This is "the hubby", as I am affectionately referred to on this blog. And why am I posting, as opposed to my lovely wife, you might ask? We'll, she currently is laying in the hospital with baby McDaniel #4. (Actually, baby McDaniel is probably laying in the nursery while mommy sleeps, got to take advantage of the hospital staff while we can.) Anyway, I promised a few of you that I'd do my best to get some pics posted tonight, so here you are:
Oh and by the way, she's a girl. We were both guessing boy so we were a little surprised.
It's late and I'm sleep deprived, so I'm just going to cut straight to the necessary details. Mom's water broke at 3:30 a.m. Monday morning. We arrived at the hospital at 5:00 a.m. Baby joined us at 7:10 a.m. 7 pounds, 4 ounces, 20 inches, slimy and cute. Mom and baby are doing well. Mom's awesome sister "nursed" us through the whole thing, even though it was her day off. In keeping with Mom's prohibition on names on this blog, you will have to call to find out that little detail. We have yet to settle on a middle name, but we've got the first pinned down.
Mom and baby are doing great. Older sisters are ecstatic. Brother was mildly entertained for a moment. More later.
