Leslie Laura was born this fine Saturday afternoon at 4:30pm, to the absolute delight of her big sister, Erin (who said that a baby brother would have been okay too... I guess... sorta...).
Everyone doing fine except for Dad, who has no voice after spending hours on the cellphone today.

Let me be the first to offer my congratulations. Since it is appearing more and more likely I will never enjoy the experience, I can only imagine the overwhelming joy, and petrifying fear, you must be feeling. My best wishes that all 3 of your ladies bring you all the joy one person can handle.

Congratulations Nico, may her screaming and shouting won't wake you up TOO much during the night :).

I can imagine it's a mix of awe and sheer terror of what's to come coupled with some curiosity and slightly seasoned with a feeling of accomplishment.
But what do I know? :)
Congratulations, Nico! May she break many hearts in the years to come.

Poor girl... I can just imagine the rebuke from her father the first time she doesn't use proper grammar (or doesn't take the time to proofread her thoughts :P ).
Congrats. I look forward to enjoying the same joys (many, many, many years from now, of course).

Congrats! I must say that having two children under 4 is at least three times as much...
... Fun! Yeah, that's it. I can only imagine what three under 5 would be like.
But, they really are so much fun. This morning they woke me up to play their game of run around the house acting all crazy. I don't get it, but they do and I play along.
