Darrin Drader Goblin Sharpshooter (Lvl 2)
Announcing Nicole Drader

I usually don't share a lot about my personal life here, but I think this merits an exception to that policy. Today at about 9:00 AM Pacific time, we welcomed Nicole Drader into the world. This is my second child, and due to numerous complications in the pregnancy, it was a long haul to get this one.

I now return you to you regularly scheduled programming.

From one proud papa to another, congratulations!

(and believe me, I know all about complications in pregnancy - not from firsthand experience but from my wife's and my brother-in-law's wife's firsthand experience)

Congrats, Dad! Tough pregnancy are a pain in the keister, but luckily we've only had one of those. My condolences to your wife!

But hey, you're past that now, right? Now it's middle of the night feedings and diapers again.

MAZEL TOV, DARRIN!!!

Congratulations to you and your family, Darrin!

I hope that your wife and Nicole are well, and that they will be home soon. I think you should have a Sleep spell handy.

Congratulations! Since it's your second I won't bother with the normal good natured ribbing and simply let it be and hope your wife has a quick recovery and wish you and yours the very best!
