A New Story Begins: Welcome to the World, Hannah!
A brief break from the regularly scheduled rambling of my blog to announce the joyous arrival of Hannah Grace Gibson!
Our beautiful daughter joined us at 10:39 PM on June 22 and weighed in at a svelte 6 lbs, 7 ounces (a whopping 6 ounces bigger than her big brother Henry, who can't wait to meet her...or maybe ask if we can send her back when he realizes that she's here to stay). Baby Hannah and Mommy Jess are doing great!
More nonsensical blog posts to come soon, including an update on Cheesecalibur.

Erica, you are now my new best friend. At least until someone else tells me something really nice. :)
She's beautiful!!!! Your wife looks great too. Now if Hannah had just waited a couple more hours we could have shared a birthday. Congrats Sean!

Of course, my wife's birthday is June 11, and my son's b-day is June 26, so I'll have a birthday hat permanently affixed to my noggin around this time every year...
On the plus side, cake. Cake. And more cake.
Because cake.
Also buying lots of presents. Because presents. :)
I know whereof I speak: 3 of my kids have birthdays within a 10 day period in April.

Hokey smokes, Bullwinkle! I feel your birthday pain...
Sean, congrats on that cute baby of yours. Lil Hannah is adorable. Now I want to go sniff some baby lotion in a pink bottle.

That stuff is the best. Everyone should have a bottle at home, baby or no baby.

Random thought: if you're an orc, are babies like veal? Just wondering...
Ewww! Your wife would bash you right over the head if she saw that post!

^^ YES!!! (D & D tonight..... seethe with envy ;))
CONGRATULATIONS! OMG She's so cute!
@ Tadiana -- I think it's a perfectly fair question...@ Karly -- ...as Karly can attest. I'm glad you agree, Karlington, and I am indeed seething (albeit as much with fatigue as envy right now)
@ Brittain -- Thanks! I'm a big fan...she's pretty freaking fantastic. ;)
Just as long as you don't do any taste testing. ;)
Did you start telling dad jokes with Henry or is it an accumulation/;earned thing? It's a rite of passage you know
Sean wrote: "Random thought: if you're an orc, are babies like veal? Just wondering... "Totally legit question and I think the answer is yes.
Of course I'm taste testing...have you seen how scrumptious that girl is??B, I've been telling dad jokes since before I was a dad...
And thank you, Cathryn, for being such a paragon of logical virtue.

Haha! I'm a little concerned that you've been eavesdropping on my conversations...

I'm not evading eavesdropping but don't check under your couch anyways

It would be weird if you were under my couch. But kind of funny.
Ohmyohmyohmyyyy *burst out crying* So so so so adorable! And your wife.. elle est belle!(I don't know why I'm sprouting French all of a sudden o_o )
Your daughter is so adorable I feel like *grabby hands* holding her xD
CONGRATULATIONS, SEAN :D You must be one proud papa and husband!
Congratsssss!! I don't usually like babies (tbh I hate them most of the time), but yours is cuute!! Again, congrats for your daughter and I wish her and your family the best of lucks!
Sean wrote: "Of course I'm taste testing...have you seen how scrumptious that girl is??"I didn't want to freak you out earlier but yes, lil' Hannah is so cute I just want to gobble her up. Cute babies bring out the turkey in me.
@ Evelyn -- L'etat c'est moi! Sorry...that's all the French I've got, really. That said, thank you!! I am not just a proud papa and husband, but a very lucky one, too!@ Vane -- It's okay--most babies have faces only their parents could love, especially at the very beginning. I'm admittedly biased, but I agree with you that this particular baby is rather cute. ;)
@ Licha -- Hahahaha! Better a turkey than an orc, I guess. ;)
How is Henry handling the whole thing, Seanish?
Ashley *Hufflepuff Kitten* wrote: "How is Henry handling the whole thing, Seanish?"So far, so good! He's being a sweetheart. Of course, his b-day was yesterday, so the Thomas the Tank Engine cake helped his mood. ;)
Thanks for asking, Ashley!
Happy late bday!! I love Thomas the Tank :) I bet he had a great day :) We want to see pics of them together next :)
Lindsey wrote: "Congratulations! She is beautiful!"Thanks, Lindsey!
Such a beautiful baby. Congratulations Sean!
Thanks, Paige!As the noted philosopher Jon Bon Jovi once said, Miriam, I'll live while I'm alive, I'll sleep when I'm dead (so, no).
Tadiana--ask and you shall receive.
What has two thumbs, Captain America pants, and is wide awake? This guy!
I'm told the male pattern baldness is a temporary condition in girl babies.
Big brother Henry is either being incredibly sweet or trying to eat baby Hannah. TBD.
Awww, cute! Thanks for the fix! Tell Henry no taste testing.
OMG, this is the cutest!!! Enjoy it while it lasts - soon enough there is a real chance of her biting his nose when he does that. Muhahahahaha.Seriously though, thanks for the pictures - so adorable!
