Hey Congrats DD.

Hannah is a great name, and I'd think different enough to not have half a dozen of them in her class at school.

Flasch is right though, she looks pissed. :)

Congratulations.

I feel sorry for any boys that come calling. Big brother with a smile like that- they'll never know what hit 'em. :D

[Schmidty]

Good job, dude.

Congrats, DD!

[oliegirl]

You guys better stop having babies or I am going to have to start nagging radii for one (more than I am already nagging him that is)...if I drive him crazy over the next few months, it's all your fault!!!

Seriously, she is beautiful! Congrats!!!

[DaddyTorgo]

so an hour after you get home with a new baby you're posting on the internet. Ms DD must be plotting ways to kill you!!!

kiddin, congrats DD. she looks a lot like my niece actually.

[Draft Dodger]

thanks everyone! a couple more pics...well, just because.

(and yes, I really WAS as tired as I looked in that 3rd pic - we never slept at all on Thursday night. We finally, after about 30 hours of being awake and, you know, having a baby, got a 2 hour nap around noon the next day - this was taken about an hour after that)

I can see why you would have been tired.

[Subby]

Congrats, Double D...

If you have another girl at some point, let me know and maybe we can make a trade or something ;)

[Flasch186]

very cool

[CamEdwards]

very cute, DD.

and your new daughter's pretty cute as well.

[FrogMan]

The pic of the big brother kissing her and the one pic where he's holding her in the first post are just too cute. He'll protect her, you can already see this :)

[Raiders Army]

Gratz. But you posted only an hour after you got home??? For shame... ;)

Congrats, Double D...

I'll let my wife know. We were already about 99% sure 2 was going to be it, especially when we found out we were having a girl.

Probably one of the first things my wife told me after the delivery was "that's it. No more".

[Draft Dodger]

I can see why you would have been tired.

I have really gimpy knees - the one thing I was hoping beforehand was that I wouldn't need to be on my knees during labor.

and, of course, about 3/4 of the time, that's exactly what I was doing - kneeling on my knees. For a long time, I was on my knees next to the bed - my left hand was on the baby heart rate monitor on Christine's belly, the right arm was under my wife to apply pressure on her back when the contractions set in - I certainly had the easier of the 2 jobs, but man was I sore (and tired) afterwards.

thankfully, it was a relatively quick labor.
