Elaina Margaret Evans was born at exactly 7:30am today (November 4), weighing in at exactly 7 pounds and measuring exactly 20 inches. I appreciate her making all my math easy. ;)
Mother, baby, and yes, father are all doing fine, albeit exhausted. Labor lasted from Sunday evening until, as I said, 7:30 this morning. Ew. Got a grand total of one hour of sleep last night, and am reluctantly (though probably wisely) now home to catch some Zs before heading back to the hospital to be with my girls there for the next day or so.
Obviously, best to count me out from any kind of regular activity for the next several days. I'll pop in when and if I can, but DCs and all are likely on hold for a little while.
I'll provide pictures when we're back home in the next 24-48 hours and get settled down (at least somewhat). She's cute as a button...can't wait to show her off. ;D
-
Wow, you're already screwing up her birthday by not remembering the actual date? That can't be good! LOL
Congratulations, Dáin! I wish your family the best!
-
DOH! #-o I blame the lack of sleep.
Speaking of which, off to bed. :-Z
-
Congrats Dain! =D>
-
Congrats good sir. I wish you all the joys of fatherhood (especially the changing of the diapers).
-
Wow Congratulations Dain!
-
congratulations! put pictures up when you can.
-
I wholeheartedly congratulate you on your new daughter may you have many days filled with peace and happiness!
Sincerely yours
Centurion
-
Awesome Dain! And what a pretty name! I hope you all will be able to get some well-needed rest. :)
-
Enjoy your girls the most! :up:
-
CONGRATULATIONS! ;D
This is seriously awesome. I can't wait for pictures and whatnot.
Don't you spare much thought to us guys over here. We'll still be here when you're settled down.
Now go get some sleep, you silly Dwarf!
-
hey, his daughter is the future of this site, it's the next generation.
-
Congrats Dain!
-
Congrats, my good dwarf!
And, might I add, "Elaina" is a wonderfully pretty name.
Here's to your nice, long, post-birth nap! :up:
-
Are you awake yet? :lol:
Just kidding, what I really mean is -:¦:-•:*'""*:•.-:¦:-•*Congratulations!*•-:¦:-•:*'''''*:•-:¦:-
It's good to hear that everything came out okay (no pun intended, well, maybe it was intended a little ;) ), and that everyone is healthy. Bring on those pictures!
And I agree, Elaina is a beautiful name.
-
(no pun intended, well, maybe it was intended a little ;) )
Forgive me, but I have to share one of my favorite parting lines:
"Let's make like a baby and head out!"
-
Congratulations and Welcome to fatherhood.
May you soon learn the the beauty of the power-nap.
-
Congrats man! Spoil her rotten and bring her up in the ways of LotR TCG.
-
lol at all the replies.
Good to know everythings ok you lucky little dwarf ;) enjoy them, your DC threads can wait.
and GIVE US PICTURES!
-
Congratulations to you and Mrs. Evans! =D>
-
Hey, look who's back!!!
Again, Dain... congratulations for you and your wife... and for little Elaina. :up:
-
Just one picture for now. I don't have the camera on me at the moment (it's in the room where Jen and Elaina are sleeping), so I'll have to share one that was taken by someone else and e-mailed to me. We have TONS more good ones which I'll post later, I promise!

One of very few times you'll catch her with her eyes closed. She's ridiculously alert when she's awake, and can even turn and lift her head to watch you or anything else that has her attention. It's amazing because she's SO young...she shouldn't be able to do that, but she's so strong! She's got her days and nights mixed up, so needless to say, Jen and I are exhausted. But we're making it, day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute. We'll get sleep again. Someday. :P
I'm off work all this week, and ironically, it might not be until I get back there that I'll be active semi-regularly again. :roll: I'll try and get some DCs and such up this week too, more for my sake and my sanity than anything else. :lol:
Thanks for all the well-wishing, and again, I promise I'll get some better pictures up soon. :up:
-
Dain, congrats on this beautiful event! Hope you and yours are still doing well and many years of hapiness to all of you!
-
yes, the strength of the dwarves runs deep in her veins...
that's great! and don't worry about us here, man, get back to normal life before you worry about DC's!!!
cheers

:lol:
Such a cute kid, Dain. Can't wait for more pictures.
Yeah, I remember talking in psych class about how babies' internal clocks are extremely messed up at birth. Pity I forget how long it generally takes to correct itself... I'd hazard a guess at a few weeks.
Stay strong, Dain! :P
-
lol hopefully your well adjusted for long nights as a dwarf ;)
cute pics!
-
She's beautiful! If I remember correctly though, when my youngest sister was born, she kept Mom up every night for about two months. Get ready for some sleepless nights, Dain. :lol:
-
Awwww she's so cute. Man, now I want a baby. I need a wife first though but how hard can that be.
-
Finally, more pictures! ;D Sorry to keep ya'll waiting.

AWwwwwww....

*what is it about babies that turns rational people into fawning googly eyed idiots?*
-
oooo, i think she's starting to look like gimli! that's good news!!!
naw, besides drooling and drinking all the time she isn't anything like Gimli. ;)
i bet you can't wait till she can play LOTR cards!!!
-mm
-
Wow, she's a little cutie!
I like the "I <3 NY" pajamas, too. :up:
-
She is utterly adorable, soooooo cute!!!
-
Wow, she is really cute. I love the 'Too Cute' picture.
-
We think she's cute too, but of course, we're a little biased. :roll:

That was the first outfit ever purchased for her, actually. My sister (who was IN New York at the time) got it the weekend we announced Elaina was on the way. It's one of my favorites...partly because most everything else is pink or purple or has flowers on it. :P
-
Awesome kid. :)
-
Cuter than cute.
-
As always, the last one to post. Congrats uncle, oops I mean, father Dain.
That is one of the cutest babes ever, and I'm not just saying that to be nice, i mean it!
-
I have to remember now that you said that I was once a baby, and had just that one chance to make everyone who saw me into a fawnind googly eyed idiot.
Awesome Dain! Now I know what you look like as well as your wife and the baby of course ;)

Yea, I didn't really want to know what Dain looked like, because it ruins the fun of having an avatar.

Just realized I never posted about this once it started up:

Now people can stop bugging me to post more pictures. :lol: Just keep up with that and you should get your fill. She's getting BIG already!
-

cute cute cute.

She really is adorable!
