HAPPY 2008!!!
A new year, a new baby, the miracle of new life, and a new chapter in our lives. Never has the turning of the calendar's page meant so much to us. What an amazing day.
From our family to yours, have a very Happy New Year!!
UPDATE: Welcome, InstaPundit readers! My earlier post announcing the birth of our New Year's Eve baby, with pictures, is here.
That's one beautiful baby! Congratulations and Happy New Year, Becky, Brendan, and Loyette! :)

How exciting! It's actually not usual to have a baby on its due date...or is it? Oh what do I know! Loyette...give you folks hell now, k, 'cause it'll be entertaining reading for the rest of us.
(Hearty laugh).
CONGRATS!

Congratulations on the new arrival.
All through the pregnancy, the infant stages, toddler, etc you'll hear people say 'that was the easy part, it gets tougher now.' They keep saying that until sometime after graduate school.
Have fun with the next 25 or so 'easy parts'.

Congratulations! My wife and I just welcomed our third a couple of weeks ago. Your life will not be the same, I can promise you that. And it's (mostly) for the better! ;)

I have to agree with FzxGkJssFrk - As much as I kid when I post here, being a father is a blast - Mostly good stuff even if they do get on my nerves sometimes (I'm one who likes quiet - hahahaha)

Congratulations! My daughter was born on Dec 31 as well! It makes for a festive New Years Eve. The next day I watched ND beat West Virgina for its last national championship. Almost got kicked out of the materity ward for screaming too loudly whilr watching the game with the new family - I guess the nurses just couldn't appreciate the joy of it all!
