    For anyone who is interested, I just became a Dad again, when my beautiful new baby daughter was born this week.

    This is one of the few moments in a man's life when he can get away with being all soppy and emotional, but life doesn't get much more awesome than this.

    :D:happy::grin::aww::roll::banana::love::)

    One thing that isn't awesome is that my son and I have been home alone for only 3 nights and the house is already a bombsite. Yesterday, I found some 3 day old washing in the machine that I had to redo. I've got serious work to do to get this all cleaned up before the wife gets home...........

    Woot!! Congrats old man. I remember the day we brought my daughter home. My son, in his 3 year old wisdom, looked at me at the end of the day and said: "Daddy, it's time for the baby to go home."

    My response: "Hate to break this to you, buddy, but she is home . . . get used to it."

    My next glass of scotch I will drink on you, not that I needed the pretext, but that way it will appear almost altruistic to me ;) :heh:

    You're a dad "again"? At what point did you stop being a dad after your son was born?

    Anyway, congratulations on reclaiming the designation. :D

    I know Mrs. Snook has always been glad that we only have a son. She is convinced that there would be no way I could ever say no to Daddy's little girl. She is probably correct.

    Congrats to the entire family.

    Good point, Splunge. I must make better use of the English language.

    Aldeth, that's a great idea - although how would I stop playing just one more turn until dawn?

    dmc - I'm still not sure what our son really thinks about this. He seems a bit nonchalant, but I don't think he fully grasps just how seismic a change this is going to be to his world.

    Congratulations on being a Dad again HB. Let's just say I basically have the same observation as Splunge when I read the title of this post.

    Just remember when she grows up that daughters are a fathers punishment for having sex!

    (Can I say sex outside the MUG?)

    Congrats Harbourboy. If you haven't named her just yet, are you going to let us decide in a poll? :D
