Congratulations! 
throws confetti
And here I am, reading down the left colum of the thread, and what do I get to but Goo…Goo…Goo.
Must be the baby talking.
Hope everything went well, leechbabe!
Only a true die-hard Doper would take time to post on the board enroute to the hospital to give birth!!
Congrats and best of everything to the newly-enlarged leechfamily!
I get to spill the news! Nyah nyah Bubbaleechie is here, 6lb 4 oz, blue eyes and black hair.
I hope I am not treading on the toes of the ** Leeches** by spreading the news but I got a text message and there is nothing about it being a secret. I will leave them to reveal names as they do or don’t desire, I think they are splendid too.
I am so thrilled for them all. Bubbaleechie has chosen great parents.
Luck and joy to you Leechbabe.
Three Cheers for **Bubbaleechie **!
Huzzah!
Huzzah!
Huzzah!
Welcome to Earth! Take your time and be patient with your parents. They are goofy and basically clueless and if you do it right, they will buy you stuff to keep you quiet so they can sleep more.
HELLO!!!
That’ll wake you up, won’t it?
Best of luck with the baby.
Someone care to enlighten a baby-illiterate Doper ? Is 6lb 4 oz good ? Is it too heavy or too light ?
Thanks for the info, Thylacine, it’s good to know everything went fine
Congrats… Babies have a knack for not doing as planned 
Enjoy!!!
Congrats to you and your family! I wish you and your baby good health, and a good night’s sleep as soon as the leechbaby allows. 
Could be worse - my wife went through 40ish hours of labor before they finally did a C-section - sounds like you went straight to the section.
Goo, 6lbs is on the light side, but not exceptionally so, especially since leechbabe said the planned due date was 5/19.
Congrats to the leeches!

Congratulations to leechbabe and family! Good luck!
Oh, this is wonderful! Congratulations! How come you didn’t set up a keyboard in the hospital so we could get step-by-step commentary?
w00t! Yay!
Wonderful news! All the very best to leechbabe, Leechboy and the much awaited Bubbaleech.
Good health, happiness and peace to all.
W00t!
Congrats on the leechling!
How wonderful! Congratulations!
Congratulations!
6 lb 4 oz sounds fine to me.
My word. Leechbabe, you are one of my favourite finds from these boards. A gem. You deserve every happiness with your new family.
Words fail me. I’m almost as proud here as if I were an actual relative. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.
There’s a TLD sittin’ here in Sydney alone at a computer late at night with a stupid bloody big goofy grin on his noggin.
Welcome to our littlest Doper.
Dry eyes TLD. Dry eyes, damn you!
wow congratulations…wonderful news…that is awesome…
leechbabe, I know you’re probably too busy to give an update. But let us know 10 toes and fingers and all that. Best of luck to the entire family.
