fishnut 2,358 Posted April 3, 2016 Born in #25 and now we're in #19 but Annabelle has to be in the NICU for a few days, maconium in her lung, sucks but she will be ok. Thanks again everyone! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DDT1345 10 Posted April 3, 2016 congrats. in 15 years you get to greet her perspective suitors at the door, dressed in nothing but tighty whities, holding an open beer in one hand and a shotgun in the other. http://youtu.be/Hb9aGovCJYY My buddy and I agreed we'd do that if we ever had a daughter. I have 2 boys and he is still single. Oh well... Sorry to hear about the extra few days. Hang in there and best of luck -Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krdshrk 3,871 Posted April 3, 2016 Born in #25 and now we're in #19 but Annabelle has to be in the NICU for a few days, maconium in her lung, sucks but she will be ok. Thanks again everyone! Don't worry about the NICU - I know it sucks. Zoey had to be in the NICU for several days as well as her bilirubin level (jaundice) was high. NICU Care is generally amazing. They'll take good care of you and your lil one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin125 4,772 Posted April 3, 2016 Congrats! Sleep any time you get the chance. Feeding times come around quick. Resist jumping up every time she cries. She'll grow up a more confident kid if you figure out how to handle all of that. Awesome time! Enjoy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeteF 1,044 Posted April 4, 2016 congrats. in 15 years you get to greet her perspective suitors at the door, dressed in nothing but tighty whities, holding an open beer in one hand and a shotgun in the other. For all those that may need it, now or in the future. Daddy's Rules for Dating Rule One: If you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a package, because you're sure not picking anything up. Rule Two: You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off of my daughter's body, I will remove them. Rule Three: I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off their hips. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are complete idiots. Still, I want to be fair and open minded about this issue, so I propose this compromise: You may come to the door with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes too big, and I will not object. However, in order to ensure that your clothes do no, in fact come off during the course of your date with my daughter, I will take my electric nail gun and fasten your trousers securely in place to your waist. Rule Four: I'm sure you've been told that in today's world, sex without utilizing a "Barrier method" of some kind can kill you. Let me elaborate, when it comes to sex, I am the barrier, and I will kill you. Rule Five: It is usually understood that in order for us to get to know each other, we should talk about sports, politics, and other issues of the day. Please do not do this. The only information I require from you is an indication of when you expect to have my daughter safely back at my house, and the only word I need from you on this subject is: "early." Rule Six: I have no doubt you are a popular fellow, with many opportunities to date other girls. This is fine with me as long as it is okay with my daughter. Otherwise, once you have gone out with my little girl, you will continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you. If you make her cry, I will make you cry. Rule Seven: As you stand in my front hallway, waiting for my daughter to appear, and more than an hour goes by, do not sigh and fidget. If you want to be on time for the movie, you should not be dating. My daughter is putting on her makeup, a process than can take longer than painting the Golden Gate Bridge. Instead of just standing there, why don't you do something useful, like changing the oil in my car? Rule Eight: The following places are not appropriate for a date with my daughter: Places where there are beds, sofas, or anything softer than a wooden stool. Places where there is darkness. Places where there is dancing, holding hands, or happiness. Places where the ambient temperature is warm enough to induce my daughter to wear shorts, tank tops, midriff T-shirts, or anything other than overalls, a sweater, and a goose down parka - zipped up to her throat. Movies with a strong romantic or sexual theme are to be avoided; movies which features chain saws are okay. Hockey games are okay. Old folks homes are better. Rule Nine: Do not lie to me. I may appear to be a potbellied, balding, middle-aged, dimwitted has-been. But on issues relating to my daughter, I am the all-knowing, merciless god of your universe. If I ask you where you are going and with whom, you have one chance to tell me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I have a shotgun, a shovel, and five acres behind the house. Do not trifle with me. Rule Ten: Be afraid. Be very afraid. It takes very little for me to mistake the sound of your car in the driveway for a chopper coming in over a rice paddy near Hanoi. When my Agent Orange starts acting up, the voices in my head frequently tell me to clean the guns as I wait for you to bring my daughter home. As soon as you pull into the driveway you should exit the car with both hands in plain sight. Speak the perimeter password, announce in a clear voice that you have brought my daughter home safely and early, then return to your car - there is no need for you to come inside. The camouflaged face at the window is mine. But, before you even think of dating my daughter, you'll have to fill out the Application for Permission to Date My Daughter, below.

As for new purchase I'm not sure yet. I'm leaning towards a Henry, that way daddy can get a matching 45-70 Lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
