    I her already.

    Aww, she's adorable!

    Congratulations, Patrick.

    Here's a bonus goofball photo taken on the 19th:




    By the way, I'm still debating whether to post the fact that a few months ago my wife (who is not an SK fan) told me she credits Stephen King with the fact that we were going to have a girl. True story.
    Aww. She is so beautiful. So cute.

    And why does she credit SK with this?

    That was my reaction as well when she made the statement, Brice.

    As you know, we have two boys already.

    I suppose this might be TMI for the delicate (no, not you, Brice), so I'll spoiler mark it while I try to explain the logic.

    Spoiler:
    A while back, I went on a short weekend trip. The night before leaving, we ...experienced... marital bliss... Anyway, the timing of that consummation was because I was about to leave for the weekend. There was no way she was getting pregnant because her monthly ovulation was supposedly too far in the future.

    After my weekend trip, I came home for a couple days during which my wife was sick and there was no joy in Mudville (to borrow a phrase from the poem, Casey At Bat). Then I left on another longer trip out of the country.

    After my return from the second trip, we found out she was pregnant, then later we found out we were having a girl.

    Interesting and relevant side note: Boy sperm swim faster, but girl sperm live longer.

    At some point in her pregnancy, my wife did the math: She was carrying a girl baby because we did it at the outside timeframe for getting knocked up before ovulation. And that timing was caused because her husband was about to leave for the weekend...

    ...to go to Las Vegas...

    ...to attend the 2008 TDT.com Gathering.


    Therefore, my wife credits Stephen King for the fact that she got the girl she always wanted.


    By the way, our baby got released from the hospital last Thursday, at eight days old. Here she is at home:

    Patrick - She's just so precious. I'm so happy she's home safe with the rest of the family... and I love the story of how she came to be.

    Thanks, sj and Pam.


    By the way, I'd take that whole chain of logic with a grain of salt, but anything that makes my wife think more favorably at all about SK (and by extension, my SK book addiction) is fine by me!

    So are you going over to his message board to start a thread titled "It's Stephen King's fault my wife got pregnant"?

    It's not his fault she got pregnant, it is to his credit that the baby is a girl.

    But I love the Jerry Springer vibe in the way you phrase it.

    Too bad all posts are prescreened over there, or I'd be tempted to take your suggestion.

    That was basically the exact vibe I was going for my friend.

    Today she is two weeks old. However I'm in the office so my selection of photos is rather limited...

    Ok, here's one for you from when she was five days old:

    Thanks. Thus far my younger son is hording the freckles and not sharing with the other two.

    I love his freckles. He has lots of them.

    She got a skull cap for when she's cruising around in Daddy's truck. I'm not sure her mom cares for it though.
