Ok, the pictures did it. Getting teary here. So very, very happy for all of you. You’ve endured so much to get to this place. I can only imagine the joy in your hearts holding that beautiful little healthy baby. I’m sure her big brother is smiling, too.

I think it was **ScareyFaerie** with a guess of 9:00 am GMT, which is 6:00 pm Japan time. 34 minutes off! W00t! ::flings confetti::
ETA: PICS!!!

Pics! Oh man, I love the one with **TokyoPlayer** holding Anya with this incredulous expression of joy…

Work was bizarre and intense this morning, and it’s lunchtime and I come back to the Dope to find _PICS!_

Oh, she is so beautiful! I especially like the picture of all of you together – grandmas, parents, and baby.
And your wife is gorgeous.
Congratulations again, my friend. Someday you will be able to tell Anya that people all over the world cried tears of joy at her birth.

Happy birth day, Anya! Take it easy on your mom and dad for a little while, will you? They’ve been so worried, let them have a break. For a few hours at least 🙂

Welcome, Anya! You have to the the most eagerly awaited baby in the history of the world.
**TokyoPlayer** , your wife is so beautiful. And so patient. After my two c-sections, I would have had a few suggestions about what to do with the camera. And none of them would be pretty. 😃
You look like the happiest person on the face of the Earth. I think, right now, you could fly. Congratulations to all of you!

That is one mighty happy-looking papa, and with good reason. She’s a beaut!
Welcome to the world, little Anya! It’s a little messy, but we’re doing what we can…you’ll learn to love the place. 🙂

That smile on Daddy’s face pretty much says it all. And I think it has spread all over the world by now.
That’s one beautiful family, that is.
