Definitely Lily. If its a boy--still trying to figure that one out. Contenders atm are Aiden, Ryan, and Sam. Don't really have any boys names that we're in love with yet Lily's a cute name for sure. I love Ryan and Sam. Aiden isn't bad per se, but it seems that half of all the boys born recently have a name that rhymes with Aiden: Jayden, Kaden, Braden, etc, so I guess I'm just a bit burnt out on that one.

Baby is the size of a brussel sprout now; big enough that we can see the arms waving around! Still don't know if its a boy or a girl.

What's her name? Went with Lily. Wife knows about the size--she was the same size as a baby. Apparently ethnically Chinese babies run about half a pound lower on average at birthweight than American babies (blacks, whites, and hispanics all average varying degrees of bigger baby). So Lily's a peanut by our percentiles, but the in-laws ran the numbers by some doctors back in Taiwan and they said her size is perfectly normal on their charts. Only reason she was in the NICU was because wife was running a fever when she delivered and there was some meconium staining, so they wanted to do a few days of antiseptic monitoring to make sure the baby didn't catch an infection. She's fine. Sent her home with a clean bill of health. Gettin' use to the whole dad thing now. _______ Thanks @Dragoncat Edited February 25, 2019 by Shoblongoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure the Scale Tipper Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I’m no parent either, but I want to say congrats. I was much larger than most when I was born (forgot the number). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I was around that size when I was born, and I was two weeks late, though both my kids were in the 7 lbs range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anacybele Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) Wow, she is tiny! Slightly smaller than I was (6 lbs, 5 oz). But adorable! Little girls are the best too, because of all those super cute clothes they get! You're gonna have fun dressing her up in those little dresses and stuff. ^^ Btw, I named one of my FE OCs Lily, and so did Dragoncat! lol My Lily is a fire mage and a cute little sister to another OC character. They don't have any relation to canon ones. Dcat's is her fan kid for Rolf and Mist, if memory serves.

Shoblongoo Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) Not gonna lie. I was campaigning to get “Lilina” on the birth certificate, but my wife wasn’t going for it. I guess you could say I didn’t hector her enough (dammit—already starting with the bad dad jokes) Edited February 26, 2019 by Shoblongoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find moving around and doing things wakes me up more than caffeine does. I didn't drink it at all in college or law school. When I started working in law offices there was always a coffee machine in the conference room--it just sorta became a morning ritual. Worse ways to start the day. Last night was rough. Past few days the baby slept good between feedings, but last night was just a nonstop stream of crying and spit-ups and dirty diapers. Gonna go brew me a cup right now.
