My wife and I are pleased to announce the birth of our first child. She has a beautiful full head of hair, and the cutest little dimpled chin. She gave us a scare at first as her stats wouldn’t normalize, and she had to be admitted to the NICU. Everything is fine now, she is perfectly healthy, and home with mom and dad. That is all for now, and I’m sure more proud papa threads will follow. ---

Oh, look at that cute little chubby baby face! She’s darling. Lovely name, too. Congratulations! Little girls are the best–my daughter cracks me up on a daily basis, and has since pretty much the day she was born. ---
