Baby Freek

[fishfreek]

Today at 5:19pm I was wittness to one of the worlds greatest events as me and my wife welcomed our first child into the world.

Her name is Kaya Louise and she was 19in and 5lbs 10oz.

Thus. If you dont see me around for a few days dont be supprised. She had to have a C section so they are keeping her in the hospital till Thursday and I plan on being there every waking minute.

[nthfinity]

a HUGE congradulations is in order for you, and your wife :) , it is a huge experience that i look forward to someday. Children are a blessing and are truly a joy.

My limited experience includes two younger sisters, and a nephew, and two nieces. as my sisters are both in high school now, i see my brothers children growing up so quickly. its so amazing; amazing to watch them grow up, and to learn, and display so much ceriosity in the world around them.

again, Congradulations to you and your wife

[DeMoN]

Congrats on the new baby! Let me ask you a question, if I may, were you expecting (hoping) for the child to be a boy?

[RC45]

Congratulations :)

Enjoy fatherhood - especially the times you "need to be busy" - Those are the times when they are the youngest and we are always the "busyiest"...

Never put off time that you can spend with your child/ren now, until "next time" -- you miss out on way too much if you do.

I have been fortuanate over the last five years to have essentially "worked from home" - and have watched my daughter grow up and enjoyed every minute. (well - almost every minute - as in all aspects of life - the ups come with their downs.. ;))

...that i look forward to someday. Children are a blessing and are truly a joy.


LOL :lol: spoken like a true "rosy eyed" noob... ;)

They may be a "blessing and a joy" - but can also put you through hell and test you to your limits of endurance... ;) :lol: LOL.... :P

Try enjoy "the single" life as much as you can... ;)

maybe some day little fishy (who, by me, is from this day forth officially named "Nemoette" 8) ) will grow up to be computer savvy like her daddy and my son will download vids off of her just like his daddy (and "download vidss off of" was not a metaphor btw)

generations of jw'ers? perhaps :D

[Vansquish]

Congratulations Fishfreek!! Enjoy fatherhood with all its ups and downs, it's an experience to cherish (even though it can be extremely trying at times). :-D

Tell the missus our thoughts are with her and we hope she's up and on her feet soon!

[stradale]

Congrats to you and your wife, fishfreek! :D

What a great moment that must be...

[yg60m]

BIG CONGRATS fishfreek !! For being myself two times father (the younger is 8 weeks old it's a girl , :wink: the older is 2 1/2 years ) i know it's the most wonderful experience in the world and i understand that you want to spend every minute near your familly. I am really happy for you and your wife :D
Have nice moments with them and i hope everything is fine.

If you have questions, don't hesitate, i am not the perfect dad (who can say that) but i try to do my best as most parents do :wink:

ps : as TT said, you can say good bye to mornings in bed, my son never sleep later than 7:00 am :wink:

[fishfreek]

Here are some photos.

Turns out the wife found out around midnight last night from the baby doc that the due date was incorrect and she is really only 36 weeks. They had thought she was at 38 weeks. So instead of being two weeks early she is 1 month early. The good news is her body seems totally developed. Lungs work great as the nurses found out yesterday as they where doing her post op workup.


Sorry Jabba, We lost our first one about 1/3ed way thru the pregnancy about a year ago acutally. I belive we found out on good friday so this baby being delivered nearly 1 year after that is amazing. The wife went around and told everyone about the first one and then when we lost it telling folks the bad news was just as bad as hearing it for the first time. So the second time around I told her that we tell no one thats not directly involved until we felt safe about the pregnancy. And then I guess I forgot to tell some folks.

[novass]

Looks like a cute little girl. Congrats again and im sorry to hear about the first child, my brother and his wife had that happen to them too and I can fully understand why you chose not to say anything until you were certain.

Glad to hear the baby is healthy and doing alright. I know what you mean about the sharp little fingernails, my little nephew always sliced me up when I would hold him. Its like holding a little Wolverine LOL

[Zonda11]

WOW, she does look small - good to hear she's healthy.

[yg60m]

Happy to hear that everything is fine. My daughter came to world 1 month early too but everything is fine so don't worry :wink:

[BADMIHAI]

Congrats, fish!

[SPEEDKILLAR]

Don't worry fishfreek, I also borned one month earlier and the only problem I had (and still have) is my addiction to motorsports and supercars, nothing important at all...

Your hidding something, c'mon tell us :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: j/k :wink:

[666fast]

Congrats agian fishfreek, thats great news!

Here is a pic of my sisters kid,
http://members.fbody.com/666fast/2003_1120Image0012.JPG

As soon as they get passed the cutting their faces, they give themselves a nice red mustache from the pacifiers.

[fishfreek]

Big ol smile on that baby.

[DeMoN]

DeMoN, We knew it would be a girl for a while now. This way the wife could get baby girl stuff vs gender nutral items.


Yes, I thought this would be the answer to my question, but let me rephrase it:

When you found out it was a girl, did you say:
a) Doctor, are you sure?
b) Do you mind rechecking if it is not a guy?
c) Just what I wanted! (without meaning it, like I said to my uncles when I got girly socks for birthday)

LOL, but all jokes away, I was trying to ask you if you wanted to have a boy or a girl. I am too jelouse of a person to want a girl. I am sorry if I sound harsh or mean, but I rather have a baby boy than a baby girl when I get my first kid.

[yg60m]

The best is to have both :wink: I am happy enough to have a boy and then a girl :D but it's hazard or supposed to be :P

[fishfreek]

Demon, The sex was not an issue. Having a healthy baby is #1. What sex it is was down on the priority list.

[saadie]

shez a cutiepie .... :lol: ... take good care of her ....

[possessed_beaver]

I agree with the others, one of the cutests little babies I ever saw! :D

don't say that u haven't seen picture's of me as a baby :)


nice baby fish freak, congrats to you and you're partner on the healthy and happy child

[Drive4Ever]

[Johns]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111 :D :D :D :D :D :D

[noosee]

Congratulations Fishfreak ! That is a great feeling of being a father :)

[middleton7]

Wow, she's still less than a month old. She's beautimus man. Myself, I have an 11, 8, 8, 4, and 10 month old. All boys. It's fun stuff. Never a dull moment. Give your wife many hugs and much love and attention for the next little while. She gave you the greatest gift ever.......

http://www.middletonmanor.50megs.com

[fishfreek]

She will be 3 weeks on Monday.

Thank you for your kind words. Are those two 8yr olds twins?

[corvette97]

so fishfreek, how's she doing? everything OK?

[fishfreek]

Yep doing fine. Probably up to 7 1/2 lbs by now. Growing and quite honestly she looks a bit different than my avatar at this point.

[rift321]

month late.... congratulations! :D

[Tyrek]

As a noob to JW it's great to see postings about things more important than cars -is there really any such thing? :D

Now the fun really begins! I've had 2 and they've been the greatest thing ever - love bein' a father - big congrats 2u

[sau_mathur]

Heartiest congratulations to you and your wife...good luck, and god bless.

[peacenriot69]

Of Course another Congratulations ,
I wish you and your new found family, all the love and strength in the world, may you be blessed with good fortune for the rest of your days. :D

[Toronto]

sorry fishfreek, i never noticed the section, all the way here at the top,

but i hope everything is doing fine with your baby,
way to your god given talent of making babies :D :wink:

[geargirl63]

Congrats and Happy Father's day to you. :D

Even though I am a little late. :)

[tifneedle208]

Congrats!

[fabro_s]

Congrats, although even late, I think this late messages still make you proud of having the most beautiful gift, and the most beautiful act of nature, having a child, so congrats!

[fishfreek]

After having the baby, sleeping gets to be the top priority in the parents life:


Ya, I laugh at non parents who compalin that they are exhausted. Try going 3+ months with getting only 3-4 hours of sleep before getting your sleep interupted for about 30minutes.

[yg60m]

Hehehe, wait until the second to arrive :wink: and my older child ( 2 1/2 years ) wake up at 6h00 every morning , vacations included :P

[TransAm]

Congratulations to you both!
