Thank you everyone for your kind words.. My wife and I are extremely happy to be parents.. However, after being in that delivery room, I don't think I ever want to see my wife in that much pain again... My hats off to ANY woman who has a child. We guys sure have it easy. We just help make them and (us good ones) help take care of them... The doctor said she was a totally healthy baby.. They can't find anything wrong with her. They even told us she scored a 10 on the newborn test (which is the highest!) She took to me from the start too. They brought her in last night to be fed at 2:00am, when she started crying, I picked her up, and not a sound from her.. She just stared at me with those big beautiful brown eyes and fell asleep... We've named her Katelyn Rose Provost. I gave her Rose after my mother. Katelyn, because my wife and I both adore that name... Well I'll keep you all posted.. I had to come home this morning because the hospital made me go home a rest. I've gotten 1 hour of sleep since my wife went into labor in the early evening of the 14th.. We almost had her on valentines day... Talk to everyone soon...

WOW!!! Congratulations Squeak! What a wonderful miracle: a new life on this earth!

First of all, I pray that your family has a prosperous, successful future spiritually and physically and that you grow together as each day progresses! I hope that you all share the most precious, memorable experiences together that you can look back on and remember! It is so amazing to actually hear that a new life has been born into this world, that is the biggest miracle in the entire universe: a new life!

I know that you and your wife will make great parents and raise a wonderful family! Families are the most precious things in this world, they know each other in a way no other human can share, they share the most special memories with each other, they talk and share their feelings freely, and live for each other and promise that they will always be there forever! I also pray that your wife makes a speedy recovery and that your child has a promising future full of good health! My family and I have always discussed how strong women are, because they have to carry a heavy baby around for 9 months and then, on top of that, give birth and than devote her entire life to her child! My Mom has been there for me ever since day one and has devoted her entire life to me and my brothers! I am the way I am because she provided me with love and a peaceful atmosphere here at home!

Well, congratulations to you! I also want to congratulate Larry as well for becoming a new father just recently, 3 months ago! I also wish you and your family a prosperous, successful future spiritually and physically! Wow! Now we have two new Dads on this forum!

Life is full of miracles...Enjoy your new family and have fun spending precious time with them,
Ryan

PS: Uncle Dave, sorry for the bad news. I am glad that everything ended up ok and that your daughter is safe. There is nothing worse than the news that something bad may have happened to your family member...again, I am glad that your family is safe at home.

It was ALMOST bad news. Whew....! I'm so grateful.

Dave, You want bad news?? I'll send my 17-year-old up there to date your daughter!

Now, why would you punish your son like that?

Could be a match made in Heaven, or the internet.

Congratulations Squeak on your first born, and a daughter at that.
Personally, I would also like to have a daughter. My family has all sons, all my cousins are boys. Now my cousins, getting married are only producing girls. I wonder if they can do it intentionally. Who knows, but its happening, and they are seeming to produce daughters. I really like that as now I have several nieces, filling in the gap of sisters that I never had.
May you enjoy your daughter's love and she yours.
God Bless.
