Thank you everyone for the congratulations. We are all doing well - needing more sleep, but doing very well. **Kal** is a fantastic Daddy and extremely helpful hubby, doing tons of running aroung and looking after his girls. Cheers Darlin’. Mommyhood, though hectic, is absolutely wonderful. Erin is a doll. Greatly enjoying watching her develop each day. Such miracles are babies. 🙂 Erin’s hair is just beautiful - thick and downy feeling. I love stroking it when we’re feeding or snuggling. Yes, **irishgirl** , she was due the 18th, but ended up having an emergency C-section on the 11th when they determined my placenta was deciding to pack it in. Rather than wait the extra week, and perhaps put her at risk, we had her early (3 weeks early actually). **Shirley** , the tattoo is a tiger done in purple with blue eyes and lilies. A little prezzie to myself several years ago. Thanks again everyone. 🙂 ---

I just found this thread. Congratulations, guys! Must have been the American snacks her Momma ate while pregnant that makes her so cute. ---

> [@Hugh Jass](#): > > Must have been the American snacks her Momma ate while pregnant that makes her so cute. That must have been it. It’s amazing what Charleston Chews, Mashmallow Fluff and pecans can do for ya 🙂 Erin is very cute indeed, IMHO of course. She has lost quite a bit of weight (just over 10% of her body weight) so she looks more like a newborn now than the chubby chunkin you see in the photos there. Hopefully she’ll plump back up soon.
