Many of us have deep ties to Boston and are distraught right now. 
Hold on tight to that beautiful baby and be grateful that she has no idea of what is going on outside.
to you and your family. 
Because whoever did this doesn't want you or your fellow Bostonians to.
My father's city.
our country.
for you, your wife, your daughter and your community.
You said this so well.
I know there are a flood of emotions going through your mind right now, but you are in the right place. You're a father now and your wife and daughter need you, but I can definitely relate to you feelings.My daughter was born two weeks AFTER Columbine--in fact, I had a doctor's appointment that day. I remember telling my doctor about my fear of bringing a child into the world and how I wish I could protect this child forever. Almost fourteen years later, as she sits and watches the coverage of this horrific tragedy,I find myself thinking those same thoughts again.
Take care and know you're not alone. Many thoughts and prayers...
Hopefully they will catch whoever is responsible and bring he/she/they to justice.
I saw the news on my work computer, I was born about three Kilometers from the scene of interest and have always had sense of "home" about Boston, spent my first two decades in coastal NE between southern ME and Cape Cod. I, too, am dealing with mixed feelings about this, none of them positive.
My thoughts and prayers for all of you there, but glad you have the self control to stay with your family in a safe location (I hope)...
I may be 2800 miles away but it's a "home" place for me and I am deeply troubled by this series of events. I hope the culprit(s) is/are found soon.
Prayers for you, your newborn daughter and all Bostonians right now.
And, as my husband went off to bed, I told him I had to come to DU to see how my Boston & marathon friends were.
Glad you're ok, and glad you have a wife and baby to keep safe and close-by. Staying home is sometimes good.
And sad.
to that Aqua Teen movie publicity stunt...

... you have to think of your family first. You would give your life for your friends and fellow Bostonians, but where would that leave your wife and new baby daughter? Alone. I notice that you posted this yesterday evening. Hope you have heard or been able to contact all your friends. Hugs to you and yours!
