Spudette

I’ve already told folk in our LJs and at NADS, but I wanted to tell the Dopers too.*

Washte had her final ante-natal appointment yesterday morning, prior to a planned c-section next wednesday (the 18th).

They kinda decided to bring that c-section forward a bit.

The baby girl formerly known as Spudette arrived yesterday at 5:52 pm (UK time), weighing in at 7lbs 12oz.

Mother and child are both doing fine.

Say hello to our daughter, Erin Faye
*In other words; I’m in full-on, attention whoring, proud daddy mode and crossposting like a bastard. Rar!

Yesterday being 11th February, of course.

she is adorable and Congratulations!!

Second cutest kid I ever saw. Congratulations!

Mazel tov! Woohoo! When does everyone get to come home from the hospital?

Congratulations! Cute kid - must take after her mother. :smiley:

I was planning on spending the beginning of next week sending good vibes across the Atlantic that everything would go well on the 18th. Now I can cross that off my “to do” list.

Great kid! so, plenty of fun and excitement ahead, Dad!

Congratulations!

She’s Beautiful!! Congratulations!

Joni Mitchell wrote a song to a new parent urging her to call her child “Green”.

Well this is a post in the same vein urging you to rename Erin to the beautiful girl’s name “Spatula” or I’m never talking to you again.

She’s a beautiful baby. You must be one proud papa.

Congratulations! She’s beautiful!

The only baby girls I’ve ever seen that were more beautiful than yours were the ones I gave birth to!

She is absolutely gorgeous. Congratulations!

What a head of hair on the kiddo! Congrats to all, even if you didn’t use the name I suggested in the “name our baby” thread. :wink:

P.S. to Kal: It’s the daddy’s job to do the attention-whoring crossposting. It’s the only reason I let MrValley leave the hospital on the day after LittleMissValley was born.

She is beautiful!
What a head of hair!

What a lucky little girl she is!

Nice tattoo.

Whoohoo! Way to go, Kal and Washte! God bless you all. :slight_smile:

Just back to the boards after my exams, only just saw this (I was still thinking 18th).

What a beautiful daughter, and she’s lucky to have such great parents.
Congratulations, Erin is gorgeous!

She’s a real beauty! Congrats to you both!

Congrats - looks just like Winston Churchill - which is how all beautiful babies should look.

What a beautiful baby. Look at all that hair.

Congrats to you both.
