She’s just gorgeous! Congratulations.

I love your naive assumption that you will, in fact, catch up on sleep sometime soon. Newbies are so cute. 😃

And looking at Pic #6, she’s got quite the set o’ pipes on her!

Been there, you’ll do fine. Sleep when you can.

Additionally, it would seem that **nocturnal\_tick** is the winner of the pool, with a guess of:

11/21/05, 4:30 am, Girl, 5lb 7oz, 19.5".

The only other one that guessed on this date was **yellowval** , with a wager of:

11/21/05, 1:59 pm, Boy, 7lb 3oz, 19.5".

**Yellowval** was closer on the weight, but **nocturnal\_tick** got the gender right and the time closer, so there’s more points.

AWWW! Pretty baby!

Congratulations, she looks adorable, the lovely **kitten** looks exhausted but proud, and you’re keeping back, snapping photos and telling all your friends. Typical behaviour for a new family then!

You daughter is a wee dote and you know she can only turn out well with such great parents to look after her.

Don’t let her know about this place though…

Now to convince irishfella that the addition of a baby would really liven our household up a little…being broody at 23 is not fun.

AWWWWWWWW… what a lil’ ol’ cutie! Congrats **Hal**! The pic where she looks like she’s kicking her legs makes me think she’ll be a fine doperball player one day. 😃
