I am the proud father of my first child. Sadie Alexis Fisher 7lbs 3oz 20.5 inches. Born 12:40 am Tuesday morning and 4 weeks earlier than the projected due date. She is doing great and should be coming home Friday. I tried to get my wife to agree to the name Amanda Lynn Fisher but she wasn't going for it. Sadie has nice long fingers that could be great for playing the mando. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mandosmiley.gif

All the best indeed!
We had a Christmas Day baby, 17 years ago. He came 3 weeks early and gave us an extra Christmas present. We always have a 'half' birthday party on June 25th - otherwise it would be hopeless.
Congratulations. The best present ever.

Congratulations on being blessed with a daughter!! # http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
My first-born (now 22) - also a daughter, and also with long, slender fingers (they were longer than mine when she was 10-years old) - never picked up a stringed instrument until her final year at college when she took a guitar class (just this fall) for her minor in music. (She graduates in April from Western Michigan University.) #She took piano for a couple years when she was 10-12 or so, but with 3 guitars, a banjo, and 2 mandolins around the house, she never took that plunge! #(Her music minor is vocal performance - the girl can SING!)
So I hope Sadie Alexis picks up the mandolin and becomes as wonderful on it as Alison Krauss is on fiddle! #http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
Blessings - and Merry Christmas!
If I know Greg, he will be playing mandolin lullabies to that child every nite till she can hold a pick. Congrats Monica and Greg!

Congratulations, Greg! Over 7 lbs is great for 4 weeks early, looks like Mommy did good. I'm sure you'll play lots of mandolin for her now... and they certainly hear every note! My twins, now 4, are ahead of most all their peers in being able to keep a beat, sing in tune, and recognize/reproduce melodies, and of course they still love to hear the mandolin, over guitar or anything else I get out.
Enjoy all the milestones and take lots of pictures, as they change fast as lightning at this stage. Best regards.

Congratulations, She looks perfect and healthy as can be. Enjoy EVERY moment with her, because they learn things so quickly that once they move on to new things they never go back and do those little things that they used to do.I am the father of 4 and I get to stay at home with my 4 month old. It's the first time I've had that chance and I can't believe what an amazing thing this is. I'm having the time of my life. Enjoy her!

Yes - the little ones make life worth living. But why do they have to grow up so fast?

She'll be the joy of your life!! Congrats and Happy Holidaze!!!!
Congratulations, Greg! There's nothing better in life than the joy of a child. I have three joys who play violin, cello, and piano. I'm sure your daughter will grow to be a wonderful musician herself.

Sadie is beautiful and looks healthy too. Congrads, Greg!
Yes, do play a lot for her. I don't have children but I introduced acoustic music to my neighbor's children when they were first born, both live and on CD, and now they all know and love the sound of tonemonster acoustic guitars, fine mandolins, soulful fiddles and dobros, bodrans, Irish flute, and ukes too. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mandosmiley.gif

Just a quick update. Sadie has a slight case of Jaundice and needs to spend time under special lighting. She looks like she's at a tanning salon.
