Mom is fine and undergoing post op, Dad is a bit weary. We will be coming home sometime tuesday.

Pics, we need pics. Title: Re: Say hello to my leeetle friend! Post by: Mr_Vindictive on February 10, 2007, 07:56:29 PM Congratulations Ed!!!!
You're life will never be the same from this point on, and you'll realize that you've never been happier. I'll never forget when my daughter was born. I got to spend a few minutes with her after my wife's c-section, and the first thing my daughter did was reach up and grab my finger. She was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen. Couldn't stop crying for a few minutes after. Anyway, once again Congratulations! As Andrew said, we need pictures! Title: Re: Say hello to my leeetle friend!

Title: Re: Say hello to my leeetle friend! Post by: Ed, Ego and Superego on February 10, 2007, 08:56:50 PM I'm working on it, I sent Andrew a backup pic to add on my behalf if my attempts will fail. Remember I'm still board-impaired in some things. Now to start screeni Shaolin guarduans for her. Does anyone remember the Asp's number or webpage?

Post by: CheezeFlixz on February 11, 2007, 12:33:50 AM Congratulations on the addition to the family ... as other have said your life changes forever, you are now a parent!
Title: Re: Say hello to my leeetle friend! Post by: Yaddo 42 on February 11, 2007, 05:43:45 AM Congrats!!! What a sweet looking little girl, and a nice name as well.
My sister and her husband are expecting their first child (a boy) in about 6 weeks. He'll be big as well from what they say, babies in our extended family usually are. I was 9 lbs 6 ozs. My sister was 10 lbs 3 ozs. A lot of our cousins were between 8-11 lbs also. Title: Re: Say hello to my leeetle friend! Post by: dean on February 11, 2007, 09:10:38 AM Woohoo!! Congrats Ed! Though personally I'd go a different way than the Shaolin guards. Maybe make friends with a certain giant Turtle monster? Nothing scares potential dates into behaving than the threat of a giant monster destroying your house [for special use when she's older of course] Title: Re: Say hello to my leeetle friend! Post by: Dennis on February 11, 2007, 01:19:30 PM Congratulations to you and the wife, great looking little girl, as for the guardian aspect of raising a girl child, the only safe way is to forbid them to talk to or even look at boys till after you're dead. :smile:
Title: Re: Say hello to my leeetle friend! Post by: Bill C. on February 12, 2007, 08:05:45 AM Awww...congratulations, Ed (and Mrs. Ed). What an adorable giant-headed baby (not a knock--all babies have the Unicron head going on)...now you have about twelve years to get your "What are your intentions towards my daughter?" voice down!
Title: Re: Say hello to my leeetle friend! Post by: Ash on February 12, 2007, 09:52:18 AM Congratulations!
Whenever I see a newborn baby, I always think of that TV show V and the scene where woman gives birth and the baby sticks out its lizard tongue. :buggedout: (http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/2269/voriginalfu0.jpg) (http://imageshack.us) Title: Re: Say hello to my leeetle friend!

42 hours of labor, 13.5 Lbs? Wow. You owe mom majorly. Title: Re: Say hello to my leeetle friend! Post by: Poogie on February 12, 2007, 01:43:18 PM Happy babyland to you and your wife. :smile: I thought it was bad when my precious driver parked in the HOSPITAL PARKING LOT, he was afraid we might hog the emergency space from somebody. Every 5 or 6 steps I would get a labor pain so we'd stop to do the he,he, breathing and I'd say a couple of indistinguishable words then continue on our way. I guess it wasn't so bad compared to your experience. Now the really hard part starts, but it's all worth it. :smile:

Post by: Ed, Ego and Superego on February 14, 2007, 02:56:06 PM Hey thanks everyone, and thanks for puting the the pic up. We're home and trying to do the old "Get baby introduced to home and pets, and keep Grandma from making snide comments all while trying do do so on 3 hours sleep" Game.
But my li'l girl is a sweetie, even at 2 AM when she has a full mad on. You know, Its fun to suddenly have a new bestest friend. We're getting the hang of 24 hour living. I"ll do my best to stay tuned in the group, don't send an APB too soon. =Ed Title: Re: Say hello to my leeetle friend!
