First thoughts as a father

Over at Babble, Charlie Capen has a very nice set of responses from over 26 dads on what their first thoughts were when they saw their child.  I missed the deadline to be asked, but thought I'd answer the question anyway.  (Hey, it's my blog)

Happy Father's Day everyone!  The end result of your wife's pregnancy looks a little like this:
