Congratulations, Rycamor!

Psalm 127:3-5 “Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one’s youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them...

Congratulations to both of you!!!!

Thanks everybody. Yes, with 3, I can now say I have a small quiver-full. 2 didn't quite seem to qualify.

To answer everyone's questions in advance and... um retreat:

name: Rycamorina---I mean Caroline Emilie
weight: 7 lb, 11 oz.
height: 20.5"
completes next step in sequence of: girl-boy-girl
APGAR score: *ok dear*, I'll stop there

Mrs. ~brb, the other two are quite OK with the whole thing, especially our 8-year-old daughter, who I believe I can quote as saying "I hope she throws up 8 times a day so I can change her clothes!", while our 3-year-old son promises "I'll show her my 'kawate' moves."

Jeez. Next thing your gonna ask her age... Oh. Right.

[i]I'll show her my 'kawate' moves.[/i]

Boy is he going to be disappointed until he's old enough to use them to help you scare off suitors. Anyway, don't mean to scare [i]you[/i]... congrats and God bless, Rycamor.

Congratulations. You are blessed indeed.

Way to go Rycamor! I hope mom and baby girl are happy and healthy.

I'm envious, rycamour. While I desperately wanted my first child to be a boy (it's an only son of an only son whose three sisters produced seven daughters and no sons sort of thing), I would have dearly loved to have a daughter, too. Congratulations, yet again.

And yes, I was ably assisted by my wife, while I took on the arduous job of saying "You're doing great, Babe... deep breath now...", while trying not to make it too obvious when I wiped off the occasional tear with my sleeves.

As always, I stand in awe of what mothers go through.
