Louisiana public school education, huh?
Age 40, average HS graduation age is 18, he'll be ~68 when that happens. You over thought it.

Congratulations!
Advice: I can't stress this enough. Start a daily journal. Get in the habit of jotting down something every day. Something she did that made you laugh, every new thing she does, etc. It only needs to be a couple sentences. Just put SOMETHING down. You think you're going to remember everything, but there's so much happening, and you'll be exhausted. Down the road the journal itself will be very special, but it will also be a critical resource when you finally get around to filling out the official "baby book."
You'll only regret not doing it.

Congrats. Little girls are a delight to raise.
Never let a video and photo moment pass. Looking back on those will be a complete joy. Kinda like a Time Machine.
Oh yeah,… start a gun collection.

Any OT advice on the first few weeks of fatherhood is greatly appreciated
Take care of the wife and then put another one in her as soon as she's ready.
Congratulations. I would die in a fire for my kids if I had to. It's the most powerful feeling on earth.

Congratulations!
I only had one child and I was so happy he was a son. He turned 44 last week.
As happy as I was that my only child is a boy, I’m happier that my two grandchildren are girls. They have old granddad wrapped around their little fingers. Your daughter will do the same for her Dad.
Enjoy the experience - it goes by so fast!
God Bless.

1. Don't waste your life wishing for the next phase to start.
2. You know what to do by instinct. You can and will be a good parent.
- Commit to being the Dad that you want your daughter to remember. Because you don't get to have a do-over. So, commit to making the sacrifices now, no matter how hard, to be her hero.
It's easy to think: oh, I can't wait for when they can start walking. or going to the bathroom themselves. or get dressed on their own. Or get on the school bus. or.... etc.
And before you know it, they are gone out of the house, and you'd give anything to have that time back.
Diapers suck. Embrace the suck. One day the diapers will be gone, but you'll miss the sweet baby giggles.
So, when you get no sleep. or you have to clean up poop in the tub. or vomit all over the bedroom in the middle of the night.
Or when you can't take a poop on your own without them standing there next to you.
That too, is a gift. Where they need you, and you are there for them.
You mean everything to them. And one day it won't be that way.
But if you truly embrace that each step of the way has its own beauty and challenges. You won't look back on your life with sadness. You'll have savored each day, and you'll have those special memories that you get to keep forever in your heart that will fill you with happiness.

Your job as a father is to make sure she knows what good music is, period. I am always so proud when my daughter in college listens to a great song or brings home a great album. Start them young.
Seriously, congrats. That is truly what life is all about.
Now go open a 529.

The worst thing that can happen is when that first bag of softball equipment comes home, you can kiss that white wedding goodbye
That means she officially likes women
