She’s breastfeeding right now! How neat is that? I could never breastfeed my twins.

You know, we have a sizable number of Doper babies, but most of the ones I’ve noted are girls. We need some boys so that we can do matchmaking and produce

Yay! Baby!!! See, we knew there was a baby in there all along!

Even her pictures kind of give a “What? I’ll be there when I’m ready…” vibe. 😃

Thanks everyone!

Cinnamon, I’m not really sure what they think of her. They haven’t seen her yet and I only got to talk to my son last night because my daughter had already gone to bed, and all he cared about was her getting into his toys.LOL Depending on when I’m discharged today my husband may have to go get them from daycare and bring them up here to meet her or they will see her when we get her home

Congrats! And she’s adorable! I love that you can clearly tell in that one pic exactly what she’s thinking: “_Daaaamn_, it’s bright out here! Chilly, too!”

Ooh! Ooh! I’ve got a boy! He’s well on his way to 3 years old now, but chicks dig an older man, right? I’ve already granted dibs on him to the daughter of my best friend, so that we may create a union of the houses of Nerddom and Dorkness. But if she doesn’t want him, Junior Dopers are next on the list.

I was so happy to pop in here and read that she had finally arrived! Congrats!

So how long did it take from induction to arrival? Just curious…
