Our son Carter was born late last thursday night.

Labor took forever but mom did good.

He's a healthy 9lb 1oz little boy.
The feeling is un-describable.

sleepless nights are to come. Congrats!!!

7/15 is a great day for birthday. I'll attest to that.
Congratulations.

Congrats Lonnie. Now, get some sleep....you'll need it.

Congrat's Lonnie!!!!! Hope you got lots of pictures!!!

Congrats Lonnie!

It's hard to describe the feeling. I can just sit and watch him sleep and it's one of the best things in the world.

Yes we are both tired. Mom probably more than me.


Until I get the swing of things I won't be posting as much, but then again, I've posted quite a bit to this point


Thanks for all the well wishes.

Congratulations.

Sleep becomes important at this point in your life. Hoard it like a miser.

Congrats, Lonnie. And tell your bride congrats, as well.

Cherish these years, as it appears your are. They grow up so damn fast ...

Go Mitch, GO!!!!

Congrates!

congrats

SUPER congrats Lonnie....my son, Kyle Vincent, is now 3 1/2 months old... ....

WHAT is sleep?????



ENJOY! Before you know it they are 5 like my daughter...

And then you blink and they're 11 &14 boy does time fly.


Congratulations Lonnie tell the wifey too! It is pretty much the best thing that can happen to a guy and gal in love.And you experience a love that is immeasurable almost undescribable

Congrats Lonnie! Those long labors suck, be sure to kiss your wife's butt for a while.

Congrats. Babies are the cutest.

Try 24 and 22

Mitch, you're showing your age!

11 and 14 for me too!!!!

So have you bought him a kart yet?







Congrats.

Congratulations to you both!

Congratulations to both of you. From the title I see your last name is Bright. Do you have any family in the Mid-Ohio area?

I don't think I do..??? I believe not but I would have to ask my father.

Congrats Lonnie, I hope he has more hair than me. Me =

WooHoo! I'm glad everything went well and that Carter and Meranda are in good health. Happy Father's Day!!!!

Yep it's all good.

And while nobody knows how much I hate to do dishes, I actually did them yesterday to help her out!!

She is awesome!!


I'll see ya in Peru

....uh....DISHES are the LEAST of your new found chores!....

There are a LOT of things I would trade dishes for.....unfortunately....I have ALWAYS done them.

Trust me I already know.

But it's no biggie.
I guess the happiness I have overshadows any of the sleeplessness, and other stuff. Cause so far it aint' that bad.

I'm sure I'll find out soon enough.

Yessir. I totally didn't mind cleaning the house, going food shopping, cooking, washing the dishes, and doing laundry for the first month. Now my folks are here helping out, I don't have to do as much (Until they leave,of course...).

And I found a new hobby from all this house work: cooking! I bought a cook book, went at it, and been enjoying cooking ever since!

And the baby just gets more adorable everyday...I can't stand it.

Just saw this thread Lonnie. Congrats. My son's a few days over 18 months old now and he's just a bundle of fun.

We went to a company picnic on Saturday and he ran right past the big inflatable play areas and to a generator behind them, powering the blowers. He pointed at it and said, "Whassat?" I told him, that's just like your future go-kart engine. He walked all around it and studied it. He didn't mind the noise one bit. I'm sure I haven't influenced what he likes at all.

BTW Lonnie, diaper changes will get a lot better. That newborn stuff if they're on formula is seriously messed up.

congratulations.
Is the new born still stock ?
Or is he running in ESP due to !sleep-mod and diaper-mod ?

Watch out for the pee fountain got me a few times.

Actually because mom does so much, that I CAN'T do, it makes me feel good to do the stuff I never used to.

Makes me feel as though I AM helping out.

Even working by myself is not bad. We normally work for the same company (didn't meet there ). We are both pretty equal with me making just a few thousand per year more than her. But with her not working, it makes me feel more like I'm providing for my family.

Some of the women on the board may think that sounds neanderthal like...


BUT like most households in america we have grown accustomed to a dual income. Luckily our company started a bonus program and a 4% cost of living increas the SAME month Carter was born.

So it'll be tough for awhile but ALL worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Mike (and everyone!!)

Meranda is breast feeding so I'm not sure how that compares, but it is kinda funky.

And it's as if he is TRYING to pee on us! (and has me once, mom a few times)

Wait until you have projectile vomiting....

Congrats on the new baby.

So far I've not been peed on, but my wife got hit once.

I just got it in the face last night!!


He was all smiles this morning.
