She's Precious. Enjoy her as much as you an. Love her name, too. And give her Mom a hug--45 hours is a REALLY rough labor!

P.S. If that's you in the first pic, Stefan, you bear a striking resemblance to the late, great John Ritter.

And Mother Earth spoke to me about her children and Lo! there were the rocks and minerals, the geodes and thundereggs, the crystals and agates. And I clasped them close to my heart. And Mother Earth smiled and welcomed me into her family. And I played with all the children in joy and peace forever as we all tumbled about.

Aww Papa Steffy, that's wonderful. Enjoy her with all your heart, they grow up and away in the blink of any eye. And remember, there's a reason they call them "grands". *smile* Hugs to Mom and Dad, hope they give her a few days rest after that one.

Wow, and congrats!! Zoey is beautiful! 45 hours, holy cow! Mom looks pretty DARN good after that and a C-section!
(And Grampa, you do look a little tired, LOL)
I'll bet you were sweating bullets, when they said C-section. I'll bet you were also shedding blood and tears, after the first 24 hours.
And, bless your heart, you posted great pix. Thanks, and best wishes to all!

Surprise: to cause to feel wonder or astonishment by being unexpected. Happens every time I crack (now cut!) a rock.
