Anna Zdena Ruth was born at 3:36 AM Jan 4th. Mom and baby are doing well, my wife had a relatively merciful labor, after arriving at the Womens hospital at 1am. She was real a trooper, receiving admiration by the nurses and chose to go it without anesthetic. At birth Anna weighed 7lbs & 11.6 ounces, 21 cm long.. (named after my Grandma, the kindest person I knew, and our moms) It is truly a joy I could not have imagined... |

09 Jan 05 - 10:33 PM (#1375617) Subject: RE: BS: the joy of our lives... From: Tannywheeler Hope you've had enough forethought to get a sturdy, fitting rocking chair. Excellent promoter of peaceful moments and necessary sleep. Also a useful bonding tool -- and, if you haven't been singing to her already (even in utero) START SINGING IMMEDIATELY. You do understand that lullabies are worksongs, don't you? Tw Hi, Anna. Welcome home. |

What joy!! Thanks for telling us!! One wee bit of unsolicited advice.....If you haven't already done so, get yourself a journal and write everything down! You think you will remember it all...all of the milestones, the cute things she does and says...but you won't! Take the time to write them down when you can! There will be many gems from this little one. And yes, it is miraculous! Again, heartiest congratulations!! KT |

10 Jan 05 - 01:30 PM (#1375976) Subject: RE: BS: the joy of our lives... From: Peace Petr, I return to this thread to see what people say, because the experience you have had--that of becoming a new father--is maybe the most profoundly moving and 'shocking' realizations people ever have, IMO. I cut the cord for my eldest, and (mostly) delivered my youngest (--yes, my wife did all the work). I think part of it all is seeing that you have a new life to help, feed, care for, educate, guide, etc., and the other part is that you'll likely be making some changes in your own life to accommodate the little one. One little tip: if Ruth is not in diapers, don't hold her above your head and get her giggling and excited. I did that once and kids have real difficulty holding their bladders. I recall the day my youngest came out of the washroom, the floor of which was covered with liquid. She announced in a clear and confident voice: "I can pee standing up." Keep a photo album and absolutely everything that Ruth creates. If she gets a favourite toy, buy a second one and put it aside. There will be tears like you have never seen when her bear or doll goes missing. You'd better be prepared to jump in quickly with Winnie the Second. I am really happy for you and your missus. Bruce |
