The Drama Never Ends..

Congratulations. Before you know it he'll be grown. Enjoy every moment - even the sleepless ones. They all have meaning. Your picture brings up memories that still seem so fresh even though mine are 13 & 15 now.

Congrats on the new catch.

 

Sorry to hear the next four years you are not on the water.

Congratualtions and as Castis says enjoy, the time goes incredibly quickly. My boy was also 5 1/2 weeks early and he's going into grade 12 this fall.

Wow...we're exactly 5 weeks away tomorrow. Reading your post was definitely sobering!!

Congratulations, what a beautiful baby!

[jimbow]

congrats, kids are great, until they start to sass you.....but you've got a few years for that.

[cheeler]

Congrats! You should have known Murphy was gonna strike when you tried to time it for the end of the fishing season!

[Pythagoras]

Way to go! All the best to you and your family.

Now that's funny...lol.

Well Birchy....you've had a helluva past 2 weeks eh?!

 

He's just beautiful....and very well developed for 5 weeks early! No ventilator or steroids for his lungs or anything? If not, you're very fortunate to have such a healthy, early boy. Congratulations to you all!!!

 

P.S. I love his name

[chidders]

Now that's funny...lol.

 

No it is not! Our born date was July 15th and I think I've been out three times since.

 

Toolman I think you should offer to babysit so Birchy can get out.

Noah... a good name for that young son of a Birch; some good water karma, I would think. Oughta come in handy

when he starts fishin' in a coupla years!

A few more of my favorite pics so far:

 

 

This was hilarious.. Tarah was trying to wake him up for a feeding and he just would NOT wake up.. sleeping in her hands in a sitting position. LOL:

 

A little size comparison:

 

Sleepin with dad:

 

It's okay.. they'll get bigger:

 

"Cute as a button!"

 

 

I don't think I've stopped smiling yet!! So cool.

Great pics, Birchy! Handsome young man ya got there. Enjoy every second- everything's warp speed from here; seems

like yesterday I was the proud new dad. Still proud, but my daughter will be 11 in October! Time flies when you're havin'

He absolutely is cute as a button!!! Those are great pics....memories you will treasure the rest of your life. And you're right...he'll grow into some bigger hands - unfortunately a little too fast. Enjoy him while he's small and can't talk back....they grow up to be rotten little buggers. I'm kidding

 

Keep posting those pics!!

I'm not sure why everyone is congratulating Birch: the last work he did in this regard was a bit over 8 months ago. The rest of the work was done by the missus. Give her my best, and I think you'll find fatherhood gives you a whole new perspective on life.

 

(congrats)
