Really Outnumbered Now
Might be a few days until I can get back to the blog. A few hours ago, my wife gave birth to our second child - a daughter. We named her Charlotte Martha. Vitals: weighed 8 lbs, 12 oz, 20 3/4 inches long.
Gonna be busy around here for awhile.
Thanks for the well-wishes, all. Everyone is doing well and so far, big sister has resisted the temptation to eliminate the competition.

Many, many congratulations. I expect a Slushop of the charming Charlotte Martha soon. With a helmet. And a seal.

Who needs sleep anyway?

Drilling produces wonderful results, huh?
Congrats to you and the wife!

Now normally I would say something highly inappropriate like, good looking kid, any idea who the father is?
But this reminds me of a female comedian I saw once, she had a bit where she goes, "I do not have any children..." and then does a guy like impression... "well none that I know of".
I always thought that was funny.
Congrats.

Congratulations, Slu. I take it mother and daughter are doing fine, and you're still nursing the celebratory hangover.
Posted by: steveegg at June 24, 2008 10:06 AM
Well played, sir. Well played.
Posted by: eddiebear at June 24, 2008 10:42 AM
Congratulations! Cute kid. And a normal name! Yay!
Posted by: Scoop11 at June 24, 2008 11:26 AM
Heh. My eldest was 8-12 too. It's good. She'll make all those other skinny babies look sick.
Congrats Slubs.

YAY! Congrats slu! I'm very happy for you guys and I know Natalie is gonna make the best big sister ever!
Not that Natalie could hear that or anything, but I'm putting it out there for her anyways.

Outstanding news, Slub! When we had our second, we were saying: "well, we learned a lot on the first one, so it shouldn't be so bad, right?"
Wrong.
Posted by: geoff at June 24, 2008 12:11 PM
Congrats to you both! You better start stocking up on ammo for when the suitors come for those lovely ladies.

Nice! I'm happy for you!
Posted by: Kevin Canuck at June 24, 2008 12:54 PM
Congrats, Slu! That is one cute looking bundle!
Don't call Natalie a baby anymore. She would promptly correct you with a "I am a big girl, not a baby!"

Very cool (and beautiful), congratulations to all.
Oh, and have a good time not sleeping for a while.
Posted by: A. Weasel at June 24, 2008 12:56 PM
Ah, she has a curl right in the middle of her forehead. Bravo, and brava to your wife!

Good job, Mom & Dad!

I was gloating over my 9lb. 6oz. heir in the window of the nursery when I noticed an Hispanic guy next to me with tears in his eyes, just glowing. I asked him which baby was his, and he pointed out the biggest G-D baby I ever saw, looked like it was one of those midget circus clowns that dresses up like a big baby.
Twelve lb. two ounce baby girl.
Congratulations on your normal-sized girl. Don't stop now, Maine needs women.

Congratulations, Slu! What a beautiful little princess.
Posted by: Amerpundit at June 24, 2008 01:02 PM
Hey Slu, Moses wanted me to ask you if Charlotte is seeing anyone right now.
(she's adorable. Congrats to the whole Slublog clan)
Posted by: Russ from Winterset at June 24, 2008 01:04 PM
Slu, my wife says Congrats too.
Posted by: Tushar at June 24, 2008 01:06 PM
After we had our second baby, big sister kept begging me to, "Put him away, Mommy."
Congratulations on a beautiful baby.
Posted by: KelliD at June 24, 2008 01:07 PM
Nice work, Slu. Congrats!

PS - you shouldn't be blogging, you should be getting some practice at putting toilet seats down.......like you're going to be doing for the indefinite future.....

Well made!

What exactly causes this?
Grats!
Posted by: JohnW at June 24, 2008 02:52 PM
Congrats, Slu.
As someone who just went through this on Valentine's Day, might I suggest sleeping every chance you get?
Posted by: Bob Owens at June 24, 2008 02:56 PM
Salutations and congratulations are in order here, Slub! Hope all is well.
Posted by: skh.pcola at June 24, 2008 03:18 PM

Congrats. She's heart-breakingly beautiful.

She's gorgeous. Who needs sleep, anyway?
Posted by: tasteslikechicken at June 24, 2008 05:19 PM
Way to go, Slu.
Before you know it, she'll be cussing like a Disney princess.
Or at least that's what happened at my house.
Posted by: Preston Taylor Holmes at June 24, 2008 06:02 PM
Oh, she's so big and beautiful! God bless her!
Posted by: The Anchoress at June 24, 2008 06:20 PM
A-dorable. And I love both the girls' names. Congrats!

Two daughters...you will never get a decent nights sleep again in your lifetime. That's just how doting Dads are...mine was. Have fun and enjoy!
Posted by: MrsPaulsFishSticks at June 24, 2008 08:53 PM
Congrats, Slu.
In 13 years or so remember to keep a shotgun, shovel and bag of lime on display for when suitors come calling.

Slu...what a cutie! Congratulations, amigo. Best wishes from The Fish Bowl to all of you at The SluShop.
