...but I definitely don't mind. I'd give this cutie pie my last fig, ha! I'd like to introduce baby Sofia too the forum. This is our first baby and we couldn't be happier. Mama and baby are doing great and we're on our way home. Anyways, I've been in this forum for only a few months but send like I know all of you, just wanted to share my joy... __________________ Simon C. So.

Congratulations! I'm glad everyone is happy and healthy. I'd agree with Igor, but I'd see how things go with just one before getting ready for the second. My family always jokes that they're glad my firstborn was first.. because if it was the other way around, we'd only have one kid :P __________________ Alma from zone 7b.

Pino, you just gave me a great Idea... Simon, how would you like to name the Seedling that I have (unknown) after your princess? I'll give you the honor, your choice man :) This was my first ever Fig from my garden, from seed which makes her very original and unique.

Thank you all for the sweet messages. It truly is a great feeling being a father. Strangely, I thought I'd be a bit nervous but I'm feeling so confident and ready for fatherhood, haha. Lets see how long it takes for her to turn me into jello at her command. @Aaron, that would be such a great thing. __________________ Simon C. So.
