Huzzah and congratulations!!!

[Dragonrider]

YAY! A baby! :smallbiggrin:

One of my cousins was born two months premie. She is now nine years old, still below the chart for height and weight, but sharp as a tack and maturity-wise AHEAD of most kids her age. :smallamused:

So go, Nathan, and don't let being little stop you for one minute! :smallwink:

[Belkarsbadside1]

CONGRATULATIONS

Have fun having no life for the next 18-22 years.

[Coidzor]

Congratulations. Hope the hair didn't get in the way or anything. :smallbiggrin:

I wonder if it looks like a bowl cut or something....

[Dragonrider]

Congratulations. Hope the hair didn't get in the way or anything. :smallbiggrin:

I wonder if it looks like a bowl cut or something....

You've never seen newborn hair? :smalltongue:

It's usually all wispy, having never been cut.

[Mando Knight]

Have fun having no life for the next 18-22 years.

It's not so much "no life" as "a completely different life." The pleasures that you found enjoyable before may become even more enjoyable if/when you find your child shares your interests.

18 years? No, it's probably only 14 to 21 years, depending on what you find enjoyable... or even fewer, for ...less risky pleasures (comic books, Sonic the Hedgehog, comic books of Sonic the Hedgehog, LEGO, literature... whatever). When he's old enough, (and raised correctly... family values can be passed on) he can become as much a compatriot and friend as much as a subordinate and ward... which is one definition of son...

[Dallas-Dakota]

LEGO, literature...
For some reason I read it like this the first time I read it :

LEGO literature...
....

Let's hope he'l turn out to be a good kid, hmm?
Also once again, best of luck with having two kids now. Also, pay attention to William, he's going to feel underappreciated because his lil' bro wil be hogging much of the attention. Please don't let this happen, I've seen it happen to many times already.(Pretty big family)(As in age spread.)

[Coidzor]

You've never seen newborn hair? :smalltongue:

It's usually all wispy, having never been cut.

Well, I mean, I've seen like...a bit, maybe. Babies scare me with their delicateness and yet I'm curious about them since I was once one.

I hear they also steal your life force away in order to grow up into and become adults themselves...

[Madmal]

bah, feeling unapreciated can be good for him, he'll learn to share. And this coming from an only-child.

[Griever]

Congrats you two!! :smallbiggrin:

[Lex-Kat]

Congratulations. I'm sure he's beautiful to see. And a great name. Wishing you the best. :smallsmile:

[Dallas-Dakota]

bah, feeling unapreciated can be good for him, he'll learn to share. And this coming from an only-child.
Meh, this is coming from me, he-who-wants-to-spoil-their-children-rotten.
Or something.:smalltongue:

[Yoritomo Himeko]

Glad to hear it! I'm glad everyone's ok. Congratulations!

[The Orange Zergling]

Congratulations! When will he play his first game of D&D, 5, 6 years? Days? :smalltongue:

[Dragonrider]

Well, I mean, I've seen like...a bit, maybe. Babies scare me with their delicateness and yet I'm curious about them since I was once one.


Baby hair: :smallbiggrin:
It's kind of...fungal looking. It just is on the head.

[Ranna]

CONGRATULATIONS

Wow that took ages!!

[The Valiant Turtle]

Congrats to all! Good to hear everyone's doing well.

[phoenixineohp]

CONGRATULATIONS!

Well, that solves the boredom problem ER... :smallwink:

My best wishes and blessing for the whole family!

[Icewalker]

I feel like we need a stronger word than congratulations...

That's...I can't come up with anything.

Really really REALLY congratulations? Still not right...hrm...this needs further thought...

[pingcode20]

Ultracongratulations!

Best wishes, and my condolences for your sleep cycles. :smallbiggrin:

Um, yeah. Congratulations. Also, he's adorable and looks like he's in great shape.

[Ceric]

Omigosh!!! Congratulations!!!

Now give us pictures! :smallwink:

[Thes Hunter]

Congrats!


Here is your certificate for one free night of babysitting.

Good for one night of going out on the town, while I sit and play with William and watch Jon Jr. and get cheetos crumbs in your couch. :smallbiggrin:

[Skippy]

Congratulations!! I'm glad everyone is fine!!!

Aww, you looked like a little monkey...
*begins running from the inevitable retaliation... but not too fast*

Congrats, Andy, Emm, Will, and (now) Jonno. I'm glad to hear everyone is healthy.

[Andre Fairchilde]

A couple of photos from last night, when he was *around* 13 hours old.

[Madmal]

well, damm, i can't see them. :smallannoyed:

[TwoBitWriter]

Me neither! :smallfrown: I was hoping to get my daily recommended dose of adorable.

[Andre Fairchilde]

:smalleek:

Hmm. Why not?

Try this?

[TwoBitWriter]

Wow... thats a baby alright :smallamused:

It is just too cute, I can't wait until my wife and I start having babies!

[Andre Fairchilde]

(thanks for letting us know it worked)

[dish]

Wow... thats a baby alright :smallamused:

It is just too cute, I can't wait until my wife and I start having babies!

I completely agree with you, except, as I am the wife, I'm a little less keen to go through with the whole pregnancy-followed-by-labour bit. Why can't we just get storks to deliver babies to us?

Anyway, gorgeous, gorgeous baby. I adore his hair. And is that Andre's hand in there as well?

[whitehelm]

Congratulations Andre and ER!

[Jibar]

Awwwwww etc.
He's beautiful guys.
Congratulations again.

[Korith]

Santa said babies came from the North Pole. :smallbiggrin:

But congrats to Emerald Rose and Andre Fairchilde!

[TwoBitWriter]

Its funny to think we all started off looking like that...

And Dish, my wife and I are going to wait to have children until we have bought a house...which is only about a year away... :smalleek:

[Dragonrider]

Ooh, baby, baby, it's a wild world.... But WELCOME TO IT!!!

Cute pictures :smallbiggrin:

[Supagoof]

EPIC WIN! :biggrin:

Man, he looks just like his dad. I mean, look at those hands - those are good for rolling 20s! I've seen Andre "role" and roll well, and young jr here will certainly fill the role of rolling like his dad rolls "roles".

Congratulations Andre and ER. Another "dragonborn" brought into the fold. Now the only question is - will he be wizard or warrior in nature? William is definitely warrior, so I'd wager opposite for Johnny.

[Andre Fairchilde]

I don't know, he's about as feisty as Wiliam was when he was born too.

What's wrong with more than 1 warrior in the home? :smallwink:

He's a day old and off the respirator and breathing on his own.

It'll be a few weeks before we get him home, because I guess right now he can only do one of the three following:

Breathe or
Suck or
Swallow

So the little guy is not on solid foods yet, and it'll be at least three weeks or so before we can consider him coming home.

[EmeraldRose]

Just a quick post, as sitting up enough to type is still pretty...uncomfortable.

I finally got to hold Nathan this morning, since I was able to get up and tolerate a wheelchair ride down to the NICU. He continues to do awesome, and my visit was not long enough :smallfrown:

I'm slowly feeling better. Thanks to everyone who was thinking about us this last week.

I'll explain the funny story later :smallsmile:

[TwoBitWriter]

Its awesome to hear from you! Glad to know that things are going well! :smallbiggrin:

Well, as a second one... we thought our second boy will be the silent, thoughtful type since we already had an explosive, stubborn and wild one. Now we discover that our first is more the silent, thoughtful type...

CONGRATULATIONS ON THE BIRTH OF YOUR

*kicks McAfee*

[KerfuffleMach2]

Because I haven't said it yet, congratulations!

[The Bushranger]

Congratulations!

[Mountain_Faerie]

He looks beautiful! We are so happy for all of you. Hugs and kisses from the Hippie Hut...

[UncleWolf]

Well, he looks to be in good health.
I have the feeling that he will join the ranks of the Paladin. Possibly Monk. (Hopefully both, like me) :smallbiggrin:

[onasuma]

I forgot to say this previously, so let me say it now: Congratulations!

And i get told im weird for already wanting kids aged 15... Babies are awesome! (Note: no plans as of yet, in case any of you were wondering...)

[thubby]

how did i manage to miss this thread for 2 days? :smallconfused:

congratz, and good luck.

[Exachix]

Congratulations to you both.

May he grow up to roleplay well. =).

[SweetLikeLemons]

Congratulations! I am so glad to hear you are both doing well. He is adorable!

[banjo1985]

Congratulations to the both of you! Glad to hear the little guys doing well and that you're getting better.

Pretty good size and weight for an early baby too, and he looks well! :smallbiggrin:

[Charity]

He is tres bonny!
Congrats again to the pair of you!

Was he a ceaser ER? I guess thats why you are finding it hard to sit up, always tricky after the surgeon cuts through all those muscles and all. I wish you a speedy recovery, and I feel your pain, both of ours went straight to special care, and both were ceasers.

[Shadowcaller]

I suppose I should say something too...

I'm not really good at babies and such thought so I guess I will just say congratulations:smallsmile:.

[Ink]

Belated congratulations, guys. I'm thrilled for all of you and so happy that everyone's okay. Good on you :smallsmile:.

[EmeraldRose]

He is tres bonny!

Yes, he was an emergency section, as he had a foot out, and I was having no contractions. :smalltongue:

I am home from the hospital since Friday. Still having trouble moving, but it is getting better every day. (And I have pain killers for when it is not...) It's nice to not have to stay in bed all the time, but having to pump every three hours has its own annoyances.

Baby is doing great! He's got no more IVs, only wearing the nasal feeding tube (since he's still to little to nurse) and his monitors. It's much nicer knowing he hasn't got to be stuck and restuck every time they need to move a line somewhere else.

He's up to 3.6 lbs (1.63 kgs for the rest of you :smallbiggrin:) and eating 29 mls every 3 hours.

It's still really hard since he is there, and I am not, but I'm trying to reconcile with the fact that it's likely to be awhile yet before he can come home...:smallfrown:

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

Ah, Congrats! I didn't notice this thread until now...

[Flame of Anor]

Megamacrokilocongratulations!

And what goof said it was twelve years until he could start gaming? Start him as soon as he can read!

[Coidzor]

Megamacrokilocongratulations!

And what goof said it was twelve years until he could start gaming? Start him as soon as he can read!

Hell, I started while I was still learning how to!

Megamacrokilocongratulations!

And what goofTrog said it was twelve years until he could start gaming? Start him as soon as he can read!
Fixed it for you. Goofs and Trogs are often mixed up, but you can consort with Goofs. :smalltongue:

I know any child born unto the Fairchilde clan will be rolling as soon as their hands can grip dice. :smallamused:

I know this because he's the only one in the ICU who has a DM screen up next to his crib.

I'm not saying the Fairchilde's are into gaming, but I did have to roll a open door check with a DC of 17 last time I was over at their place. :smallwink:

[Vagnarok]

Wow, I'm really happy for the both of you. I hope you're not sick of congratulatory messages yet, because you're going to get a lot more!

May your baby kick monstrous amounts of butt during its life.

[Crispy Dave]

congrats give the baby this cookie
