I apprecaite your comments and kindness, I hope that someday I can come to the UK, particularly England and meet you, Sara, bloona, smedley, uhoh.....Im not going to name any more UK'ers cause I'll leave someone out. But I hope to do that as Smedley has given me the OK to stay with her and her dear hubby on our future trip. She has no clue what she's getting into with our crew! JK They are quite well behaved. Anyway, thank you so much Dave. I appreciate you dearly.

Get your tissues out for this rather obscure old Elton John song: The Greatest Discovery Peering out of tiny eyes The grubby hands that gripped the rail Wiped the window clean of frost As the morning air laid on the latch A whistle awakened someone there Next door to the nursery just down the hall A strange new sound you never heard before A strange new sound that makes boys explore Tread neat so small those little feet Amid the morning his small heart beats So much excitement yesterday That must be rewarded must be displayed Large hands lift him through the air Excited eyes contain him there The eyes of those he loves and knows But what's this extra bed just here His puzzled head tipped to one side Amazement swims in those bright green eyes Glancing down upon this thing That make strange sounds, strange sounds that sing In those silent happy seconds That surround the sound of this event A parent smile is made in moments They have made for you a friend And all you ever learned from them Until you grew much older Did not compare with when they said This is your brand new brother This is your brand new brother

I cannot believe I missed this thread yesterday but probably good cuz I would have been joining everyone in that pacing rut. So happy that all is well and that you have a wonderful new addition. We had quite a scare with our daughter-in-law and granddaughter last year but all worked out. Hope you get some time to rest and we are anxious to see the pix.
Originally Posted By DVC_dad Okay guys, inbetween diapers, circ care, running back and forth to home and hospital (30 miles one way), spending the night next to mom and baby, and doing everything I can to make sure my wife is comfortable, (the hospital food is well, hospital food) I managed to pull a Davewasbaloo-style-multi-tasking feat, and create this website. It isn't snazzy but it shows pictures. If there is anything else you want to see, I have lots that are not posted, just say and I'll probably have a photo and I'll post it on the site. *drum roll* <a href="http://tinyurl.com/24hvxl" target="_blank">http://tinyurl.com/24hvxl</a> Thank you all so much for sharing our wonderful weekend!

Originally Posted By DVC_dad My wife and I got in a little spat about the pictures I chose.

I figure I probably shouldn't argue with her too much considering the present state of things.
