Hope you enjoyed your vacation! (birth announcement)
 

My gift to you was a 2 week break from ME. :D

While I was away from the PC for a couple of weeks except to delete e-mails and pay a couple of bills, I became a father again.

2 weeks ago today, my wife delivered our second child, this time a little girl. She had a very rough first day with some bad breathing issues after some delivery complications but she fought past that and is now a perfectly healthy baby.

My wife has already planned to get her a little Redskins cheerleader outfit...I've trained her well.

So, I may not be back on as often for a while (congrats to all of you) but that's where I have been.

Hey congrats man. That's great news. Cheers to you and your wife. I'm glad she's healthy and happy. Watch out, though- you've got a full blown Leo on your hands. My b-day is August 13th (just turned 33). I'm a handful to deal with. ;)

Congrats man. I hear it's better to have a pre/off-season than an regular season baby.

Re: Hope you enjoyed your vacation! (birth announcement)
 

Well, my son was born 2 days before Sean Taylor was shot. I went in to visit my wife and new son and she told me he died. Bittersweet day. That Sunday, I watched the Skins choke away the Tampa Bay game at the end in the hospital with my son in my arms for his first game.

I didn't miss a game, but I guess you're right about the possibility.




Thanks, FD...will do. :D

I'll have my daughter indoctrinated soon enough. My son is a diehard Skins fan at age 3. When we see someone out in public wearing a Skins hat or jersey, he yells "Look, it's OUR team!"

Mission accomplished.

Actually...she only gets up once, sometimes twice a night.

Great sleeper. Our son started sleeping through the night at 3 weeks old too.


I didn't think we'd get lucky TWICE, but I think we did. :D


All other parents probably hate me for this.

Congratulations, Buster! Very great news.

The board is adding lots of daughters this year. My wife and I entered the parenting world in April with the birth of our own little girl. Relatives made sure she had a Redskins outfit to wear when the season kicks off, and it's been all I can do to resist putting it on her until opening day.

As I said, I'm new to the parenting role, but for those who aren't dads yet who might read this thread, I actually do have advice to give. My wife took the full three months off from work after our little girl was born, and then, when my wife went back to work, I took five weeks of leave that I had accumulated with my organization. Let me say this--if you have leave to take when your first (or subsequent) child is born, take it, take as much as you possibly, possibly can. Except for a guarantee that our daughter will live a long, healthy, happy life, I wouldn't trade those five weeks for anything. I actually felt bad for my wife, because I took over just when little girl's smiling and alterness was kicking into high gear. Every single day was awesome. So, really, if you have time to take, take it.

Mine did not sleep through the night that soon but I too was lucky with their sleeping. Sorry but my wife has all ready given away the cheerleading outfit.
