BABY! (the 2nd one!)

[Diomedes]

That's right! #2 arrived on Tuesday evening. Juna Marley. She's doing great, mom's doing great, all good.

If anyone remembers from #1, my wife and I carry the same rare genetic disorder, so like her sister Sela, Juna is an IVF baby, and anyone who's had to do that know it isn't fun. So if you're experiencing anything along the the lines of infertility, IVF, etc, don't hesitate to reach out, especially if you feel like people just don't get what you're going through.

And now I'm off to sleep for maybe two hours before she's hungry again. Woohoo!

Robert Nesta would be proud.👍

Mazel tov! Enjoy whatever unconsciousness you can grab, and I hope mum is doin' fine. Cheers!

Congrats on a healthy and happy number 2! It’s amazing how fast time goes with number 2 when compared to number 1! Likely because you’re way busier now!

Congratulations! Enjoy! The best thing I ever did in life was become a dad!

Robert Nesta would be proud.👍

Catch a Fire and Exodus are basically perfect.

She's sleeping right next to me - I'm on the couch, she's in her little bed. She makes little squeaks occasionally. <3

My daughter's at 20 months and she'll deliver oratory to God knows whom for the first hour or so after we lay her down in the evening. Perhaps, she's communing with The Reptilians...

May yours be blessed with powers of transcendental communication.

Congratulations! I’m sorry you have to go through the tribulations of IVF, but that’s awesome you have had 2 successful attempts! My manager is in the same boat (just not sure of the reason). 2 kids by IVF.

Enjoy the expanded family! You are definitely blessed! I miss those cute little crib squeaks.

Congrats!

I see the pump arm. Strong. Mighty!

Congratulations on another warrior to the pack!

Congratulations to you and the rest of the family!

Congratulations.
I think i remember a post you made awhile ago about trying for a second and having a hard time. (i think it was you)...
im glad it worked out. and now it begins lol

i had 1 and thought i was gunna go crazy. i now have my second and realized how far from crazy i was then, but how close to going crazy i am now. lol (1yo and 3yo). i think im done at 2 kids.

i always found it amazing that every cell knows what to do. that the cells in your ear, know that they are an ear and that they should form an ear on the side of the head, and not on the arm, or chest, or some other random spot.

Congratulations on successfully intermingling and reproducing your genetic code.

Adorable, congrats! My wife has Turners syndrome so I know the trials with IVF, we lucked out with two healthy girls but the process is challenging and expensive.

Congrats!!! She is beautiful. Glad mom is doing well. Hold on tight, it only gets faster and faster from here on out. Mine are 9, 11, and 14 now. I swear they were toddling around and I blinked and WOAH how did I get here?!? Enjoy
