My baby-girl!
 

Hello, its been a while....and it has a good reason! My gf gave birth on december 25th to a girl named Tess! A really special christmas gift!
I dont know if this is the right place to post the pics, but there is no real parenting yet, she just leads a great life right now, eating and sleeping! :p

First of all, congratulations to the proud parents!!

Now--durn it, York, I can't see the pictures!!

Congratulations.

I don't see any pictures either. Did you get the 100k limit when you tried to post? If so, you can use Irfanview to cut down your images. Just remember to rename the new images or set up a new directory.

Born on Christmas day? You're going to have to remember to get birthday gifts and holiday gifts. Mixing the two doesn't usually work out.;)

Is it girlfriend or fiancee?:rolleyes:

Over here i still call it my girlfriend, but also my fiancee, my wife...we just love eachother, and there is no rush in marrying... technically we are nothing, practically we are it all! :blush:
Ill try post the pics again, they cant be too big, 2 of them wer taken with my cellphone! Oh yeah, she is 47cms ( dont know the inches ) and 5.2 pounds! ( 2.6kg)

There are people in our family who didnt see the baby yet... :blush: And its true what everyone says...it changes your life...
The New York thing ill try to explain her...;later! :p

Congratulations to you, your lady, and your beautiful little one!!

New York. *snort* Good one, els.

congratulations York and New York!

the inch3 says "a big gigantics, a big baby, a biggest baby, a littlest baby"

Baby's fingers are amazing things, no? Grats, york

Theyr toes are cool too...but maybe not as cool as the fingers... :blush:

I'm thinking you should at least consider the name Pattie.

hèhè and why is that? Im not really used to the customs they use in a faraway land... :)

She looks sweeter than a peppermint patty. ;)

Congrats, York.

Darnit, BigV ... now I want a Special Edition Chocolate Truffle Mint ...

Thanks BigV , thats pretty "cool" hèhè :yum:
Ive never heared of York Mints.... Over here i only know King Mints...
And now im gonna try make me something minty-choclaty....my mini-mint is asleep...Yyiiihhaaaa :lol:

I'm pretty sure there's a law against Brits saying "Yeehaw"... ;)

Yeah, and if there isnt , they should make one! But i got no probs with that...im living in Belgium! Its a good and simple life we have.... ;)

i LOVE that pic of her with her binky! It's too cute!!

(and now I, too, want a Special Edition York chocolate truffle mint! Damn you BigV!)

You and yours are all most welcome!

One is glad to have been of service.

While we're on the topic of your ignorance of American chocolate idioms, I humbly suggest you replace the phrase mini-mint with Junior Mints. I'm just sayin'.

Sweet baby sweet pic. nice!

Congrats ^^ That's a cute baby.

Damn BigV , i guess you'r living in The Minty promised-land! ;)
There seems to be a mint for everything i do! :p
edit: but the pics are so useable!!

Happy Birthday, York. :D

Thank you very much Bruce! You know what? My gf s birthday is on the same day! Normally we would go out to eat and have a drink but with the baby and grandparents visiting we didnt get the chance! But tonightwe got a babysitter... ;)

Enjoy yourselves, good luck NOT talking about the new addition :)

My folks shared a birthday and look how I turned ou.........
Oh, that poor kid. :lol:

There is a couple at work who met at the hospital, married, and both have the same birthday, so he cannot fall back on the typical man-excuse of "I forgot."

He can still screw up on the anniversary because they decided to choose a different date for that.

:D

Hey, me again here! I just took some new pics ...she growed a good bit in a couple a weeks....My bigger baby-girl is one month now! ;)
The second one kind a funny...guess what she's thinking...

thanks, York! That second one made me laugh and lifted my spirits! what a sweetheart you've got there! She looks like she's got a bit of red in her hair.

that is a possibility Brianna! My father was kinda reddish too! :p

I think I have a pretty good idea....

Hahahaha thats great!! And very usable!! Tnx!! :lol:

:p

She's super sweet, York. A real cutie-pie.

Thanks very much! : :p

She is adorable.

Buy a shotgun.

Now.

(This is a common american joke. The shotgun is to be put away until she is old enough to discover boys. They boys are to be made aware of the shotgun, and of the father's potential wrath should his little girl be deflowered before an appropriate period of courtship, giving of a ring with a large diamond on it, and exchange of wedding bands)

Euh, i have a gun , but not a shotgun....will it do if it aint big? :blush:

This is for fighting and this is for fun.

Hello again, meanwhile wer a little bit further and everything still going good!
She's getting prettier every day, just like her dad! :D

Well, I've seen it before. I think it was in the mirror:lol:

Somebody get this child an agent and a baby food label contract! What a doll!

Methinks York is quite smitten! Daddy's Girl! Lucky!

Hèhè, merci beaucoup! The latest....

The husband and I have been kicking around the idea of trying for #2 this spring, and seeing your *adorable* pics makes me want one for sure! We recently tested the water with the 3yr old, mentioning to her that someday she could be sharing mommy and daddy with a baby too. She seems excited, for now, and wants a sister. In fact, she's been bringing it up out of the blue quite a bit. Now, to convince the other half to let me go off the pill and actually start trying.... :stork:

Haha , being part of wanting a baby feels kinda weird!:p So you have a girl already? And she would like a sister? Let her talk to daddy, and he will give in! I love my baby-girl and hate to see her going to daycare starting tommorow...they grow up so fast...she's only 3 months but time is flying by!
My Gf never wanted kids before she met me...if it was up to me i would go for a brother in a year or two...but right now its not a good idea to talk about another baby! I will also wait till my girl is big enough to talk and if she wants a brother my Gf couldnt say no! Hahahahaha I guess we ll see what time brings!

It was really tough sending Rugrat to daycare, but I did a lot of research. Including spending at LEAST an hour hanging out in the infant rooms of the couple of places I had narrowed it down to after visiting about 8 that made the initial cuts. Before she actually started in the one she is in now, I spent a couple of hours there for the Thurs and Fri before the Mon she actually started. They welcomed me and thought that it was a great idea. The first day, a few hours after I had been at work there was a telephione call for me. It was the daycare, just calling to let me know she was doing fine. !! Well over half of the staff that was there 3 years ago are still there, as well as most of the kids that she started with.

Our main concern in having another is/was the time crunch. As the first little one gets older and more independant, you find you gradully have more and more free time to yourself, time alone the 2 of you, as well as a lot more frequent full nights of sleep. (Oh Yeah!!) Up until recently I wasn't ready to give that up, but the scales have ever so slightly tipped in the "it's only for a short time, and totally worth it" direction, for me anyhow.

It's great that you spent so much time checking out each place. Not only does it help you get a feel for the place, but it lets the staff there get to know you too. It can only make things better when everyone is more familiar with each other.

Yep , its real good that u did that! U will always know she's in good hands if u convinced yourself! I guess its something every parent should do or at least try to...Daycare is important for the rest of their development! In my case, the daycare is in the same building as where my Gf s mom is living! They know eachother for a long time now...She's great with kids, over here its very hard to find one...there arent many and most of them are full! So we wer lucky to know someone... Its gonna be for 3 and 2 days a week, mondays my Gf is home, and thuesday she goes to grandma! Same thing the week after but one extra day to go to the other grandma ...;)
Our baby is sleeping thrue the night 9pm till 7 am for 2 weeks now...
Off course every kid is different so you ll never know how it 'll be next time!
But i know what u mean...i like kids enough to have more:D ...but its a bit early for a decision like that...and yes, its all worth it! ;)
If u and ur hubby are ok with it and you follow your heart....GO GO GO

Hard to believe that innocent baby is going to grow up to be a spoiled rotten adolescent. :lol:
