Congratulations!!! I'm guessing You may be equally thrilled at watching the actual birth of Your Prodigy!!
I know I was for my 2 kids!!

Wait 'til you step on some plastic horsies and Lego's in a dark hallway in the middle of the night!! It's great! I created a new dance by doing this.

Congratulations. Your life will change dramatically. And for the better.

Congratulations! The best part is being able to play with toys, read children's books and see the latest kids films without people pointing and staring! I take full advantage of it. Only downside is once you've played in the mud, done finger painting and baked cakes your the one who has to clean the mess! Toddlers are not good with mops and babies just try and eat it

Average cost of raising a child hits $245,000
money.cnn.com...

NEW YORK (CNNMoney)
New parents be warned: It could cost nearly a quarter of a million dollars to raise your child -- and that's not even including the cost of college.
To raise a child born in 2013 to the age of 18, it will cost a middle-income couple just over $245,000, according to newly released estimates from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. That's up $4,260, or almost 2%, from the year before.

Estimates can vary widely depending on where you live and how much you earn.
High-income families who live in the urban Northeast, for example, are projected to spend nearly $455,000 to raise their child to the age of 18, while low-income rural families will spend much less, an estimated $145,500, according to the report.
