Welcome to the world Baby Fosco

[Fosco33]

Hey Rats-

My wife and I had our first baby on Wednesday morning. We named her Emily Reese and she's a bundle of joy.

6lb 10oz, 19''

I'm as proud as 'chubbyhubby'. :D

And she will be watching the game with me on Monday night so she can say she's been a Packer fan ALL her life 8-)

Cheers!

Emily Reese Fosco33. It rolls trippingly from the tongue. Really, congratulations! Just remember, in 18-25 short years you'll be able to get a good night's sleep.

[Harlan Huckleby]

My wife and I

thank god. one bastard-child scandal is about all i can stomach this week.

Congratulations, your baby appears to be more perfect in every way than Chubbyhubby's.

Just pray she doesn't show up in Skinbaskets' signature line.

[HowardRoark]

We look forward to reading your posts at random hours of the night/early morning.

Congratulations. New chapter of life.

Congrats, Fosco!! She is adorable.

[oregonpackfan]

Congrats, Fosco!

When she turns 5 or so, get her involved in sports--softball, soccer, basketball, etc. I had a blast coaching and/or watching my daughters play sports.

5? are you crazy? You wait that long and she'll never make the Olympics. get her into the gym at 2-3 years. And make sure you let her know that nothing short of the gold is acceptable. Kids love that stuff - they really respond well to repeated, withering, demeaning criticism.

Congratulations! Having daughters are a good thing............

[HarveyWallbangers]

Congratulations! Having daughters are a good thing............

Congrats! And I agree with this.

[mraynrand]

I'm glad you wife's Surge has succeeded.

[retailguy]

Congrats Fosco.... Buy lots of diapers. We're in a tough economy and we appreciate your support. Just make sure you don't buy any chinese diapers. we don't need your money going overseas.... :P

[Freak Out]

She's a beautiful girl buddy. :glug:

[LL2]

Congrats...she's a cutie. Did the middle name Reese come from Reese Witherspoon?

[Harlan Huckleby]

I think it came from the peanut butter cups.

[mraynrand]

Congrats...she's a cutie. Did the middle name Reese come from Reese Witherspoon?

More likely from the Michael Biehn character in Terminator.

[MadtownPacker]

Congratulations! Having daughters are a good thing............Yeah,they keep shotgun manufactures in business! :lol:


Congrats Fos!!! Looks like she took after Mama* you lucky bastard. Might as well start teaching her that boys are scumbags as early as possible. :oops:

(*note: I have met Fosco and Mommy and this is a very good thing)

[MJZiggy]

She already has that slightly mistrusting look in that second shot. This is a good thing. Have you got her in full Packer gear yet?

Congrats and enjoy!! She won't be little for long...

[Partial]

Congrats dude! May she be blessed with health and happiness!

Hey Rats-

My wife and I had our first baby on Wednesday morning.

Well, technically--your wife had a baby and you just kind of stood there. :lol:

[Scott Campbell]

What a great time. Enjoy, and congrats.

[GrnBay007]

Congrats Fosco! What a beautiful baby!! :D

[FavreChild]

No congratulations 'til you can assure us that she's a Packer fan.

Still in the hospital - but I made a onesie that has 'Bears Suck' and 'Go Pack!' on it :-)

I'll post it before gametime hopefully.

(She is also going to be a Badger Rat in the making and does have all the gear for that).

Thanks for all the kind words-

[oregonpackfan]

At a baby shower for one of my teacher colleagues, I gave her a Green Bay Packer onesie for the 9-12 month old range. When her daughter finally reached the age to wear it, her husband( a devout 49'er fan) bellowed, "Where the hell did that come from!?" :lol:

Then he remembered, "Oh yeah, I forgot you work with a Cheesehead." :)

[Maxie the Taxi]

Statler: “Hey, genius. What’s that baby doing in the Ratchat Forum.”
Waldorf: “Bawling, drooling and shitting her pants. Same as you.”

Statler, Waldorf and Maxie: Congrats Fosco!!

[GBRulz]

I just remembered something, Fosco.... I was at the Pro Shop last week and I saw these new picture frames. Has the Packer logo on it and says "Born to be a Packers fan". It was really cute! Great idea for a new baby!!

Also had a new arrival of wine glasses....great idea for Mom and Dad, too! :wink:

[mraynrand]

Great idea for a new baby!!

Better ideas:

Good call Michelle. I just went online and got the frame, a bib and a little set of Packer gear for her to use on Sunday (smallest is 3-6 months so it's gonna be big on her this season).

[MJZiggy]

(smallest is 3-6 months so it's gonna be big on her this season).

Haha.

You're in for a fun year. (here's a hint...buy 3-6 month clothes now because she'll fit into them in about a month and a half, tops.

I'm clueless. So, manufacturers know this and don't update them?

[MJZiggy]

If manufacturers update them, then clueless parents will stop buying a bunch of clothes that the kid will outgrow in a couple weeks and will have to be replaced.... These little people grow up REALLY fast on you so always buy things a little big. (and smell her a lot and play with her toes...)

[HowardRoark]

(and smell her a lot and play with her toes...)

I think that's how it all started 9 months ago........

[mraynrand]

And that smell, it wrinkles my nose...touches, my foolish heart.

Love - ly....never ever change (those diapers).

[MJZiggy]

He can change them until she is weaned. I remember one of the first ones after my son was weaned nearly knocked me on my ass.

[sheepshead]

Cherish every minute! Good and bad!

Well, my wife works for Disney Consumer Products (Kohls, Walmart, etc) and has enough free clothes for about 5 years!

So, I think we'll be all good in buying other outfits 8-)

[MJZiggy]

Ok, but the baby smelling and toe playing still stands (as well as diaper avoidance after solid foods are started)

[Tarlam!]

Bump. I don't enter RR enough!

Best of luck, Fos, with Emily. Great name for the kid, BTW! Loved the photos - she looks adorable!!!

My wife had our 2nd baby this morning! A boy, 8lbs, 20''. Yes, he's a Packer fan already 8-)

Big sis is only 10.5 months olders - so true 'irish twins'. (yes, we planned it)

Still debating a name for this one... thinking Connor James or Shane Riley.

Congrats Fosco!!!

My 2 are close too....17 months....and it's great!!

[Harlan Huckleby]

Congrats, but I think the last baby was only 8 months ago. I thought that gestation period was a hard and fast rule. Oh well, live and learn.

[Fosco33]

Ha, they're 10.5 months apart. Since I'm on a local project, we tried about as soon as you can - and bam. rest is history.

[MJZiggy]

Congrats. I like the name choices too. Let us know which one you go with.

[Rastak]

Congrats Fos!

Hurray for Kegel exercises!

I always knew you were virile. Congrats!

Married people don't like to use condom or birth control...ditto, teenagers.

Condom and birth control are for college kids.

[Bretsky]

CONGRATS to you again Fosco :!: :!: :!:

[MichiganPackerFan]

Based on a previous comment, what's a gentle way to explain "gestation"?

[Fosco33]

Congrats. I like the name choices too. Let us know which one you go with.

Decided on Connor James (CJ). And we tied the tubes - so no chance in a 3 for 3 8-)

Congrats on the healthy kids Fosco. Three is a perfect pair though.....

[MJZiggy]

How old is the person you're explaining it to? I think grandma may have figured it out by now (yes, she knows what you've been doing), but with kids it depends on the age.
