Congrats. You know why children are so expensive? Because they are worth it.
God bless you and yours from the Keenans.
Great early Christmas present.

Congratulations. I can say girls are closer to daddys..
I second that one, my two year old daughter follows me around everywhere, and best of all, she loves my models. I'm teaching her the various intricacies of the Panzer IV (much to my wifes despair... :-) ) and she won't go up or down the stairs without having a look at my display cabinet. Enjoy it it untill the wife gets her interested in shoes...
Enjoy every day, they fly by before you know it. And the first years are the best.
And start saving for a shotgun.... one day a spotty youth in a 'hoody' will knock on your door....
All the best

Congrats mate
I guess its kind of like model building; the build process is a lot more fun but the finished product is a small scale replica...
Cheers

Hi RedLeg!
Congratulations from France!
We were at the hospital yesterday as well but our baby didn't wanted to come... perhaps today... hopefully.
Maybe our boy will meet your little girl one day, who knows?

Hey Redleg
Congratulations.
29 hours that's along way to go without sleep. Rest assure that in the future, you'll have lots and lots of sleepless hours. You'll be so tired, you'll almost forget your own name. But when that little girl, who has kept you awake all night, smils at you, you forget you were ever tired, you smile and you're the happiest man in the world.

Congrats! Glad to hear everyone is doing fine. You'll be amazed at how fast she'll grow, so enjoy every moment (yes, even the little unpleasant ones) as they'll be gone before you know it.
My daughter turns 3 in January and she does indeed follow me everywhere. I find it very funny that she insists that I tuck her in for the night rather than my wife, who she sends away with "No, daddy do it. Go away for me." (Yes, she says it that way).
Hope you'll post a pic or two!

CONGRATULATIONS. I have two of them :-) all girls.
BTW, you can still do modeling for a year. The worrysome period for a modeler is when the child starts walking and grabbing things :-) ...the wost is when they are 2 years old already...now you will be missing some parts and tools.... :-) . But what the heck, you will still love them....
Congrats again and I hope the baby and mother are A-OK. Nice Christmas for you....
