I am now a daddy! My girlfriend gave birth friday 2-22-02 at 22:09. The two of us are now proud parents of a 7 lbs. 6 oz. baby girl. We named her Rebecca Hailey.

I've slept a good 5 hours in the last 4 days. We took her in for induction of labor on friday at 6:30 AM and I was so excited I couldn't sleep at all Thursday night. Friday night I was up all night with the baby since she slept in our room. I tried to do as much as I could while I was in the hospital with my girlfriend so she could relax. We got to bring her home Sunday around 11 AM.

So far fatherhood is awesome. Just looking at her and seeing how much she looks like my girlfriend and I almost brings tears to my eyes. This is easily the greatest thing that's ever happened to me in my entire life. I eagerly await being woken up at all hours of the night for feedings and diaper changes. I have lots of pictures but I have no way of posting them. I'll try to find a way to get them up on the site for everyone to see soon.

let me be the 1rst too congartalute you craby. now im not a virgin any more the next step is too nock my bich up to. i tihnk i wold make a good fatheer, but any way congartalaton's!!

Congratulations, crabby & girlfriend !!!
Rebecca is a lovely name.

You EAGERLY AWAIT being woken up at all hours of the night for feedings & diaper changes ?
Where the hell were you when I was raising my kids ?

She'll bring you much joy !

oh by way craby it shold be 'how much she look's like my girl freind and me' not 'my girl freind and i'.

*big hug for crabby*

Congratulations, dad. :)

Wow, if that isn't the best attitude I've ever seen from a 17/18 year old father... Amazingly enough, I'm actually happy for you right now, which is no small feat considering that I've never met you before. *Big hug for the crabby one*

Off-topic: fuck is mye heero.

Yeah, way to go...POPS!

how can we agree youre girl freind is the best thing in your life ever when we dont even no her or you?? lamer

i love suzie and every thing but shes still my bitch. she dosnt care if i call her that, she sometimes refers to her self like that so stop whining

To fuck:
What I meant was everyone should agree with me that it is inappropriate and rude to call your girlfriend your bitch.
How old are you?

To Drexle:
Is your avatar sposta look like you, or is that coincedence...and are you gonna bee sarcastic to me for the rest of my life now?

shit, i always thought you were a woman.

Wow, what high spirits we have! Of course, I would be in high spirits as well if I had just given birth and had plenty of friends to ask advice of. I'm glad you got to experience the treasure at such an early age, actually. I think it takes a lot more endurance and courage to raise a child when you're not completely grown yourself. I don't mean that in a negative way, just that it's going to be hard, and I hope you're blessed with the patience to withstand it.

Congrats!

Drexle's avatar looks suspiciously Final Fantasy-ish to me.

crabby - while I shudder at the thought of a teenager raising a child, I'm in no position to judge: were I in your shoes, you wouldn't be able to see me for dust. But you seem a lot more responsible than that. Good luck!

Congrats, crabby. Be sure to post pics ASAP.

Yay crabs! Hopefully in the next two days you'll be able to get to the left half of the bedroom.

Congratulations, crabby.

Even if the baby was a couple of hours short of sharing my birthday. ;)

Congrats crabby. And happy birthday Dan! I didn't forget!

gutted crabs

d00d! sorry I wasn't around to chat about it, my internet has been shut off for awhile(again). I'm resorted to sneaking around others computers to check mail and stuff.

Anyway, Malzaltov or whatever they say. Congradulations, and good luck!

Congratulations, crabby. I wish you (and mommy & baby) much happiness. Makes me wish I had a girlfriend.

Congrats Crabby. Expect us to now refer to you as "Gramps" , and make lots of jokes about fatherhood.

Joshw: Its coincidence that the character looks a lot like me in the first place, but it's NOT coincidence that I photoshopped a little goatee on his face. As for sarcasm... would you believe me no matter what I say? :)

andy: Yep, got it in one. Some people claim it was the worst (or one of the worst) of the series, but I thought FFVII was the last great Final Fantasy.

VII was good, but VI was the best.

Having only played VII,VIII and IX I must say that 7 is the best. Though FFVI is coming out down here on Wednesday, with a FFX demo then maybe it won't be. Though I'm still confused with the ending of FVII.

Don't get me wrong, I've got no arguements against the greatness of VI. That game had obsessorific features that kept the geeky fanboy in me happy for years... like beating the game with *only* the three chracters it requires you to pick up after the world goes to shit. There were ways in which I thought that they got some things perfect in that game that they failed to recreate in future installments, like the fact that as much as I liked materia, I also liked it when characters had individual skills (and while IX gave them individual skills, they mucked up other things in the process... garg!).

The only thing I truly disliked about VII aside from the translation was that I wish more of the game took place in Midgar... the place was frickin' huge and you only got to visit maybe 10% of the whole city. Besides that, it was just a damn cool setting.

I haven't played X yet... don't have a PS2.

Oh and Bazilla, the ending of FF VII is supposed to be confusing from what I gather. I remember hating it at first, but I think what they wanted you to do was to reflect on things as opposed to having it all spelled out for you. It's certainly a better ending than IV had, that's for sure.

Yeah, it was sort of confusing, but I did (I think) get it, it's just, it seemed unfinished, there was nothing telling you what happened to any of the characters. That's why I quite like FF9, it's more of a "fantasy" land, and is more happy-ever-after-esque. I agree though, you should of been able to search Midgar more, ah well. At the moment it's still the best, until I get to play FFVI (and hopefully sometime IV) to think different.

Congratulations, crabby!

Can't you go have a Final Fantasy conversation somewhere else?

Congratu-fucking-lations Crabby Crabbola Crab-cakes!

Uncle Kajun will have to come over and visit some time, and what's wrong with 'Rebecca Firefly' as a name? It's got a nice ring to it you have to admit!

Congratulations, I think. Better you than me. I'm just not yet ready for that amount of joy.

I have no child-raising experience, but I have had experience taking care of a number of cats. I have this advice: When giving the baby medication, have your girlfriend hold the baby by the back of its neck while you squirt the medicine in her mouth. And watch out for the claws when your girlfriend lets go.

I find squirting the baby with a water pistol keeps it off the countertops.

Don't forget to have her neutered.

I'd like to add my congratulations to the already massive list. May you always maintain this positive attitude while raising your daughter. (She's gonna be a Daddy's Girl -- I can tell already.)

What's wrong with 2-22-02 at 22:02 ? That way there are 6(multiple of 2) 2s, and 2 0s, and the zeros are in simaler positions.

I'm my favorite numerologist :-)

:- )

I should make a comic about Father Crabby, but I can't think of one that's funny. For some reason, that's stopping me for once.

Well, be sure to keep the kid away from bad influences like teenagers. Or us.

WHOA!

My dad had to come check on me, he thought I was crying because I laughed so hard.

Crabby, when I was your age, I still had 4 changes of college major, numerous service employment situations (including 3 pizza delivery jobs, 5 cafeteria jobs, and 2 cinema jobs), 2 careers (shrink [at 5 different agencies] and sound man), 4 or 5 bands (depending on how you count 'em), another Master's, another career (academic librarian), 5 monogamous long-term relationships, a divorce, a remarriage, 6 cities, and about 15 residences ahead of me. If I'd had a kid at your age, she'd be your age now.

Don't know how I would've handled a kid. I can't believe I've actually kept myself alive this long. Anyway, you're in this atheist's prayers. All happiness to you and your family.

CONGRATULATIONS CRABBY!
