Snoocharoo

Welcome to the world you lucky little Pipsqueak! You chose yourself some awesome parents! Huge *hugs* to Pepe and Pene and congratulations to the whole Le Pew family!!

PS to IceCat: LOVE that sig pic!

Wow! So so SO happy for you both. Glad the little one is out and enjoying his little tiny life.

Congrats to you Pene, on making it though the good ol' labour process yet again. Can't wait to here how it went when you're up and around.

I love the name you have both choosen. You may actually see the name Aidan again in about a year or so when we decide on popping out another Canada Kid, as I've had the name Aidan in mind for some time now myself.

Happy thoughts for the whole family!

Woo hoo! (I love the sig pic! It is so beautiful! I'm all verklempt now.)

Congratulations Pene and Pepe! (So, Pepe does this mean your middle name is Mackenzie? *laughs*)

>(So, Pepe does this mean your
>middle name is Mackenzie? *laughs*)

You got that right! My brother is the only one from the past few generations who doesn't have Mackenzie as a middle name as he's named after my father (both first and middle) who isn't a Mackenzie.

Woohoo! Great to hear everything went okay...welcome to the world, little man!

Glad to see you finally made it to your own "coming out" party, Aidan.

Congrats, Pene and Pepe. I hope everything is going well for you and the kids.

Welcome, Aidan! We're so excited to finally meet you! My, you are a big boy, aren't you?

Best wishes for restful nights to Mom, Dad, and baby.

Criminals From the Neck Up

Welcome to the World, Pippy! Your RL name is beautiful. Say Hi to your lovely parents Pepe and Pene. Try not to keep them up all night every night. Usually 3 - 4 all nighters per week is enough to keep parents in submission and at your beck and call.

Congrats Pepe and Pene and welcome Pipsqueak. Now whatever you do Pipsqueak, just remember these two words: Habs suck!

"I resolve to constantly assert my honest opinion on anything and everything - whether it's requested or not."

>Now whatever you do Pipsqueak, just remember these
>two words: Habs suck!

Well... the Habs won last night on his day of birth. Coincidence? Stanley Cup, here we come!

WooHoo!!!! Welcome Pippy!

Big congrats guys!!!!! Wow, watch out for this kid, only a few minutes old and already a DAW.

I am sooooo happy for you guys. Wow Pene, what a long labor! You get some rest now!

Welcome to the world, such as it is Pipsqueak. I believe you have just been awarded what is probably a permanent award of "youngest poster" at less than two hours. You have been awarded a wonderful, loving family. Those big sibs will teach you to get in trouble before you know it.

And your mom and dad are just the best. I know they have been waiting anxiously to meet you. They thought you were a little shy, but I think you were just waiting until you are big enough to sleep for a couple of hours before you get hungry.

You already have one of the biggest cyber-families around. You are well loved. Just don't hurry to grow up. It happens all too soon.

who guess Aidan would be your name on January 1, 2003 at 2:33 pm

Welcome to the world, Pippy! With parents as wonderful as yours, you're bound to be a downright fabulous little stinker!

Congratulations!

Pipi,

I'm so exited about you coming out here into the world to join us. You have a couple of incredible parents, and a whole bunch of people who care for you.

I looked up your name on the internet, and it means a Fiery Son of Kenneth in Gaelic. Kenneth means handsome as loosely translated in English.

My prayer for you as you start this new adventure is that you may live your life in such a way that it be full of fiery passion. May there be intensity in your actions, the brightness of wisdom surround you, and may your flame burn long. And may you acomplish this in such a way to bring honor to your beloved family.

God bless little one,

How fitting today's zen.

Welcome to the world, Aidan! I hope you were nice to your mommy when you made your grand entrance...took ya long enough!

First of all, you have a great birthday (the 13th). Don't let anyone tell you it's unlucky!

Now...I thought you might like a playmate. I know it's a little soon to be making friends, but friends are SO important - so I thought I'd get you started.

Now also remember that you don't have to limit yourself to skunks when it comes to playmates. There are some very nice hamsters, cats, squirrels, bears, dogs, and many other creatures here who would make great pals

So pleased to meet you! Now be a good boy and get some sleep so mommy can relax a little, k?

*muttering* cheeky lil bugger, hiding from us so you could post on the computer without our knowledge...

Thanks everyone for your best wishes -- it's been a wild ride and everything couldn't be more perfect with the way things turned out. The baby Aidan is perfectly healthy and has behaved quite well to date (other than keeping us awake a couple of hours during the night as he just couldn't get enough of this pretty amazing food source ) The other two kids have really taken to having a new baby brother, especially Zach who seems to have a remarkable skill at just knowing what to do with him for a boy of 6, sitting with the baby for a whole hour very patiently and touching him in all of the right places (ok maybe that did come out sounding wrong...).

It was a 19 1/2 hour labour, but only during the last 5 hours did the main contractions come. The baby was considerate enough to allow all the relatives and Pene to be able to sleep in a little bit before the call went out to the midwives and the terp at 8:00 a.m. They came and it quickly became apparent that the labour was rapidly progressing at a faster pace than anticipated. The actual pushing only took 8 minutes (as compared to over 20 for both of the first two children). The skill and preparedness of the midwives were obvious and we couldn't have asked for more from these two.

At 10:32 a.m., Aidan Mackenzie xxxxx (last name withheld) came out into the world and immediately yowled with a good set of lungs to announce his presence. Pene went through the whole ordeal with flying colours and was extremely happy with the way things went, plus the care of the midwives as she was able to take a well-deserved shower afterwards and spend the whole day with the baby -- in stark contrast to her experiences with the other two children in hospital, where the babies were immediately taken from her and put into the nursery room for a couple of hours. Spending the day recovering from birth in your own house and own bed really makes a difference on the psyche of the new mom.

As for me... I'm doing well and it's just hard to believe that this little package actually came from a tiny cell and from a human being's belly. I'm biased but I don't think I've seen a more charming baby in my life.

Oh yes, and I saved post #4000 just for you, Aidan! You're worth it.

Congratulations!!!!

He is absolutely charming and beautiful!!!

OK, you can stop making me cry already! I just did my mascara.

Pene, I have never seen anyone look more beautiful than you. What a glowing, gorgeous woman. I don't know how you managed it--I am so impressed!

And Pippy, my goodness. *weeping again, dang it* He is utterly fantastic and perfect. Thanks to your wonderful family for sharing your experience with us!
