Lock-up your daughters.!!!

Captain Tristan Chase Battin was born today at 11:55 am. The little guy weighed in at 8lbs 4oz and is 20inches long. The young captain is sporting a full head of curly blonde hair and blue eyes. Tristan is already proving to be a ladies man (like his father)and has won the hearts of the entire Nursing staff at AC Main Land.

All kidding aside, this has proven to be one of the hardest things I have ever done. Watching my wife go though the pain of child birth for 36 hours only to have to have a C-section. Knowning you can't help her but only be there and show support. I cried for her but I couldn't help her....I cried for a half hour when this hole thing was done.. My wife is my hero........

Congrads on the new Captain and, you made me cry with what you wrote about your wife. She is truely a lucky person to have you in her life. With that said, and the fact that I even admitted that I cried, I will go wipe the tears from my eyes now.....

Don,

I'll crack a Miller Light in honor of the little guy. Strong name, too. As a matter of fact, I'll crack another Miller Light in support of your wife's pain.

Don,
Congratulations, child-birth is truly amazing to witness. I really think if men had to do it, most of us wouldn't be around. You are about to experience some of the best(but tough) days of your life. Enjoy every second.

Yo D.B., good job and congrats to both you and your wife. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
Everything takes a backburner from here on for a while. Enjoy it, it goes fast as Mile said. I shed a tear today putting my oldest son on the bus for the first time. I still can't figure out where the time went.
