Welcome to the world, Matilda Azalea! I had to say it again now that we know her full name. I am all teary eyed from Hec's post. Congratulations Hec and JZ!!! Wishing JZ a quick recovery from the long delivery.

"You know I think maybe I like the idea of a little sister."

Yay, Emmett! He is going to be such a good big brother.

vw, I hope Toto is feeling better soon.

Happy Birthday, Nicole!!!

Matilda Azalea is a lovely name, and it sounds like it's attached to a lovely baby.

Do we know yet if she loves carrots? t /tongue-in-cheek

She better, because we want to hear all about it. Oh, sweet baby girl. Huge hugs to you (and gentle ones to JZ), Hec.

It's Nicole's birthday? Happy Birthday, girl!

brenda, how'd the job interview go?

David, thank you for sharing so much of Matilda's arrival. Like everyone else, I loved reading about Emmett's reaction. Matilda has already shown that she is impossible to resist with her cuteness!

Poor JZ - I feel bad that she labored and pushed for so long only to end up with a C-section in the end. Of course, no matter what, the most important thing is that Matilda is here safely, even if a little squished. I hope she has enough visitors to keep her company but not enough to wear her out. I hated the hospital - it was so boring and I just wanted to be home. The highlight was when amyth and smonster came by so I could show off my baby.

My day may have just gotten even crazier. Vet probably wants to see Toto, since this could be a reaction to his shots.

Poor guy. He's just miserable. I can hear his tummy gurgling.

I'm full of all the gronk in the world.

But you know what would help me wake up?

I'm totally with you on that! I'm tempted to send my digital camera to the new parents so we can get regular updates. I mean, really, how many pictures of Toto do we need?

Yes! SFistas, the moment David gives the word, I want you over there, cameras at the ready.
