Yay! What a happy day.
Look how beautiful Mrs. D is, even just after giving birth.
Congratulations, JD (I love the name Madeline)
Comment by Dan Collins on 4/9 @ 2:11 pm #
Comment by Karl on 4/9 @ 2:13 pm #
Congrats. She took her time, didn’t she? You just know that years from now, boys will be left waiting while she gets ready for dates.
Comment by Dan Collins on 4/9 @ 2:17 pm #
In the living room. With JD. Glaring.
Comment by mgroves on 4/9 @ 2:18 pm #
Born today or yesterday? I ask because my son was born yesterday. Congrats JD.
Comment by Dan Collins on 4/9 @ 2:19 pm #
Today. Congrats to you, too! Have you got a pictures link or one that I can post?

Congrats on the new punishment JD. Can’t golf with a new baby in the house. Excellent handicap-padding strategy. Health and happiness.
Comment by BJTexs TW/BP on 4/9 @ 2:22 pm #
Wow, we have a contagious spread of babys! Congrats, JD, she has those pinchable cheeks that grandparents love to abuse.
Congrats also to you Mr. Groves. Now has anybody heard from Enoch Root or, as I was unavailable yesterday, did I already miss the news?
Comment by Mikey NTH on 4/9 @ 2:24 pm #
Awww! Ain’t that just the cutest.
Comment by alppuccino on 4/9 @ 2:24 pm #
Did not in any way wish to sleight you on your blessed event Mr. Groves.

Dan, Karl – you mean the boys will be able to get past the claymores?
Comment by Dan Collins on 4/9 @ 2:25 pm #
I haven’t heard from Enoch yet. Waiting.
Comment by mojo on 4/9 @ 2:25 pm #
What a cutie…
Yeah, yeah – the kid too…
Comment by darwins on 4/9 @ 2:25 pm #
yay!
Comment by Dan Collins on 4/9 @ 2:27 pm #
I don’t think JD would do that to his lawn, Mikey. Besides, who needs claymores when you’ve got the Vietnamese Mafia?
Comment by daleyrocks on 4/9 @ 2:30 pm #
Congratulations JD!!! Hope everyone is well.
It also looks like you married very well. Too bad I can’t say the same for your wife.
I keed.
Comment by Bender Bending Rodriguez on 4/9 @ 2:30 pm #
I feel like my 3-week-old boy is positively ancient now.
Comment by JD on 4/9 @ 2:33 pm #
You all really are wonderful.
Comment by SarahW on 4/9 @ 2:34 pm #
Congratulations, JD. What a beautiful family you have. Welcome to little Madeline! She is adorable. I hope Mommy is feeling as terrific as she looks. You must be over the moon!
Comment by MayBee on 4/9 @ 2:37 pm #
I feel like my 3-week-old boy is positively ancient now.
What?? Oh BBR and Mr. Groves– congratulations!
How happy all of this news is.
JD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hug your wife for me, and kiss that baby on her little soft cheek.
Comment by Ouroboros on 4/9 @ 2:41 pm #
Simply adorable.. Congratulations!
Comment by sashal on 4/9 @ 2:48 pm #
JD, congratulations and the same to everybody else responsible for recent increase in population
Comment by B Moe on 4/9 @ 2:51 pm #
Congrats to all, and hug those chirren one time for Uncle B Moe.
Comment by kelly on 4/9 @ 2:59 pm #
Hearty congrats, JD. All that acid you dropped in your reckless days doesn’t seem to have created any genetic problems. Oh wait, that was me. Sorry.
Beautiful child and wife, BTW.
Comment by BJTexs TW/BP on 4/9 @ 3:05 pm #
Heh! If all of this leads to the PW knitting circle we may drive Jeff away for good!
Comment by Enoch_Root on 4/9 @ 3:06 pm #

More yay! Declan is teh coolest name I think.
Comment by JD on 4/9 @ 3:09 pm #
Enoch – They were born less than 3 minutes apart. Happy Birthday!
If it had been a boy, we would have named him John Declan.
Comment by Karl on 4/9 @ 3:09 pm #
BJ,
Knitted wrestling gear. Totally Jew-Jitsu.
Comment by RC on 4/9 @ 3:10 pm #
Wow! Congrats!
Comment by Enoch_Root on 4/9 @ 3:10 pm #
WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!
Who’s older? (Mama Declan would like to know)
Comment by Karl on 4/9 @ 3:11 pm #
Congrats, Enoch, BBR, mgroves also.
Comment by JD on 4/9 @ 3:12 pm #
kelly – Any good genes passed along to Madeline are from Thuy. Their ability to overcome my genes will be a testament to their character.
Comment by Enoch_Root on 4/9 @ 3:12 pm #
It’s a PW baby fest, really.
Comment by darwins on 4/9 @ 3:13 pm #
It’s also Joseph Pulitzer’s birthday except he died. They named a prize after him.
Comment by JD on 4/9 @ 3:14 pm #
Enoch – Declan by 2 minutes. Once Maddie decided to grace us, Thuy only had to push for 7 minutes.
Comment by Pablo on 4/9 @ 3:15 pm #
Nicely done, JD and Mrs. JD. Congrats all around.
Comment by Enoch_Root on 4/9 @ 3:17 pm #
Jen pushed for… get this… 7mins.
Comment by Pablo on 4/9 @ 3:17 pm #
Congrats to the Enoch clan as well. That said, it’s 2008, dude. Kick the photos.
Comment by MayBee on 4/9 @ 3:18 pm #
Enoch_Root!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pictures!!
All these babies! My milk is letting down.
Comment by JD on 4/9 @ 3:25 pm #
Enoch – that is freaking spooky! Give our best to Jen, and the rest of the clan. BTW – Keep Declan about a mile away from Madeline until 2038.
Comment by BJTexs TW/BP on 4/9 @ 3:27 pm #
Karl: maybe there’s a submission knit?
knit one, elbow lock, perl two…
Comment by BJTexs TW/BP on 4/9 @ 3:28 pm #
JD: Only a mile? You’re getting soft.
Comment by JD on 4/9 @ 3:28 pm #
I am off too get Kaitlin, so I can take her to meet her little sister for the first time. I have been a misty-eyed sap all afternoon.

HURRAY HURRAY! Congratulations, Enoch!

Comment by JD on 4/9 @ 3:30 pm #
BJ – The M700 APR is accurate to right around that distance, at least with me on the trigger ;-)
Comment by darwins on 4/9 @ 3:31 pm #
Also your wife is a lot a beautiful lady. I kinda figured, but there it is.
Comment by Enoch_Root on 4/9 @ 3:38 pm #
JD – congrats to you, your wife and the other monsterling (as Dan would call her).
so by my count that makes how many PW babies over the last month? 4, 5 ???? JD, mgroves…
also, Maybee – that reminds me of my favorite topic! BOOOOOBS – glorious BOOOBS
Comment by Enoch_Root on 4/9 @ 3:43 pm #
thx Sarah and everyone. we are well-pleased. our oldest (12yrs) got to watch and quickly decided she would prefer to adopt… our plan is insidious…
Comment by kelly on 4/9 @ 3:49 pm #
Congrats to all you PWers for your fecundity!
I don’t have any children because of state-forced sterilization in George Bush’s Amerikkka!
Comment by alppuccino on 4/9 @ 4:05 pm #
All these babies! My milk is letting down.
Milk goes surprisingly well with bacon.
Comment by Mikey NTH on 4/9 @ 4:07 pm #
Congrats, Enoch and BBR.
I finally got a picture of niece Allison.
She’s cute.
Comment by Carin on 4/9 @ 4:30 pm #
Congrats! Beautiful baby, JD. Congrats Enoch. Congrats everyone.
SOB. I wannanother baby ….
Instead, I’m stuck with you guys.
Comment by Bender Bending Rodriguez on 4/9 @ 4:35 pm #
Jen pushed for… get this… 7mins.
Oh, yeah, well my wife pushed for 5 minutes — totally drug-free. Not even a freaking Advil. It’s like she’s some kind of superhero. Your move, Enoch.
Henry Ross — 7lbs. 15oz., 20″ — Doc who gave him the circumcision gave him a nice compliment — said she had to use the large clamp.
Comment by MC on 4/9 @ 4:42 pm #
Awww!!
Comment by Enoch_Root on 4/9 @ 4:43 pm #
Carin – SOB. I wannanother baby ….
Instead, I’m stuck with you guys.
I was about to say “it could be worse…” but then I realized… ah, forget it.
BBR – Oh, yeah, well my wife pushed for 5 minutes  totally drug-free. Not even a freaking Advil. It’s like she’s some kind of superhero. Your move, Enoch.
Not only did Jen accomplish 2 of her 5 (five) delivers without so much as a drop of Children’s Tylenol, but she didn’t make a peep… while concurrently skinning a cougar with a dull spoon!
As for the penis thing… did I happen to mention I am Irish?
anyway, Congrats on Henry Ross… love the name.
Comment by Mikey NTH on 4/9 @ 4:48 pm #
Carin – you don’t have to clean up after this crew. Be relieved. Real, real relieved.
Comment by Karl on 4/9 @ 4:49 pm #
More babies than one could ever hope to handle.
Comment by Mikey NTH on 4/9 @ 4:50 pm #
BBR – just make sure you give him the right instructions. Such as how you do not want any surprises coming into the family room when you are trying to relax – IYKWIMAITYD.
Comment by SarahW on 4/9 @ 4:58 pm #
Cheezit. Umm, I cut my kid out with a spork in thirty seconds flat. Applied a Sparkler and flat tire sealant, then did pilates.
Or not.
Comment by Spies, Brigands, and Pirates on 4/9 @ 5:00 pm #
Congrats to all!
Nothing makes me happier than hearing about smart people having babies.
Comment by Mikey NTH on 4/9 @ 5:15 pm #
More little Americans to fill Fisher-Price’s coffers. Dads – buy slippers. They will allow you to negotiate Lego-mined floors with dignity.
Comment by JD on 4/9 @ 5:52 pm #
I just read all of these to Better Half. She says thank you so much, y’all almost made her cry. I think she understand why I enjoy you so much. She also says that anyone that gives birth without an epidural has mental problems.
Comment by Synova on 4/9 @ 5:58 pm #
Oh, how sweet! She looks like a baby, all squished and stuff.
Comment by Rusty on 4/9 @ 6:01 pm #
Congradulations the both/all of you. Babies are about the coolest things on earth. You are truly blessed.
Comment by Big D on 4/9 @ 6:03 pm #
I’m kinda new here, but allow me to offer my heartfelt congratulations! I have watched my wife give birth five times and it was always an awe inspiring event. You are truly blessed.
May God hold your little ones in the palm of his hand.
Comment by Dan Collins on 4/9 @ 6:07 pm #
Big D, Enoch’s got you tied.
Comment by MayBee on 4/9 @ 6:16 pm #
Oh yeah? I gave birth while modeling in a Victoria’s Secret Runway show. I simply paused midstride, gently pushed once, sliced the umbilical cord with my 4″ stilletto, and continued on. I didn’t so much as drop a feather from my wings.
Comment by Cowboy on 4/9 @ 6:22 pm #
JD, Enoch, BBR, mgroves:
What a wonderful blessing!! I am so happy for you all..extra rosaries at Mass tomorrow for all!
PW–it is the virtual Fertile Crescent!
Comment by JD on 4/9 @ 6:23 pm #
5?! I would have to learn zone defense, and I grew up only knowing man-to-man D.
Comment by JD on 4/9 @ 6:36 pm #
MayBee is so very cool.
Comment by Enoch_Root on 4/9 @ 6:37 pm #
Cowboy – Rosaries at Mass – now that is the best gift the little guy (and us) could ask for. Thx!
Comment by Enoch_Root on 4/9 @ 6:38 pm #
MayBee is, as you say, very cool.
Comment by Dan Collins on 4/9 @ 6:40 pm #
So, Enoch. Details. Pix.
Comment by Dan Collins on 4/9 @ 6:41 pm #
Bet he’s got your penis.
Comment by SarahW on 4/9 @ 7:13 pm #
Maybee, to tell you the truth, I’m kind of afraid to hear Darleen’s story.
Comment by Obstreperous Infidel on 4/9 @ 8:11 pm #
JD, Enoch, BBR and any other PW commenters or lurkers that have had a beautiful child lately, congratulations! JD, both your wife and your new child are beautiful. You a happy man! I have two absolutely beautiful girls myself (three counting the wife who drew the short straw to marry me) and am genuinely happy for your new arrivals. Again congratulations and enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!!!
Comment by TmjUtah on 4/9 @ 8:29 pm #
Congrats! Cigars! Champagne! Brochures for college loans, all around!
Seriously, good going, and good luck, to all the new parents and godlets, deities not yet manifest, and goddesses.

Sleep beckons. Better half has really enjoyed all of the comments, though she questioned some of your eyesight. Thanks.

Congrats, JD!

Congratulations you guys!

JD
WOW!! Woohoo!! Congrats and your wife looks wunderful!!
Enoch…oh my oh my… my best wishes
A veritable bevy of babies!!! My grandmotherly instinct to coo and cuddle is in high overdrive.

HAHAHAHAH!!!
Ok..thumbnail
1979 1st born, long labor (she had a big head), natural no drugs 8 lbs 3 oz 20 in
1981 2nd born, most of the labor was done while watching Raiders of the Lost Arc… I was NOT going to leave the theater. Had #2 within 30 minutes of hitting the hospital. No drugs, 7 lbs 8 oz 21 inches
1983 3rd born, made sure to try and get to the hospital a bit early…had her within 60 minutes, 8 lbs 5 oz 20 1/2 inches
1987 4th born, went to hospital at first contraction… Doc checks me, only 4 dilated, he yawns says he’s going to the cafeteria for lunch since I should be in there a few more hours. Two (count ‘em, TWO) contractions later the nurse goes flying down the hall to fetch him as I’m suddenly at 10 and read to deliver. He scoots into the room to catch #4, a little amazed at it all. He remarks “easiest delivery I’ve ever had”. I quip “does that mean I get a discount on the bill?” Nurses snicker as he looks shocked and says “uh, NO!” #4 is 8 lbs 14 oz 20 inches.
I think its all that old hillbilly, hardscrapple farmer background. I loved being preggers and while labor was, well, work! I got through it really well.
and Maybee made me startle the cats with laughter re: milk. I could hear almost any baby crying when my girls were infants and the front of my shirt would get soaked.
and I just LOVE LOVE LOVE teh babies!

Enoch_Root: Declan Michael born at 1:14CST
JD: If it had been a boy, we would have named him John Declan.
“Declan” was a top pick of mine, too, but that one was shelved in committee. Turns out Wife is not as big an Elvis Costello fan as I am. Who knew?
Big ups to Enoch_Root, JD and mgroves. The comments section will sound a bit drowsier for the next few months.
Comment by Lost My Cookies on 4/10 @ 8:19 am #
All the cool stuff happens when I’m away. Way to go guys.

Congratulations to all the new parents!
I kinda envy your sleepless nights and dealing with dirty diapers.
