It's a GIRL!

[ManDownUnder]

Baby girl born to my wife Saturday morning, 9:00 on the dot.

Birth went as well as it could stage 2 kicking off at 4:30 delivery at 9:00 and home by 1:30!

Mum's happy and doing well
Baby's asleep and doing well
Brother is stoked
Sister is stoked
Dad is stoked.

It's as good as it gets for a birth. Water births are awesome - highly recommended

Baby has no name yet, and weighed in at 7 lbs (3.08 kgs) on the day... 17 days early!

Cheers... and I never thought I'd say this - but I don't know what was more fun - making baby or playing catch at the end.

I know I did sod all work betwen times though

I have a refreshed/newfound respect for midwives though. Awesome people!

[Devil]

Congrats, Ugly!

I suggest "Desmosedici". Muhahaha

[jazbug5]

Fantastic- I am very happy for you all! Have a cee-gar.

[ManDownUnder]

naming suggestions are fine with me.

A couple of "parameters"
Last name "Kelly"
NO initial that spell summat rude or stupid
Manx heritage (Isle of Man - TT Races as in)

edit - make them girl names
NO androgenous names (Tony/Toni etc)

[WRT]

Yeah April was hot.

Right-eo. Now we have April Kawa-Suzi MDU.

Anyone else got something to add?

[In The Breeze]

Best wishes:niceone:



Kids eh... can't live with em, but you're not allowed to cook them either! oh bugger!

How about Breeze?:sunny:

[WRT]

Best wishes:niceone:

[Karma]

[ManDownUnder]

Hmm... how about... Kelly?

Middle initial K too

[emaN]

naming suggestions are fine with me.

Manx heritage (Isle of Man - TT Races as in)



Creg? Gooseneck? Ah, i know...Brandywell!!

[bugjuice]

kwaka kelly sounds like a movie star name.. she'll be famous, and have style at the same time

could call her 'Jelly' with a silent 'J'?

[Karma]

Or you could do the retro 90s thing and name her after her place of conception... so that would be?? Kitchen-Table Kelly?

[Colapop]

Good news MDU. Now it's wait for 15 years then you get to scare the bikers that'll come nosing round.

My daughter is 11 and I've told her she can go anywhere she likes, with whoever she likes, at whatever time of day she likes and do whatever she likes.


And she knows I'll be 3 feet away at all times with a large rusty knife!

[Grahameeboy]

Amander!!!!.....

[Disco Stu]

Now you'll get to dicover the true meaning of sleep deprivation... :p

[Lou Girardin]

[skelstar]

Well done. Congrats!

[ManDownUnder]

Congrats, a hat trick!

My hat had nothing to do with it... why did Joe Cocker just come to mind "you can leeeave your hat on..."

[ManDownUnder]

Congrats!! :)

Now you'll get to dicover the true meaning of sleep deprivation... :p

... again...

[bugjuice]

My hat had nothing to do with it... why did Joe Cocker just come to mind "you can leeeave your hat on..."
did you leave your socks on?

[Grahameeboy]

did you leave your socks on?

well he obviously was not wearing a 'sock' on one of his legs!!!!

[bugjuice]

may be this (http://www.passionshop.com/images/spl8p1.jpg) was his hat..?

[ManDownUnder]

did you leave your socks on?

a 6 hour work out usually leaves me hot enough with leaving socks on - but thanks for your concern...

[Grahameeboy]

may be this (http://www.passionshop.com/images/spl8p1.jpg) was his hat..?

Now I know what Cibby got Postie for Christmas......!!!

[Motu]

Condradulations! Our 3rd was a waterbirth too...he just floated around checking things out,looked like he was thinking,''yep,looks pretty cool here,think I'll stay''.And a big ups for the midwives too,our 4 kids had the same midwife for 3,and one midwife for 2 - they both came for the last one,it's really special to have that bond with them.When our kids were born we kept away from the family names bit - like,''how come you named them after that lot and not me?!'' But now that we have reshearched our families I kinda feel we should of honoured our forebears....the names have come down,and then stopped at us.

[Sniper]

hey!!

yeah, he's probably right..

Sweet, that leaves me with a clean playing feild

[Sniper]

naming suggestions are fine with me.



Throgmorten

[Grahameeboy]

Throgmorten

and our survey said.....:puke:

[Macktheknife]

Congratulations to you all MDU, you should be used to the sleep deprivation thing after the first 2, now you are entering that dangerous time when you start to think its fun to be this tired and always have the distinct smell of baby shit in your nostrils. lol
Good on you, best wishes to the family.

[Colapop]

Well now I didn't know that it was 3 of 'em!! See now 2 is ok but with 3 the pressures are that much greater. I'll tell ya what, being the good guy I am in all I'll help ya out by taking that pesky bike off your hands and GIVING, yes giving, you a charade to run around in to do all those extra jobs you'll now have. Aren't I a good guy?

[Zed]

Congratulations on your latest edition to the family Nigel!!

As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them! :D

[heavenly.talker]

Baby girl born to my wife Saturday morning, 9:00 on the dot.


Congrats MDU this is fantastic news!!! Delighted for you.

...Always though Kim is a great name for a girl :innocent:

[mstriumph]

Arrrr crap i missed the point that it was a girl.. hence Barry.

yes Suzi (spelt that way) would be most apropriate.
I mean who would call there kid Kwaka??

Donald & Daisy Duck??

:thud:

-------- but seriously MDU - AWSOME!!!!! :2thumbsup

[Scorpygirl]

Awesome news MDU and Mrs MDU!!! :clap:

No good on names - sorry! ;)

But will continue to watch the ideas. :corn:

[crashe]

Congratulations to Mrs MDU as she did all the hard work.....
and she will be the one up in the middle of the night and doing all the feeding and the changing of dirty nappies etc...

Mr MDU well done mate.... so where are the pic's of the little one.

As to names for the baby... I could come up with a few names, but both Mrs MDU and you will have the fun finding the right name for this little one.
Just make it easy for her to spell when she gets to school.

So now we have another little junior KB'er in our midst... gee the list keeps on growing of little KB'ers.





And Bugjuice and Sniper its HANDS OFF....

[Riff Raff]

Congratulations Nigel and Mrs MDU.

I've always loved the name Erin for a girl.

Otherwise you could name her Susan after me!!!! Course if you did that, her middle name would have to be Fart. Whaddya reckon?

[Mad Cow]

Well that answers the PM I just sent you nicely! Total mischief!!
Congrats on the new addition to the clan!:drinkup:

[APPLE]

congrats,mate well done buddy?

[jrandom]

Name it Mahershal-al-hashbaz.

And consider my voice added to the general worry over who they're giving breeding licences to these days. I dunno, eh?

[Biff]

Congrats to you both mate.

Biffina?
Biffela perhaps?

[Lias]

Osama Biff Laden?

[soundbeltfarm]

congrats mate.

[Hitcher]

Congratulations on the new arrival to the extended Kiwibiker family.

Given that yours is a Suzuki household, I recommend Katana as a suitable name. Certainly more suitable than Chlamydia...

[bugjuice]

I had Chlamydia once..
she wasn't very good
oh, giggity giggity

[Krayy]

Most excellent news, congratulations.

I (we my wife) can also recommend epidurals as a relatively painless way to get the baby through.

[babyB]

Babies are so wonderful nice
theyre made not only of sugar and spice!
theyre made of charms & smiles & laughter
And happeness forever after!
Congratulations
and best of luck
to you all

life is filled with lots of things
that make it all worthwhile

Congrats MDU... I say we have a name deciding competition on here.

[ManDownUnder]

...Or Layla:baby:

I've always loved the name Rose...

Good call on Rose - we chose that as the middle name for our 3 year old (now a "big sister" and immensely proud too!)

[bugjuice]

[bugjuice]

for Mrs MDU... (http://www.britart.co.uk/images/big/bwork3758.jpg)

[crashe]

MDU - Has 14/1 been given a real name yet...

Or are we to all call her 14/1 for the rest of her life?????

[ManDownUnder]

MDU - Has 14/1 been given a real name yet...

Or are we to all call her 14/1 for the rest of her life?????

Not yet - there's no hurry y'know.

We have a shortlist (actually I have a solo list) and I'm waiting for my beloved to work through her options till we eventually work out something that suits.

We're close, but then - we were close just before those 4 books of baby names arrived at our house... at the same time at the outlaws.
Yaa - go figure

"Baby" will do for now. That's what we call her.
MDU

[Colapop]

That works for heaps of Maori's ow! I know a couple of chicks called Babe. Works for Samoans too, I know heaps of fullas called Solly (Samoan for boy) of course there's a few called Tasi, Lua, Tolu, Fa'a and Lima. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) Haven't met an Ono yet though (6).

How about Taylor? It works well both genders.....

[Motoracer]

Congratulations man. Very happy for you and your family! :)

[ManDownUnder]

...Eden Grace Leigh Kelly...

[hXc]

Very nice name. I hope she grows up to be a great young lady. Congratulations!

[Hitcher]

Well worth the wait. Thank you linesmen, thank you ball boys.

[Keystone19]

About bloody time too...

[_Gina_]

...Eden Grace Leigh Kelly...

Nice name.....my eldest daughters middle name is Grace - I love it. : )

Gg

[crashe]

...Eden Grace Leigh Kelly...



Awwww and I was so getting used to calling her 14/1 too...

Lovely name for a lovely little girl.

MDU - you sure took your time to name her... :whistle:

[Colapop]

Why that a right purty name, that ya finally got to call her.... Someone else naming their baby straight give ya a bit of a nudge was it? Or were your existing kids getting on your nerves asking how 14/1 was?

[ManDownUnder]

na - simply a case of taking our time to get it right. I though I had it pegged a while back, and I nearly did.

A little extra reading and some last minute negotiations... and there it is!

MDU

[Smokin]

Congratulations to you both :clap: , It's awesome being a dad, except for nappy changing:shake:

[Mad Cow]

That real purdy.........

[Maha]

Yea well done to you both, naming can be a struggle but also can be very easy like the idoits in a town i lived in called thier twins Benson and Hedges, in the same hospital were another set of twins born to a couple who must have loved motor racing, they named they cuties Senna and Piquet......:laugh: enjoy your new bundle guys.

[Colapop]

You wanna try going to school in Wairoa with mongrel mob kids.... Ford V8 Hapeta, and Outlaw Renegade *can't remember surname*. They ended up with other names, Ford became "Bungeye" and another guy "Ching" on account of his chingy eyes....

[Maha]

Or the chinese naming tradition, empty coke can thrown down the ' great wall of china ' steps.........ping yong yin tan taung ming etc etc etc
