It's a GIRL!

[Greebe]

Last night Zwish and wife had a beautiful baby smurfette!

I'll quote,
"Elizabeth Frappier -- 3.160 Kg lenght - yeah she got that... but I don't know :-) looks like blond or red head... very cute, well how could she not be :-)"

Sounds to me like he's still just a tad overwhelmed by all the excitement.

Cheers, Alex!

How to Tell If You're Ready to Have Children
THE MESS TEST:
Smear peanut butter on the sofa and curtains. Now rub your hands in the wet flower bed and rub on the walls. Cover the stains with crayons. Place a fish stick behind the couch and leave it there all summer.

THE TOY TEST:
Obtain a 55-gallon box of Legos. (If Legos are not available, you may substitute roofing tacks or broken bottles.) Have a friend spread them all over the house. Put on a blindfold. Try to walk to the bathroom or kitchen. Do not scream. (This could wake a sleeping child.)

THE DRESSING TEST:
Obtain one large, unhappy, live octopus. Stuff into a small net bag, making sure that all arms stay inside.

THE FEEDING TEST:
Obtain a large plastic milk jug. Fill halfway with water. Suspend from the ceiling with a stout cord. Start the jug swinging. Try to insert spoonfuls of soggy cereal (such as Fruit Loops or Cheerios) into the mouth of the jug, while pretending to be an airplane. When finished, dump the contents of the jug on the floor.

THE NIGHT TEST:
Prepare by obtaining a small cloth bag and fill it with 8-12 pounds of sand. Soak it thoroughly in water. At 8 p.m. begin to waltz and hum with the bag until 9 p.m. Lay down your bag and set your alarm for 10 p.m. Get up, pick up your bag, and sing every song you have ever heard. Make up about a dozen more and sing these until 4 a.m. Set alarm for 5 a.m. Get up and make breakfast. Keep this up for 5 years. Look cheerful.

THE PHYSICAL TEST (WOMEN):
Obtain a large beanbag chair and attach it to your front under your clothes. Leave it there for 9 months. Now remove 10 of the beans.

THE PHYSICAL TEST (MEN):
Go to the nearest drugstore. Set your wallet on the counter. Ask the clerk to help himself. Now proceed to the nearest food store. Go to the head office and arrange for your paycheck to be directly deposited to the store. Purchase a newspaper. Go home and read it quietly for the last time.

THE FINAL ASSIGNMENT:
Find a couple who already has a small child. Lecture them on how they can improve their discipline, patience, tolerance, toilet training, and child's table manners. Suggest many ways they can improve. Emphasize to them that they should never allow their children to run rampant. Enjoy this experience. It will be the last time you have all the answers.

Well, I guess you passed Guru's test...
Gefeliciteerd (congratulations )

Thanks guys. yup got back today with that little darling. Everything is fine and dandy and it feels pretty good to be back

It's so true that we always find our babys to be the cutest things alive Still wondering if she'll be a red head like my wife... for now at least all I can say is that she's a lot smaller

[Zwisch]

Oh and Kruzin... She was supposed to be born on Halloween... Oct 31st, so no new year excitment for me (at least none that got that result ).

My wife had some complications with high blood pressure and protein in her urine sample... the only cure what to force labor 3 weeks in advance. So our nice little monthly doctors appointment finished with a lot of pain, headhache, no sleep and a great deal of pleasure at the end. Almost 2 days of hard labor that finished with a ceasarian (might not be spelled this way, but you get the picture ). Important thing, kid and wife are healthy and all is now fine... with some extra action in the house.

Cheers

Alex
