It may be both, but that doesn't make it any less special. You thank God because sometimes no matter how hard you try, you can't bring about a baby.

Alright, that was poor phrasing in a thread about giving birth, especially considering what my wife and I went through to have our first child. Still, I give 99.9% of the credit to my wife, with the fraction going to me and the medical community. No divine intervention necessary.

Many Hap Ret's to your daughter Sloww, and congrats for surviving the 23 years

I remember when my son David was born (15/3/91) - My wife Georgina was pretty fast for a 1st timer: under 5 hours from 1st twinge to delivery.
The thing I remember about David is that I knew he was going to be bright - he was handed to me (my poor wife had some tearing so was having stiches ).
David looked up at my face, then he looked at my chest - and then he started to cry

Emma (16/8/94) was even faster than David was - under 3 hours.
By the time we got to the hospital Georgina was already fully dilated, which meant that she had zero pain relief for the whole labour
She's usually such a quiet thing but the way she screamed scared the hell out of me.
The thing I remember most about Emma was the nightimes at home (I was on nightshift as I could program and look after her at the same time). She would only sleep in the baby sling, on me, stood up!

With Lucy (15/4/01) we knew the labour would be fast (and it was, under 2 hours this time) so we went for a home birth
She was born in the kitchen with the attendance of no less than 3 midwives with a combined experience of over 50 years (gotta love our socialized NHS )
Lucy was an amazingly active baby - holding her head up at birth no less - trouble is she's still as active (I need caffine NOW!)

Oh slowwy! You have offspring! Congratulations!

Savor the years before the age of 10. They'll probably be the best years ever. And take lots of pictures! Preferably digital ones, so you can plaster her face all over the web
And have her join the Young Communists Party

This is really good, everyone is suddenly 23 and flirting with... the womans father? I did it first (23 thing) so I'm excused. The rest of you are just POOR and SAD LONELY MEN!

Anyway, if she reads this I have an advice to her:
Don't be fooled, in reality we are all bastards and sad people. Stay away from here. You'll be glad later. Trust me.

Slowwhand, Gongrats to you and happy birthday to Summer.

My own daughter, Monika, is 23. She was born in June. I too remember everything about the day she was born. I was actually with my wife the whole way. It was an experience, to say the least.

But I can tell you this. When I first held my daughter, the love I felt for her was overwhelming. There truly is a bond between a parent and child that cannot be explained, only experienced.

JUST as a warning, Ming the Merciless Bastard Jackass
banned me for 2 days this week for using the terms
jackass, candyass, and/or bastard.
JUST so you know.

Hell, Ming would ban you for using the term grape.......and be justified!

Happy Birthday to Summer on a cold Texas day.
