It's a GIRL !!!1

Alison Mae

Born: April 07, 2007

Weight: 7 pounds, 11 ounces

Length: 20 inches

*note: The liquid by the eyes is am antibiotic applied shortly after birth, she was about 15-20 minutes old at the time of this picture ^_^

Finally. About 26 hours after being checked into the hospital, and about 2 hours of sleep for me, my daughter was born at 12:53 PM (less than 12 hours before this post, actually) Heh, I still haven't slept… Have some cleaning up to do before her and my fiance get out of the hospital.

It was pretty amazing for me actually… The guy who usually passes out when his blood is drawn, managed to make it through an entire labor and birth, and even cut the umbilical cord. Of course, my job wasn't nearly as difficult as it was for my girlfriend. She obviously was in alot of pain, but handled it really well.

I've alot to learn and do (for instance today I changed my very first diaper… funner than it actually sounds really, it's kinda weird in an odd way :p) …But I am so looking forward to it. It's bound to eat up much of my time, but I assume I'll get some GM time during a nap here and there… Heh, perhaps I should get working on something 'educational'…

Anyways, that's probably enough for now, I've already spent most of the day blabbing about her to family, think it's about time I got some work done here before getting to sleep. (Work that was planned for friday after the clinic, until being told to go straight to the hospital…)

Was actually the day before Easter, although it just happened to land on my grandfather's birthday.

To clear any possible confusion, my girlfriend and the baby must stay in the hospital for a while after the birth, to be sure everything is okay with both of them. I was able to stay the first night, while waiting for the birth, but now that it's done, the father (me) is restricted to visiting hours of 8am-10pm… Fine with me, as I will get some sleep while I can, as well as can do things here like taking out the trash, etc, before they come home.

It's been a bit hectic though, lots of driving around all over the place, lots of phone calls… All while trying to quit smoking. I refuse to ever smoke anywhere near my daughter, but it's not fun considering I've smoked about 15 or so years.

So worth it though, she's too cute …and so far, suprisingly quiet… We'll see how long that lasts though :p

Haha after a couple weeks, that cigar will start looking mighty good between your daughter's shrieks. Pray you, however, that she's a quiet one and your will is strong. G'luck man.
