Hello, hello, hello my sweet girl! You are as beautiful as your mum! Welcome!

Phoenix said...

She's winking... I think she's got something up her sleeve if World tries anything.

Just sayin'... maybe this adorable little girl is gonna kick some ass :)

Aerin-

Em says "and her daddy's sense of humor!"

B. Nagel said...

Tracy-

She's definitely got something up her sleeve. Ever seen The Happiest Millionaire?

Loren Eaton said...

That picture is tres awesome. Hello, baby. Thanks for joining us!

B. Nagel said...

Loren-

I happened to be holding the camera at the exact right time. I definitely did not take 40 pictures just to get this one.

Closer to 55.

Great photo ... and congratulations! I have one of these on the way in a few weeks! Any tips?!

Aerin said...

Jonas:

Sleep now.

B. Nagel said...

Jonas-

Thanks! That means something coming from you. My skillz of a photographer are pretty remedial.

Tips?
As the Beatles sang: Love, Love, Love. Also be prepared to lose all reservations about bodily fluids and processes. Practice diapering. Embrace diaper creams. Enjoy rest while you can control it.

You will ache for sleep. Unfortunately, humans cannot build a sleep reserve. Our first few nights home were pretty tame, but once the little one figures out what hunger is, you will fear her cry.

Babies are not patient or calm. This is your job.

Aerin passed this on the other day. It's a good site. Rough on the edges, but honest. I'll direct to the specific blog entry and you can explore the site from there. Pregnant Chicken.

It's the most fun, exhilarating, terrifying, worthwhile experience.

What else peoples? What major important thing did I forget? I know there's something.

jonas wunderman said...

Whatever you forgot, I hope it was along the lines of

"the "You will ache for sleep" thing was just a joke"

Loren Eaton said...

Jonas:

It. Is. Not.

Aerin said...

Jonas -

It is not....and won't be for the next five years. Minimum.

Maggie May said...

so sweet!

B. Nagel said...

Maggie May-

I couldn't agree more! Mostly because she's heading into sleep in the picture, but also b/c she's adorable.

Thanks for stopping in. The "regularly scheduled" stories/happenings/poetry/BS-ing will resume when my sleep schedule does. Until then, feel free to stalk the archives. There's some halfway-decent poems under the poetry tag http://bnagel.blogspot.com/search/label/Poetry.

Travis Erwin said...

Beautiful.

B. Nagel said...

Thanks Travis. I couldn't agree more.

Sarah Hina said...

Gorgeous. And let's face it--at this age, they're usually not so much.

B. Nagel said...

Hey thanks Sarah. We really lucked out.

I think it helped that I was chanting under my breath the whole time "No whammy, no whammy, no whammy."
