Awesome! That's wonderful news. I like the picture of you holding the baby while on the phone. Calling Snyder I'm sure "$35 million signing bonus or we walk!"

So...is he loading up on Smack Energy Bars? :)

Re: Brand New Skins Fan !!!
 

Thanks Smoot. I guess I'm not the only on awake at 2 in the morning.

Smack Energy Bars ? HA !!!! I'm going to pick up food grinder so I can convert the energy bars into the perfect baby food !

Re: Brand New Skins Fan !!!
 

Congrats! Is he your first?

If so, welcome to the wide world of parenting - It's like nothing you have ever done before. But in a good way. :)

Re: Brand New Skins Fan !!!
 

Congrats, that is a good lookin boy you got there.

Re: Brand New Skins Fan !!!
 

Congrats! Brings back memories of my first born, which was 16 yrs ago. Enjoy this time as it passes quickly.

Just look forward to the memories you'll create. Teaching your boy to
be a Skins fan, taking him to first game, watching his first victory,
and his first autographed cheerleaders calendar. LOL

Oh...don't worry you can't break him. I had two and they survived
a rookie dad. :)

Re: Brand New Skins Fan !!!
 

Congrats. Beautiful baby!

Re: Brand New Skins Fan !!!
 

Congrats on the new arrival!

Re: Brand New Skins Fan !!!
 

Yea congrats. Had my first two years ago this July. You were all witnesses. Its frustrating and tough and worth every second of it.

Re: Brand New Skins Fan !!!
 

Congrats!

Congrats, I have a 15 month old and it really changes your life. I do have one recommendation. Get the book Baby Wise and have your wife read it today. My wife read the book and used what she learned and what they suggest really does work. My child has been sleeping through the night sense 3 months old the key was gettin her in a routine which they explain how to do. Everyone I know which has used this book will tell you that it really works. We have two friends which used this with their secone child and they both say it made a world of difference. It makes life on the parents much easier. Here is a link to the book I'm talking about and you can probably get it at your local book store.

Re: Brand New Skins Fan !!!
 

Thanks guys. I could see how happy guys were here when announcing their new arrival and I couldn't wait to do the same. He is our first child too JoeRedskin. It really is wild because everything does shift a bit.

I'm about to order that book now firstdown because he sleeps during the day more so than at night.

Once again I sincerely appreciate all the words as well as the advice that you all gave.

Last but not least,... HAIL TO THE REDSKINS !!!

Re: Brand New Skins Fan !!!
 

I'm sure myself and others here, could tell you stories about raising kids. Do yourself a favor and write down some of the moments and memories. That would be something
you and your son will have some great laughs over in years to come.

Redskins Nation is growing; my sister just had my first niece on Tuesday. You better believe I'm getting her a Redskins cheerleader outfit. I'd get her one now but I don't think they make them for 2.5lb babies (she was 2 months early but she's doing really well).

Re: Brand New Skins Fan !!!
 

Fantastic And Congrats!

Hey she wouldn't happen to have been born at Holy Cross would she ?

That's weird, because I was going to ask you the same thing about your son!!! Yeah, she's at HC, and I may have talked to you for a quick second in the hall on Tuesday when you were taking your son for a walk.

Holy Shit,... ooops I have to work on my cursing. Yep, that was me dead tired walking him around cause he started crying on the way back. You guys kept that room packed too! I remember there were a couple of guys out there. Were you the tall guy with the blue shirt, or the guy with a Red Sox hat on ? I think it was a Red Sox hat. I caught the weight because one of the ladies told me that the girl they were going to see was 2.5 lbs. How is she doing ?

That's so crazy! My mom and sister were gushing over your son, and we were saying how you and my brother-in-law both had the biggest smiles we've ever seen. It's seriously a small world.
I was wearing a red Caps shirt (which has been bad luck) and a Nationals hat. We were all out in the hall because the nurse had to check some stuff and my sister needed privacy. ANd you're right, we did keep that room a little too crowded; we have a huge family and everyone wanted to see the baby.

She's doing really well. She's still tiny and she's going to be at HC for awhile, but she already seems feisty.

Congrats again on your son. Hopefully his first words will be Hail To The Redskins!

Re: Brand New Skins Fan !!!
 

AMD - glad to hear your niece is doing well. We spent a short time in the NICU with our first kid, and they are some of the most dedicated and caring people in the world. I'm sure she is in good hands.

Then that must have been your brother in law that I spoke to in the hallway. Okay I think that I remember you now. It must have been the Nationals hat that you had on. Tell them I said thank you, he stays up all night long. I don't think it was too crowded, family comes out for babies. I'm still smiling now, and I'm sure your brother -in-law is too. Well my family will keep her in our prayers, keep us posted !

monk, congrats. and if you don't already know this, your life has changed forever:)

Re: Brand New Skins Fan !!!
 

That it has dmek! I should've taken advantage of all those hours that I had to sleep that I decided to use staying up to watch t.v. Or to play another game of Madden. Ahhh, that wonderful time in which we allow our bodies time to recoup all of the energy that we've used during the day, how I miss thee.

I know the feeling. Back in this thread I mentioned a book baby wise and gave you a link. I was not joking and you need to pick this up soon and have your wife read it. It works and in a couple of months you will have the baby sleeping throughout the night. It will make you and your wifes life much easier over the next year or so. I'm not a book person but this one works.

Good call. That will be the best 10 bucks or so you spent. I hope it works as good for you two as it has for us and several other of our friends. I guess when I say us I mean my wife because I did not read the book she did and followed what it said.
