My wife and I have a new, healthy baby girl! That makes 2 total; both girls.
Her name is Anna Lucile.
She was born yesterday (11/21/07) at 2:04 PM PST.
She was 7# 15oz and 20" long
and she's beautiful!
Both mommy and baby are doing just fine. We're going home tomorrow afternoon to have turkey with the rest of our families.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING everyone!

Congratulations! Is she your first?
Say goodbye to sleep.
Sketcha 11-22-07, 07:15 PM Congratulations! Is she your first?
Say goodbye to sleep.
Thank you.
She's our second. We have a 5 1/2 year old daughter as well (OP updated.)
Yeah, I'm familiar with the sleep thing... and it's already begun.
Congrats! I have 3.
7, 5, and 19 months.
So much fun when they are young, but once they hit 5, watch out.
Congrats none the less! Tis a beautiful thing!:)
Megalith 11-22-07, 07:17 PM Congratulations...but it's really weird to go out of your way to post stuff like this on the internet and on an electronics forum.
Johnsteph10 11-22-07, 07:47 PM Congratulations! Now, SHE is something to be thankful for!
Puts a little perspective in our lives....
Paul Cordingley 11-22-07, 08:08 PM Well done!
We had our first child one month ago (a beautiful and healthy boy). What a time! :D :D
Congratulations, Sketcha.
A new child is definitely something to be thankful for. :)

george king 11-22-07, 08:28 PM congratulations. That is truly wonderful news. May you and your family be blessed with continuing health and happiness.
hdkhang 11-22-07, 08:29 PM AVS wishes its best to our youngest member :)
Bring her up right and she'll make some audio nut happy... the bliss that comes with not having to deal with WAF.

Did you film the birth in HD?:p
Congrats man!
Congrats, and after a number of years, with hope, you will be blessed with grandkids who give their parents back the same pains you are about to endure, and you will wonder how your children turned into such great parents. :)
P.S. You've had a wonderful Thanksgiving
2Channel 11-22-07, 08:52 PM Congratulations to you and your family. What wonderdful news on Thanksgiving. You really have some special to be thankful for this year.

GmanAVS 11-22-07, 09:33 PM Congratulations !!!!
2 pre-teen girls here, now you are also outnumbered 3:1 like me ;)
So what is a dad's weapon of choice when dating starts: 12 gauge or rifle? :p

I believe 12 gauge is the traditional choice. Rock salt shells are suggested if you're at close range. :D
drj2000 11-22-07, 11:04 PM Congradulatons! I have three daughters 13, 18 and 20 and one son 15. Just remember to leave the toliet seat down:D
MidnightWatcher 11-22-07, 11:12 PM Congrats Sketcha! My second son was born a month ago. :)

Bad Boys 2 scene comes to mind.:D
A great instructional scene for men with daughters.
I plan on mimicking it as best I can when my girls are teens:eek::eek::eek:
diceboy74 11-23-07, 02:28 AM Congratulations!!! My wife and I are expecting our first. Due July 1st and I cannot wait. Although my HDM hobby will come to a screeching halt as my wife is going to only work part time. Ahhh, how the priorities change. But I will return soon enough.
CONGRATS! :)
FIngers crosssed here, even my toes - we are already "working hard" to get our first one... ;)
Grubert 11-23-07, 03:44 AM Congratulations Sketcha! And especially to the mother. They deserve most of the credit. :)
Apart from the sleep issue, I predict you'll be using the Night mode on your amp a lot from now on. So long lossless! :D
Now seriously, all the best!
Congratulations.
Me and Me Julie had a little baby girl 4 weeks ago.
Great, isn't it. :)
Steve W
That just made my day. :D
Even better than the Black Friday sale, 22 inch widescreen computer monitor, I just fought the hordes at Target to buy.;)
Congrats my friend.:):):)

Do you have kids? When you do you tend to want to shout it to the world as it's such an exciting time.

No doubt. Congratulations :). Next year both of mine are going to be in college :eek:, so enjoy them while they're home!
Baronken 11-23-07, 09:49 AM Yea! A thread worth reading!
Congratulations!
We're expecting our 2nd in June, so I feel your pain (and joy :)).
s2mikey 11-23-07, 10:04 AM I hope that you are able to find the father before Christmas.....
:eek:
jest joshin ya..... CONGRATS! :D
Congrats- Very exciting. My guess is that you'll only need to take out one of the boys when your girls start dating - word or mouth re: the crazy dad will keep the rest away;-)
We've got four: g8-b5-g3-b1mth. People look at me like I've got 2 heads when I tell them we have 4- pretty funny (more funny is I would have done the same thing before I had kids). They are too fun to have around- love seeing how each one is different.
Your real challenge is going to be making time for the AVS forums.
quikric 11-23-07, 10:37 AM Congratts,and best wishes!:D
Larry Sutliff 11-23-07, 02:22 PM Congratulations, Sketcha!
jameskollar 11-23-07, 03:27 PM To really add joy to her and our lives, you need to set up an account for her on AVS Forum. I've seen a lot of posts from babies here. ;) :D
Congratulations Sketcha!
MattGuyOR 11-23-07, 03:45 PM Congrats! Oregon girls are the best! :)
jocktheglide 11-23-07, 05:47 PM Was She In Hd Dvd Or Blu Ray?
Sketcha 11-23-07, 06:08 PM Thank you everyone for your kind words, even Megalith. ;) And FYI, I'm actually kinda' with you on that. I have never, nor will ever post pictures of my children on the net. Also, there is almost no one here that knows my first or last name, nor that of my girls. I am also extremely capable and completely at ease with doing whatever is necessary to protect them. ;)x2
Her birth was filmed in 30fps 480i a-la my wife's Canon A630. I did vote for the Panasonic SD-1 on the Amazon sale, but didn't win. I think it would've come a little late anyway. :)
Thanks again, everyone!

westgate 11-23-07, 06:16 PM congratulations!
the announcement is a welcome and nice change/addition to the usual 'ht' stuff.
Congratulations+++++!!!!!!!
I knew you were hoping for a child.:)
Staying Salty 11-23-07, 10:06 PM Congratulations new Dad and new Mom.:):)
Is she wearing RED or Blue ??
thebland 11-24-07, 08:41 AM Fantastic! Congrats on a healthy child and wife... It's what life is all about.
I have 3 daughters (ages 2 through 12)and can't imagine my life without them..
allargon 11-24-07, 09:16 AM Congratulations!
Sketcha 11-24-07, 12:13 PM Is she wearing RED or Blue ??
Green. ;)
We didn't find out her gender until the big day. Now all the aunties are going to be shopping for pink, so... I guess you could say red. :)
Oh, BTW, we had Ratatouille on for my niece at pretty high volume, (no added compression) while baby was sleeping in the same room. Slept right through it.
Oh yeah, I'm bringing my girls up RIGHT! If I ever hear about WAF issues from their future husbands, at least when it comes to A/V, they're outa' the will!
What those boys will have instead is FILAF (father-in-law approval factor.) I couldn't have my daughters and sons-in-law running Bose now, could I.
thebland 11-24-07, 02:48 PM I've got something to show you re: HT & kids...I'll post it later.. A must have kids & HT!
Congratulations!!! My wife and I are having our fourth in seven more months.

DamageMcRamage 11-25-07, 08:58 AM Congratulations Sketcha! Teach her well, especially in the area of Home Theater. We need more women interested in this sort of thing. I'd hate to see another girl become interested in shoes:D

congratulations! I have a little 9 month old girl, our first. The best thing that ever happened in my life :)
Just got my ban lifted and this is my first post...

Thanks Plaz, I'm honored!
I remember some PMs with you about your girl. It was right after the whole Nielsen thing hit the boards. I believe having a girl is a very good and healthy thing for a man.

Of my four children, my oldest and only daughter is 9. I just got back from The American Girl Store picking up one of her big gifts. :eek:
Congrats to you, Sketch!!
Father of 5 here...:eek:
yeah yeah...don't worry, they all blur together after the 3rd..:D
