Welcome to a New Freeper
God ^ | October 9, 2003 | HiJinx

FReepers, please join me in welcoming AZ Flyboy's new daughter,

Piper Louise Ruth

to our FReeper family.

Az Flyboy's daughter, Piper Louise Ruth (unless they change their minds!) was born at 10:58 AM MST on October 9th, 2003. Mom, daughter, and Dad are all doing quite well. Piper has everything she’s supposed to have, and nothing we can see that she shouldn’t have! Her lungs are in excellent shape! She is just less than an hour old in these pictures.

At birth she weighed 6 lbs. 1 oz., and measured 20½ inches long. Look how she is trying to check out Grampa!

Grandma and Grandpa HJ are holding little Piper...look at that tiny hand.

Grandpa HJ is giving Piper a 'touch kiss'.

Her cheeks are just sooooo soft!

Piper loves her Mommy's daddy, too. Daddy's are really special people, you know!

Mommy's Mommy makes me smile...she's soft and cushy.

Look at all these fingers!

Grampa, that light is bright!

Okay, I can see out of one eye, now. Let's see if I can get the other one open.

Mommy's Mommy is wearing something blue...it's almost the same color as my eyes.

Ok, now I'm in Grandma HJs arms...she makes me want to snuggle down and go to sleep.

Grandma HJs finger is almost as long as my face!

Guess what color my hair is! Oh, you can't see it under my yellow cap. It's black!

Grandma HJ is really cushy, too. I hope she holds me a lot when I get home with Mommy and Daddy!

Ok, I'm going to stay in the hospital with Mommy and Daddy one more day. Mommy has Strep B thingies running around her body, and the nurses want to make sure I don't have them, too. I don't think I do, so I'll get to go home tomorrow.

Brad's Gramma...Grampa told me you two had a conversation a few days ago...did you know my Great-Grandma Palumbo went to be with God two years ago, today? I think she's the reason I made Mommy go to the hospital last night. She really loved her daughter and Daddy's Daddy. She must have wanted me to come down and make sure they were still happy...what do you think?

Here are the promised pictures.

Our little one started her contractions yesterday morning, went to the hospital last night, and delivered this morning around 11 AM.

Everyone came through with flying colors, except the grandparents in the waiting room!! It was a looooong night, and we didn't have the benefit of drugs!

Seriously, Mom is doing absolutely great...and she thanks everyone for their thoughts and prayers. They helped.

Thanks for your patience, all! Here are the pictures we promised.

Isn't she a cutie?

Not that I'm biased in any way...at least, no more than the major media outlets are biased!!!

Foxhole Friends? May I introduce you to the newest member of our FReeper Family?

This is just by way of letting you know why I've been out of touch for the last day or so!

Congrats.
All too soon she'll be asking for the car keys.

Daughters, I am told, are more fun to raise, they have the highest 'reward and satisfaction' value.
