Ladies and gentlemen, announcing the arrival of the newest member of our family and future rennie heart-and-arm-breaker, Fíonna Lynn Uí Ciarraide :D
Right after being born (http://ciarraide.org/pics_n_such/Fionna_birth10.jpg) (via emergency C-section, cord was short and wrapped around her neck, simultaneously strangling her during contractions and pulling her head sideways, making v-birth impossible, alas)
Mommy and baby a little bit later in our room. (http://ciarraide.org/pics_n_such/Baby1.jpg)
Me and my daughter (http://ciarraide.org/pics_n_such/Baby2.jpg), and yes, I am still wearing the surgical scrubs from OR, I was too focused on my baby girl :)
Baby Fí, just an hour old. (http://ciarraide.org/pics_n_such/Baby3.jpg)
As we were checking out of the hospital this afternoon (http://ciarraide.org/pics_n_such/Fionna_birth13.jpg)
Nom nom nom (http://ciarraide.org/pics_n_such/Fionna_birth16.jpg) (she pulled that thing on top of her and started chewing on it, bloody child is strong as hell)
This is the reason I missed Sherwood and will miss Scarby, and will likely be scarce at TRF this year. Totally bloody worth it :D
: : : ::: THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE ::: : : :
Congrats on the new blessing to you and your missus, Breandan! Well done, and I'm glad you all are in good shape. You've got a fine looking lass there!
Congratulations!!!!
Congratulations!!!
so precious! Congratulations :D
Congratulations! Glad all three of you appear to be doing well.
Your daughter looks like she's a big, healthy girl. Probably won't be long until she's assisting at the forge. ;) ;D
Take Care,
David Baldock
Congratulations! She is adorable!!!
Congrats! But if you thought the childbirth was difficult, welcome to parenthood. ;D
Beautiful! Congrats, Daddy! (You love hearing that, don't you? ;D )
Now, lets get down to business here, what are sweet Fiona's stats? We can see that she is healthy and gorgeous but how big? How is mom doing now? She had a c-section so YOU are in charge of ALL the heavy lifting for at least a month now. =D

She weighed 8lbs 5oz, lightest birthweight in my family in recent generations (we usually run the 10-11lb range), 19 1/4 inches, and could hold her head up and roughly crawl within an hour of birth. She's STRONG! I held her up to burp her after her first feeding, and she climbed her way up me to belch in my ear ("Love you, daddy!
*URP!*"), and she can belly-crawl all over the place already. She's healthy, other than a slightly elevated bilirubin count, and eats like a horse (and subsequently, poops like one >.< )
Speaking of... off to do diaper change #473 this afternoon ;D
CONGRATULATIONS! She is beautiful!Nothing like that new baby smell ;D
Congrats on your new arrival.
Congratulation...there is nothing like it on this world or the next, being a father to a daughter. Now, go forge that kid something already. Some kids get brass booties....you can do one better.
How wonderful for you two!! Congrats!

I don't think I can one-up her mother, who already has set aside a customized RRA lower/PWS Diablo upper M-4 SBR with a .22 conversion kit until she's old enough to handle the 5.56. *shrugs* somehow a boot knife just doesn't compete. :-\
Congrats!!! She is precious!
