Newest Astros Fan
« on: October 24, 2005, 12:25:47 pm »
I don't want to interrupt the wailing and gnashing of teeth, but I wanted to announce the arrival of Sinclair Mae Tomczeszyn at 6:22 this morning.

She was 7 pounds and 18.5" long.  She also immediately told me that the Astros were going to win the next three games.  So there's that.

Mom and baby are happy and healthy.  Dad is exhausted and a little hung over.

Congratulations!
News that is sufficiently bad somehow carries its own guarantee of truth.  Only good reports need confirmation.

She is the first girl, and she has a brother (Jake).

Congrats Andy... it's the greatest feeling in the world.
I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.

Holy smokes!  That means you left your pregnant wife, 8 hours from delivery, to go drink beer and watch baseball at a bar with us.  I'm going to cry.

Congratulations!
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

Andyzipp, you're my hero.  Either your wife was drugged up, or you are a dead man.  Congrats.  I hope she lets you see the baby again!

Congratulations - our first came home from the hospital during the WS, too.  (1998: Yanks sweep Pads)  I remember watching it with no sound our last night in the hospital.  It's great to have a boy and a girl.

Congratulations!  IIRC the last thing I asked you before you left the pub was when the baby was due.  I now have the answer.  I have to agree with the posting about not dressing her in the bee outfit.

Congrats.  Remember, it's never too early to bind that right arm.  Gender presents no issues for the benefits of left-handedness.
