little howler monkey
I know this is totally off any officiating topic but a couple of you asked for an update and I can't resist. My first child - Ella Maria - was born Monday. After spending the week in ICU she was discharged today and Mom and Ella are safe at home.
It is as miraculous as everyone says and it doesn't hurt that she seems like she was born to fit in the crook of my arm. I won't bore you with all the details and a bunch of photos - we all know that other people's newborns look like Buddy Hackett. She is a coach's daughter, however, 1' 8 3/4" (I'm starting in with height right away instead of length) and she can already dribble to both sides. OK, just one: Last edited by bebanovich; Sat Mar 25, 2006 at 03:53am. |

Bebe -- Isn't it fabulous? I look back on my successful births, and I see confetti in the air, even though I know that there wasn't any. It's that kind of experience. Enjoy every minute, and groan your way loudly through the sleepless inghts, the long colicky afternoons, the poopy diapers. Even those memories will hold some sweetness later in life. And don't forget to take lots of pictures. Certain "esteemed members" won't want to see them on this board (although lots of us wouldn't mind), but you'll cherish them later, and enjoy having them to share with family and friends.
Congratulations to you and your wife! |

Congratulations bebanovich!! My advice: avoid bottle-feeding - that way you are unable to be the one to feed the baby in the middle of the night!!

Here's the best advice you'll ever get on raising a kid - don't listen to anyone's advice!
Go with your instincts. If it feels like the right thing to do, it probably is. Humans have been raising kids for a long time, and for the most part, we get it right. ![]()

Congratulations Coach. Beautiful child you got there.
I guess you won't have time to "work the refs" anymore. It won't be long before your little girl is trying to figure out "how to work the parents". LOL.....just kidding. Last edited by Time2Ref; Sun Mar 26, 2006 at 05:57pm. |
