My first thought was 'She's TINY!', and then I saw that she's over 7 lbs and remembered that you're just a giant. :D

[Chihlidog]

[Psychotronic]

[Mark Wein]

Thanks guys! ;D ;D ;D

Our son was 9 lbs 9 oz. so she is tiny to us...we kept saying how small she was and the staff at the hospital kept correcting us that she was NORMAL. :)

Heh. I think Rachel was only 6 something. How's mommy doing?

[Jake S.]

For some reason I can't see the picture but congrats!

[Mark Wein]

Mommy is doing great when I left last night. I was told not to call her, she would call me this morning so she could maximize whatever rest she would be getting so I'll probably hear how the night went in an hour or so.

rest is going to be a biggie for her for the next few weeks, that's the only bad thing about a C-section longer recoup time.

[Mark Wein]

I know. And I have to move us into a new house in 3 weeks :o

[thredlok]

Thanks!

[thredlok]

you could always kidnap Jake S and use him as a rented mule ;)

[Mark Wein]

He's too scrawny ;D

[Phil513]

Do you have enough help moving?

Let me know, i might even make the trip up (if pizza and beer is involved.)

[Mark Wein]

Thanks! I'll have to see as things get closer.

And there's ALWAYS Pizza and beer involved ;D

[Phil513]

OK dude, let me know. I'd be more than happy to help.


I'll carry the guitars for you. ;D

[Mark Wein]

Thanks! ;D

Thats actually a bigger job than you think :)

[Aahzz]

CONRATULATIONS!!!!!

[Mark Wein]

Thanks!

[Prages]

So the offer was accepted on the house?

Congrats again.

[warren0728]

Congrats again.


Thanks!

Yes, they did but with a short sale you really don't know how things are really going to go. They made a big deal about a fast escrow and then didn't have the utilities turned on for the home inspector today so he couldn't do the whole inspection >:( Wasted morning for all of us today. I think this is seriously going to test my patience beyond its limits at a time where I am going to be getting no sleep...

[Mark Wein]

New picture!

[thredlok]

She's a doll Mark!

C-section babies always look so perfect when they come out!

My kid's heads were kinda squished looking;D

Truth!

She's beautiful Mark. I think i even see some of you in there. ;D

[Mark Wein]

Thanks guys!

The beautiful part is from my wife :)


My son was a "natural" birth and came out looking like an angry old Chinese man ;D

[Phil513]

lolz. looks like you are getting better with practice then.

How old is your son again? I think i read a post of yours that said he isnt too into guitars as of yet. I hope he does catch the bug eventually, or piano or something. Music is a wonderful gift, and with you as a dad, he can't hardly go wrong.

[thredlok]

Thanks guys!

Funny how that works, mine did too ;D

Here'a pic of me and my baby when her head "filled out"

[Mark Wein]

CUTE!!!

[Chihlidog]

Once again, beautiful kid Mark. Congrats to your family.

[Mark Wein]

Thanks Chili!

Its an amazing feeling but its a little strange to know that this will be the last time. We love to have children but there are only so many kids we can realistically support both financially and emotionally....they come home tomorrow and we'll be adding another little person to our household. I'm a mess tonight. I should order some wings and have a beer to get my "man card" back :)

[Chihlidog]

Um, this is probably kinda personal, but what is to say there will be no more? Choice? Something happen with you or the wife I missed?

You seem to imply choice, so I am assuming (and hoping) that nothing is wrong at all with you or the wife that would affect this.

Just let me say though that assuming it IS a choice, my wife said the same after our 2nd. I was totally cool with that. I am content with my 2. HOWEVER, even though she was SURE she was finished right after Rachel....I dont know if you remember my thread on GJ a month or so back, but now she wants another kid! :o Not like "oh, it'd be nice" but "I WANT another CHILD!"

So, sometimes even though it may not be a LOGICAL thing to do....I wouldnt rule it out or do anything that would permanently prevent it. Just my 2 cents. :)

[Mark Wein]

I did see your thread.

We made a choice based on the fact that we didn't think it would be fair to all of our kids if we had more than we could really raise. With our lifestyle and the business I think we can handle 2 kids and no more. I want to be able to put money away for college (something that wasn't done for me) for them and I don't want to be unable to provide for my kids because of budgetary reasons....its expensive to live here and sometimes business is good and sometimes its not so good....

My wife really seems "done" as well....you never know what life brings (I probably was an "oops" baby even though I was never told that) but thats the plan. :)

liquor and lust, is a potent combo for oopsie babies... ;D

[Chihlidog]

So how they doin? The wife glad to be home?

[Mark Wein]

I was just told "I've never been happier to be home" :)

My daughter is sleeping in my left arm and I am typing with my right hand ;D

[Phil513]

Thats great Mark.

Now, jsut about the time you get settled back down, its time to move. hahaha.

How is her big brother taking all this?

[Mark Wein]

Thanks!

I get to start packing this week the stuff we don't use very much...long month this will be...

Big brother is trying to adjust but you can tell he's having a little trouble with it. We're really trying to keep him involved and we are spending one on one time with him as much as we can.

[Phil513]

Lolz. Well, when i was three my sister showed up, so we all survive it.

[Mark Wein]

I'm sure he will...just another of lifes adjustments he'll have to make :)

[Mark Wein]

bump. Happy birthday Soph!

It was a fast year, let me tell you....

This was from a couple of months ago:

http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l230/markwein/kid%20video/beach8-2-09005.jpg

There is a great shot of her from yesterday at the end of this video of the dog running around in our yard:

[Prages]

Wow, hard to believe she's already a year old.

Happy birthday, Soph!

[voodoosmc]

It's incredible how a year seems to disappear when it comes to a babies first year. With us and Toby it seems as though I blinked and now he's a year old and walking. Which is very cool and somewhat sad.

Happy Birthday Sophia.

[Denverdave]

Happy birthday Sophia...

Don't forget to smash the cake all over your face....

[Mark Wein]

Soph says "Thanks!"

Shes eating breakfast at the moment before we take her brother to school. Party is tomorrow :D

[Phil513]

Happy B-Day to the Weinlet!

Man, it really is hard to believe its been a year already. Wow.

[platypus]

:aok:

[Aahzz]

A year already????????? Holy crap!


Happy Birthday littlest Wein!!

[Prages]

Huh....I had only been registered here for 8 days when she was born. :o

[Knox in Box]

Happy New Child Day!!!!!!! Edit:plus one year

She's a beaut! If I was gonna get one I'd want one just like that. But I already have an older model, it covers all bases. No need for a new one.

[Mark Wein]

Only 8k posts in a year...not too bad :o

We have both versions, so we've collected the whole set as far as I'm concerned.

[warren0728]

Here she is spending her birthday shopping for sprinkler heads with me at Home Depot this morning. Now she's at Grandmas and I'll take her brother and my brother and sister in law to Seal Beach for some lunch.

[Mrs.P]

Happy Happy Birthday Baby Sophie.

[Dexter Inferno]

Happy birthday to Sophia. :)

[Kerouac]

Put me down in the "A Year Already?!??! :freak:" column.

Tell her that Kerouac says Happy Birthday. :o

[telecaster911]

Happy Birthday and sweet dreams, Sophia:aok:

[Wilmer X]

Sorry, I´m late to the celebrations. But; congrats Mark!

[baimun]

Congrats on the birthaversary of the miniature Wein-ette!!!!!!

Pass all of our best wishes on to Mrs. Wein also. :baimun:

[Mark Wein]

Thanks everyone!

We're having a small party today with family only....last night the birthday girl had a rough one with Mrs W and I taking turns with her. I got the 1am-4:30 shift sleeping with her in the rocking chair. :)

On a side note, the work we're having done on the house is pretty far behind schedule and the fertilizer that was supposed to have been at least spread since they are a week behind on the lawn is still in a 4' high mound in the front center of our driveway. For our guests to enjoy and they walk into the house :facepalm:

[aliensporebomb]

Congrats on the new arrival! SO cool!!!!!!

[Knox in Box]

How did I miss this?

Congrats!

EDIT:

Actually just read through. :facepalm

I THOUGHT I knew you had a daughter.

[Mark Wein]

:D

I should just do a new thread but I love reading the original posts. I wish we had had the forum when my son was bron. It's almost like a time capsule of sorts.

Thanks to my brother and his wife it apparently was the best birthday a 2 year old could have, though :)

Mickey looks like he's been doing mega lines and forgot to check the mirror before coming back to the party. :eek:

[Coralkong]

Nicely done.:aok:

[Denverdave]

She is two already?? I remember when she was born. Wasn't that just a few months ago?

[Chihlidog]

Happy late b-day, Sophia!!!

Shes a cutie, Mr. Wein!

If only you'd been posting at GJ.

I should print this off before it disappears into oblivion: http://acapella.harmony-central.com/showthread.php?t=1429312

In spite of what's been said about folks leaving, it's nice to see just how many familiar faces there are in that thread. 21-year-old Flamencology was quite a different young man.

[Aahzz]

Happy Birthday Little Wein!
