I know what happened. Your little girl just wanted REALLY BADLY to share a birthday with my son, Dominic! 🙂 Congratulations! ---

Photo 19 is my favorite. And there was much joy in Alvin (yeah, somebody’ll go, “Huh?”). ---

Man . . . apollyon, Bricker and now Sealemon. Er, and Bubble Girl. Evidently one way to fight ignorance is to out-breed it:D ---

She’s a very lucky little girl to have parents the calibre of you both. So - Did I win the baby pool? I picked: Girl… 8lb 4 oz… _Caucasian._ 😃 _::runs like hell::_ ---

You guys rock. Plain and simple. 🙂 One of the great things about this (But far from the greatest thing) is seeing how many people are there for us. It’s really nice to know. Ayesha: I know, I know. I suck. 🙂 We figured we had another six weeks to get ready for her. She’s ben early at everything; she’s the opposite of me, that way. Zyada: I can’t believe how much time HASN’T passed with me and Bubble Girl. It feels like I’ve known her all my life. OpalCat: Happy Birthday to Dominic! What a kickass name! meek: Let’s see…girl? Check. Caucasian? Check. 3 lbs. 10 ounces? D’oh! Thanks to everone. Bubble Girl and I are looking forward to the next Dope Meet, where we can bore the living crap out of everyone there with baby pictures. Muh hahahahahahahaha!!! ---

God, she is so darling. She doesn’t look nearly so undercooked (to me) as a lot of preemies do. In fact, she didn’t even seem that small to me until I saw that skinny little 2 oz NICU-type baby bottle next to her little face. Then I realized what a petite little angel she is. Darling, though! ---

Sorry I missed this thread the first time around. Belated congratulations to Bubble Girl and Sealemon and a happy birthday to Emily (and to my dueling partner Dominic). ---

Aww, what a sweetie! You wouldn’t want to trade her for a large teenage boy would you? I’ll even throw in a twelve year old! Two for one, ya can’t beat that! Emily has always been high on my list of favorite girl’s names, but I got a Dan and a Josh instead. Oh well! Actually, I guess I’ll keep 'em. I know all about rough deliveries. When I had Josh, a piece of the placenta broke off and I nearly bled to death. To top it off, he weighed 10lbs 2oz! I think you guys are pretty amazing, all of you. Bubble girl, just remember to take it easy whenever you can. I know right now you probably can hardly stand to put her down, but ya gotta rest! Blessings on you all!
