After a tense 3-hour long C-section, my wife and I were blessed to receive June Elizabeth.
10lbs 4.4 oz., take THAT, Genovese Nero breba!

I thought I'd share our joy with the fig family.
Mom and baby are bonding and resting comfortably.

The same doctor delivered both our children, 3 years and 3 days apart.
He had a memorable one-liner for both of them.
With our son (10lbs 8.5 oz), he said "Congratulations, it's a third grader!"
With our daughter last night, he said "Wow! And this is your smaller baby!"

Congratulations. What a bonny baby!

Congrats, I have three myself. being a dad is a trip. wouldnt trade it for anything in the world. 10lbs babies geeze thats big. no wonder momma need a c section. wish her a speedy recovery.

God bless and good luck! It was interesting when our first-born met the new baby. A very special time (of intense sleep deprivation) I'll always remember. 

Congratulations!

Congrats Rui! I also have a 3 year old.

Congrats man,

I have two kids myself. First one came out at 9lbs... the second at 11lbs 4 oz.... we had nurses from all over the hospital just to see him.

Congratulations to you both!

Welcome to your little girl, congratulations to you and her Mom. A whole new kind of love like no other when you have a child as you know, Daddy- Daughter relationship is very special. Cherish all the moments. Mike in Hanover, VA

Congrats on your cutie!

Thank you everybody, for your well wishes and kind words. The little pumpkin is sleeping peacefully on my chest right now, and my wife is getting a much needed nap. Life's funny. There's so much sadness and tragedy, but in between there are these little moments that give us faith and courage. Rob, only God knows the answer to your question :) Francisco, um momento incrível. Beba dois! Mark, you bet I'll do that. My son loves going to the meadow to check on the figgies and grapies. MGorski, here here! Harvey, I knew you were sending us a good vibe. Bob, I don't doubt that! Thank you, everyone. I will read all these great responses to my wife.

Congratulations to you and the wife, Rui!  And a blessed welcome to June Elizabeth.  

Congratulations On your new baby.

Thank you Nate and Swizzle.

CONGRATS!!!
 and welcome to June Elizabeth!!

how sweet! congratulations, hope you get some sleep also.

Thank you Greg. Thank you Grasa. She will undoubtedly enjoy your Adriatic figs. She's running on a 1.5 hour cycle, so no sleep here!

Precious :)

Thank you Aaron. Home and Dry. Let the sleep deprivation begin full force, I'm on vacation for two weeks.

I really missed this one. But congrats on your newborn baby.
Wish you and your family all the best.
