Yay! Congratulations to you both. She’s gorgeous.
Let me know how that sleeping thing works out. Seriously. I’ll need the advice in April.
Congrats, Hal. She’s a beauty.
Yeah, but can you go 32 hours without … well, it rhymes with sleep. 
Congrats all around!
screams in excitement BABYbabybabybabybabybabybabybaby!
Congratulations!
Way to go, Hal! Congrats! That’s the cutest 'lil turkey I’ve ever seen!
Congratulations!!!
Exceedingly cute, I approve! (and I dasn’t let Moon Unit see the pics or I’ll be pestered with incessant demands to drive right on up to wherever you live and play with the cute babeeeeeeeeeeeee).
Is she spending a little time in the NICU? Tell her NICUs are no fun, she needs to blow that joint and get home where she can do the little-finger-wrapping unimpeded by modern technology.
Congrats!
Girls are cool. Pain in the butt sometime, but overall, pretty neat.
Mine is sitting on my lap trying to gain my attention…must go now!
Take care-

It’s good to know that the Briston plans for world domination are proceeding apace.

No, they made me say it. What? I wasn’t supposed to menti–Aiiee!! No! Not the tentacles!!Thas5??#2#@P :: sploosh ::[/sub]
Oh sure, make feel (momentarily) guilty for killing you in LORD this morning…
Congrats
I’d thought she would have curly hair. Oh well, she is beautiful anyway.
When are you going to have another?
Congratulations! She’s a beauty!
She’s lovely! Congratulations!
Oh, and I can’t believe I almost won! If only I’d have said girl …
Well, SHAYLA KATHLEEN McLAUGHLIN certainly presents plenty of possibilities…
ANGELIC LLAMA HAS THY HUN ELK?
HEALTHY ANGEL CALLS MAIN HUK?
HAL MAY ASK LATIN CELL HE HUNG?
Of course, there’s also the question of whether Hal and kittenlm will refer to their daughter here by her real name, or whether they’ll (perhaps aided by other Dopers) reserve a screen name for Shayla to start using around 2020. Either way, it’s nice to know that the “Bristons” have an extra reason to be thankful as they sit down to dinner on Thursday! Your wife is still planning to prepare the feast, right, Hal?
Congrats, Hal.
Thanks so much for all the well-wishes, everyone! Sorry, no time to answer specific posts right now…just popping back home for a few minutes to upload some new pics. Mother and child should be coming home tomorrow, which will make for a very happy Thanksgiving (after all…what’s Thanksgiving if you don’t bring home a Turkey??).
Thanks again, all!
Woooo! Congrats Hal & Kitten! She’s absolutely beautiful.
As for anagram suggestions, might I offer …
Maniacally leash knelt Hugh
Analytical Klan Hughes Helm
Almanac angle–they hush kill
Nice work, Hal–she’s got the best anagram name, ever.
Oh, she’s adorable!
Congratulations!
Congrats!!!
Though I’m a bit disappointed to find out your name really isn’t Hal Briston.
