shyguy Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 New baby girl for my wife and I in March Just wanted to tell the world about our 10 pound (yes ten pounds) bundle of joy.

squirrelheels Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 Hehe congratulations! 10lbs is quite large for a lil baby. I was 7lbs 10oz I think. I'm now about 11st! How soon before she's wearing heels!? SH Hi! I'm a signature virus! Copy me into your sig and help me spread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 Congratulations Shyguy with the birth of your daughter Boots, fascinating footwear http://s70.photobucket.com/albums/i103/Boots_1956/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 well done to you Shyguy and Mrs. Shyguy ! 10lbs isn't a huge amount, my sister was 9lbs 3oz, I was 5lbs 4oz. I'm now 5'8" and she's 5'2" just goes to show that birth weight has nothing to do with adult size! congratulations again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurieheels Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 Congratulations to you, Shyguy and family. As for what Francis was saying, well, I think birth weight goes to show how hungry the baby was in those nine or so months. And maybe, what kind of cravings the mother had. Hey, interesting study idea. Birth weight as a correlation of what a mother craved during pregnancy. It would be interesting. Here's hoping your child grows up healthy, well adjusted, and open minded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamyam Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Congratulations! 10lb is a lot for a baby! Mrs. Shyguy must have had her work cut out there Apparently birth weight is a good indicator of health in later life, so a 10lb'er should grow up nice and strong. My little one has gone from 8lb 4oz to 'incredibly heavy' in five years Obsessed is such a strong word.

Arctic Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Congratulations! In about 17 years or so you can take revenge for the lack of sleep on sunday morning when she has been out Bert What's all the fuss about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julietta Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 Congratuations to you both. :bday: I know it is tiring but try to make the most of the baby period it goes by really fast, then you are faced with the terrible two's, the troublesome three's, the cheeky four's, the more cheeky five's, six's, seven's eight's nine's......... I must be a glutton for punishement I've had three Let calm be widespread May the sea glisten like greenstone And the shimmer of summer Dance across your pathway "Communication is a two way thing" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azraelle Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 My wife and I had had 5 before the divorce, 2-d's, 3-s's. Glutton for punishment? Glutton for Joy, rather, I'd say. No amount of "punishment" could ever erase the joy and happiness that children bring if you are willing to put their needs above your own (and if you're not you shouldn't even consider being a parent in the first place--unfortunately, becoming a parent is usually the last thing that is on the minds of unmarried teens "in love" ).

Yamyam Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 I'd have to agree. Children are little joy factories! The best sound in the world is a little voice going "Dad!" (or "Mom", as appropriate ) I only have one, and I don't see him anywhere near enough... but I'd have lots more if I could! Obsessed is such a strong word.

shyguy Posted April 19, 2003 Author Share Posted April 19, 2003 I agree YamYam I'm overjoyed with my little girl. My wife bought 3 girls with her too and I love them all. Babies are time wasters, I can spend all day just watching our new addition and resisting the urge to pick her up every few minutes Thanks everyone for sharing in my happiness Shyguy He was so narrow minded he could see through a keyhole with both eyes.

deck Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Congratulations Mr and Mrs Shyguy on the arrival of your daugher - she must be a year old by now. Have you taken her to have her ears pierced yet ? My wife and I think baby girls wearing earrings look so sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Nation Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 I think it'd be better to wait until she's old enough to decide for herself. Emma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shyguy Posted March 17, 2004 Author Share Posted March 17, 2004 Yeah, Emma's right, I don't believe in piercing baby's ears, or even kids until they are older. My wife wants her done at 2 years, I say not till shes 8 or 9 (the baby not my wife) He was so narrow minded he could see through a keyhole with both eyes.
