My wife gave birth to our first child, Steven Michael, at 2:15 AM on Saturday, Nov. 15th after only about 5 hours labor and no drugs whatsoever. Completely amazing! He tipped the scales at 9 lbs, 2 oz. and is a tall one at 21.5"!

Both baby and mother are doing amazingly well. We're all at home now after being relased this afternoon.

Here's the little guy sucking on my finger.




(BTW, congrats to Shawn on the birth of his son, too!)

Congrats!

V. cool. The picture is a nice touch heh.

Wow he was heavy lol - I was 7 lbs 11 oz. No idea about my height, but I doubt it was much as I am short now (5'8").

Terrific, Peter! It looks like he's going to be even taller than daddy.

Congrats, Peter! I could write volumes about the many parenthood positives. But I'll leave you with only a couple of nuggets right now.

Each child comes with the promise that God is not yet discouraged with man.

Nice, smart people should have children so that we continue to have nice, smart people in the world.

Your son is lucky to have you.

Relish the blessings, my friend.

- Tom

Right on! First child. From here everything changes for you, and in a good way. You'll see the world in a new way, from a new perspective. Congratulations!

Thank you everybody for your wonderful comments and words of encouragement! I showed all your posts to my wife and she now has an idea of why I hang out here so much.

We're feelin' the love in Oakland.

Congrat's from Canada, eh! Welcome to an amazing new chapter in your life!

Sorry I haven't written sooner, but with my wife completely monopolized by the new baby, I am left to handle a 4 year old needing to go back and forth to school, a hyper 2 year old still needing diaper changes, cooking, laundry, entertaining friends and family that drop in, all the while still trying to make a living, well, time is non-existent.

Peter, as tough as the sleep deprivation seems now, looking back, the first one is a cake walk. Enjoy every minute - they grow way too fast.

I hate to say, it, but it seems like a cake walk already. Sure, he wakes up a bunch of times at night, but he settles down real quick. For the most part, he's a real quiet dude. My regular long continuous night's sleep has transformed into an adequate series of naps.

Of course, once my wife starts filling bottles, I'm sure I'll start sharing in the feeding duty.

Heartiest congratulations !

I have never used the words 'cake walk' to describe it, but yes, I agree, it's not that bad. I think the joy of simply holding and playing with the little one (while he is half asleep or half awake) makes all the tiredness vanish and brings about a certain joy within.

I still remember that feeling a couple of years back when my little Joy (she's 5 already) was born.

Cheers / Mahesh
