Castuserraticus Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LynnF Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chidders Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveM Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birchy Posted August 26, 2007 Author Share Posted August 26, 2007 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.

SteveM Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 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' fun, right? -Steve M_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynnF Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 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!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephitis Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 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.
