It's started, contrax are five to four mins apart...going to the hospital soon!

Hello, Darby and happy birthday. This is the Straight Dope. Welcome to the boards. Don’t let people get on you about being a newbie. It’s the newbies that keep our little world going.

Congratulations, and great joy to mom, dad, and grandma. (and associated non doper relatives, as well.)

Tris

Congratulations!! Wonderful news!

Woohoo!!! Welcome to the loonybin, little Darby!!!

Congrats, Poysyn, and I hope you’re doing a lot of resting and recovering. Congrats to Brent and granny Runadoc too!!

Welcome, Darby…may your birth be the toughest thing you and your parental units need to face.

Rest, Mom and Dad…you’re going to need it!

And get ready for super spoiling from Granny…I swear to God, parents lose the parenting bone when the grandkids arrive…my dad fed my kids cupcakes for breakfast…I don’t ever remember having cupcakes for breakfast when I was growing up.

Congrats Poysyn and Grandma and baby! Rest easy while you can, welcome to the world!

Cessandra, yes, they made it to the hospital on time. I was surprised they didn’t want to admit her when the contractions were 4-5 minutes, since her previous baby came so fast and they lived so far away. She went in around 2 pm and delivered at 7 pm for this one. :slight_smile:

Congratulations to the whole clan, and welcome, Darby. You’ve already got a large number of dutch aunts and uncles who are just waiting for a chance to see you and spoil you.

Good Luck! Here’s for a healthy, happy baby and a safe and (relatively) painless delivery. :slight_smile:

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, Darby!

Congratulations Mama & Daddy Poysyn and welcome to the world, little lady!

Does that mean the little goof tried to come out face up? I am sure there is some wonderful symbolic meaning to that, all positive.

Congrats Poysyn and family. Welcome to the world little Darby!

::sniff:: :slight_smile:

How wonderful! Congratulations.

p.s. It’s perfectly normal for Doper mommies to post while in labor!

Yay, Poysyn, Daddy Poysyn, Grandma Trish and (most of all) Darby! Glad to hear everything worked out all right.

When can we see pix?

Robin

Congratulations to the expanded Poysyn/Runadoc family!

May all the rest of your days be sunny and bright and MUCH easier than the first one!

Much Love,

Hello Everyone!

I started a photo album with a couple of pics of beautiful baby Darby. You are all invited to have a look.

Proud Auntie
:slight_smile:

Absolutely adorable little bundle of joy. Many blessings and much joy to the whole Poysyn Family.

Great pictures. Poysyn, you certainly do not look any worse for wear, what are you doing sitting up? you are s’pose to be lounging back whilst your husband feeds you grapes?

Darby is adorable. How can she not be, she has the culumative (sp?)cuteness of all her virtual SDMB family.
Darby, I am going to clue you in on something I’ve only just learned: Life is 90 % maintenence.

How perfectly wonderful!

Congrats, Poysyn and family.
Darby is gorgeous! She’s gonna make a great Doper one day!

Hello all, I had a really long post to put in here, but I kept crying whenever I worked on it.

I just wanted to say thanks for all of your support and that i love you.

Take care!
