
Pertinux, that's a great pic! Baby and Momma both look so happy! Very nice. Oh, and by the way, Katie and I sat down last night and decided that we ARE going to attend the rendezvous at GEC! I don't know if we're going to get there on Friday, but we'll definitely be there Saturday morning. I hope we can meet (along with so many others here)!

I may not be a regular contributor, but this is something that cannot be ignored. My children are the most important thing to me. I remember just like it was yesterday that first time you hear that heart beat. That steady swish swish swish... Me and my wife still make that noise to each other playing around and it still brings an enormous smile to both of our faces. It is something I will never forget as long as I live...
Thanks for bringing a smile to my face today reminding me of that beautiful sound.
