Great ideas! This is son # 2 (I have a daughter in between). I'm so very blessed. =)

[Billie]

She's just beautiful, Jinx!

Congratulations to the proud parents and grandparents.

The sum of squares of any two sides of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

So she's beautiful and a genius . . . congratulations and God's blessings on her precious life.

[HiJinx]

You are soooo talented, Billie!
Bless you, and thank you.

Piper will now have this to enjoy forever.

[HiJinx]

Thank you Kathy!

Tears to my eyes at sweet,angelic Lil' Piper -grins-. You did good Grandma. The new joy of your life! It is so much better being a grandparent, mine are 10,5,2 ;)

Hey! If somebody who only weighs 6 pounds can have a double chin, I don't feel so bad now! LOL!!!

Lovely, alert child. Thank you for sharing the pictures. Thank you for sharing the wonderful news!

(I put a picture up of the MBABGDITW2 on the Canteen. Perchance if -- for some reason -- you've been too busy to see it, you can remind me later and I'll proudly arrange a private showing!) ;)

Many many thanks for all the kind words and prayers from all the gallant FReepers!

Beth, Piper and I are all home now. It's a little after noon on Friday. The baby's doctor told us that she is as perfect as can be. Beth and I are pretty tired (moreso her than me), but it's much easier being at home.

Thanks again to everyone. I'll try and keep you posted as things develop. So far, we've gotten the first smile, the first wailing session, the first big burp, the first really dirty diaper (oh yeah, I found that little surprise...), the first car ride, and a few other firsts that never really seemed relevant or important until now!

As a last thought...what should her FR name be?

[Fawnn]

Welcome to the FReeperWorld,
Piper Louise Ruth!!!

[beachn4fun]

WaHOO! Congrats. Happy Father's Day and Happy Grandfather's Day! WELCOME PIPER. That is a lovely name!

As for a FR handle, how about AZ Flybaby? Or, Flyboy's Baby? Or Flyboy's Piper?

[Brad’s Gramma]

WOWOWOWOW!!!

HOW did I miss this ping? Congratulations to ALL of you!

I'll have to work on that Freeper name...This is SO exciting!

[Fawnn]

Gramma gets credit for the idea for this one. (If Piper has a different favorite color rather than pink, just let me know and we can "redecorate.")


Welcome to FreeRepublic, Piper!!!

Piper has adjusted to being home very nicely. Last night was our first relatively easy night. Piper had her typical wakings, but it wasn't until 4:00AM until she had some gas that we just couldn't get rid of. Poor thing was hiccuping like mad! After trying to burp her in every safe position I know, I went to lay her back down in the cradle to look through one of our books when she let out a burp that woke up her Mommy!!!

I'll be sure and keep you up to date as things progress. Everyday is something new, so I'll have plenty to write about!

[Libertina]

Welcome little FReeper Piper :)
Congratulations to you all! An entire FReeper family :) Piper is definitely in good hands and we look forward to her first posts ;)

[Brad’s Gramma]

Everyday is something new, so I'll have plenty to write about!

That it is! Praise God for that wonderful baby, and for her having GREAT parents. THANK YOU for letting us know how she's doing. Big Burp And All! LOL!

HiJinx.

I was in another state when you posted these pictures of the blessed granddaughter.

I tried my very best to post a response but could not. My satellite card connection kept dropping me. *Sigh*

Alas, I have found the thread and want to say, how very beautiful she is.


I remember so well my first grandchild. WHOO HOO!
It as a grandson. I walked on air for days.

I ask God's Blessing on your family.

[HiJinx]

Sweet Ms. Feather, He has blessed indeed.

Piper seems more beautiful with each passing day. When our first child was born, I didn't think life could get any better. With the coming of his child, I find I was quite wrong!

Thank you.
