I am a new father. My daughter was born Monday morning, Nov 11, 2002. She weighed 7 lbs 11 oz. She is the most wonderful baby that was ever born. Just thought you’d like to know. ---

Congratulations. I will give you exactly one week before BabyLemur has you wrapped around he little finger. What **is** it with fathers and daughters? Ivylad says it’s because he knows what teenage boys are like. Anyway, sorry for the slight hijack, but congratulations to both you and Mrs. Lemur. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by ivylass \* > **Congratulations. I will give you exactly one week before BabyLemur has you wrapped around he little finger.** A week? It only took my older daughter about an hour and a half (when she curled up on my chest, gave a big sigh, and went to sleep). That was 16 years ago on Thursday, and I wouldn’t have missed a minute of it. **Lemur866** , you’re in for years of anxiety, exasperation, and worry—and what you get in return will be beyond price (I’m rather surprised that nobody has linked to [this](http://www.datsuns.com/family/cost_of_children.htm) or something similar yet). Best wishes to all of you. ---

Welcome to BabyLemur and congrats to her mom and dad! I also weighed 7/11 when I was born, so you are getting a good collection on that particular datapoint. Obviously a wonderful kid! There’ll be days when she stretches you farther than you thought you could go and days when she’ll fill that stretch to overflowing. Drink up. ---
