Congrats, Mr.C! Hope you saved up your sleep for the next few months.

Emphasis on the “often,” but a case for speed: My wife and I made it to the hospital with only 11 minutes to spare before our first daughter arrived.

Big big big congrats! And I’ll have y’all know I was online from the hospital the two nights I was there having my last kid…maybe he was just waiting for tests to come back or something. 🙂

luck.

And don’t forget, we want you to actually take a break from posting to be with baby C. You can post here any old time. You can’t be with your newborn baby too many times in your life.

And if you have medical Qs don’t hesitate to ask.

Congratulations! Best wishes for Mrs. C, the little one and you. Be sure and post lots of pictures and tell us all the details. I don’t know why I _need_ to know the weight,length, apgar scores and hair color of every baby that comes along, but I do. And the sick thing is I remember it all!
