I just want to share

Bronx Bomber 15 · 01-22-2004, 03:37 PM

The newest addition to the Bronx Bomber family arrived home last night. An 8 lb. Bronx Bomberette born on 01-19-2004 was released from the ICU (thank God the problem cleared up quickly) and is home and doing great. She'll have the priviledge of spending her first Friday and Saturday nights of life watching the fights with her proud Dad (if she's awake which I'm sure she'll be). That makes three girls

. Maybe this will be the one to actually likes boxing

Congrats, Bomber. Great news!

Rasmuth · 01-22-2004, 04:10 PM

very cool!

Malcom987 · 01-22-2004, 04:17 PM

As the father of four daughters and one son, I commend your addition to the beauty of America. I hope you enjoy your girls as much as I have mine. Congrats on the recent arrival.

I am at the other end of the spectrum, 3 boys, none big Boxing fans but they all participate in Karate so thats close

Regardless there is nothing more special than the gift of a healthy child....congratulations to you and your family!!

Congratulations! Maybe if you buy her a mobile with figures of Joe Frazier, Sugar Ray Robinson, Muhammad Ali, Sonny Liston, etc, boxing will work its way into her head sub-consciously....

or it might give her nightmares....!

PittPanther · 01-22-2004, 05:14 PM

Fantastic!

crusadecat · 01-22-2004, 05:24 PM

Congrats BronxBomber. When I have a child we have settled on Mattingly as the name for if its a girl. So as you can tell I'm a big Yankees fan myself. : )

shane6969 · 01-22-2004, 05:28 PM

Congratulations to you and your family Bronx. As the other blokes have said, there is nothing more special than the birth of your own kids. Well done mate.

Cheers,

Shane.

djday45 · 01-22-2004, 06:11 PM

Let me add my congratulations as well, nothing is more important than your children. Just went to my 15 year old daughters last real parent teacher evening before she takes her crucial exams in about six months. She's doing really well so it was a good night and a huge relief!

My point is they grow up so quick. Make the most of each day with her because they are all precious.

Congrats again on being a dad.

Congrats to you and Mom

mking55 · 01-22-2004, 06:30 PM

Congragulations to you and your family!

I have 2 daughters (21 and 18), and I just want you to know being a father to those 2 has been and is the greatest thrill and experience of my life. In fact, I loved it so much, I asked my wife if she wanted to have another. She then went into the kitchen and got out a knife. I guess that was the answer.

I am envious.

Cap · 01-22-2004, 08:56 PM

I have two teenagers and a dog. Guess who greets me at the door every day when I come home from work?

They're great kids, and like Dean said, squeeze all the joy you can out of life now, because before you know it they're grown up. Not that they aren't still loveable then, but they have grown-up interests and distractions. Enjoy every stage. They'll always be your kids, no matter how old or wise they are.

maxx · 01-22-2004, 09:14 PM

Congratulations on the new addition. When it was my turn to deal with the crying baby in the middle of the night, I used to pop old fight films into the VCR and watch them while I rocked my son back to sleep. Now, as a 5 year old, he's smacking his dad around the room with Socker Boppers while we watch Friday Night Fights. Just learn from my mistake . . . don't teach your daughter how to throw a left hook. Ouch!

wildhawke11 · 01-22-2004, 09:20 PM

Please let me also add my congratulations to you and your wife. Mind you she did all the hard work over the last 9 months all you contributed was less then two minutes of your spare time, Well so your good lady is telling everyone i have heard

On a more serious note never ignore them even when your busy, if possible always make the time to talk with your children. Because one day from now, many years in the future, you to will want them to talk with you and lets hope that they will take time out of there busy life to repay that favour to you.
Love To You and Your Family.
Danny

Mark42661 · 01-22-2004, 11:56 PM

Congratulations Jim!

Cap and Danny are dead right in their comments. Take it from the father of a beautiful 19 year old daughter. Where did all those years go so fast?

By the way...what's her name?

Best wishes,
Mark

couriers · 01-23-2004, 01:38 AM

Congratulations Jim and best of luck to you and yours.

Tom Trunzo · 01-23-2004, 07:16 AM

Congrats from me & OOTP! At least you can play the game while you rock the young one to sleep!

Bronx Bomber 15 · 01-23-2004, 12:16 PM

LOL, she already got her first look at the boards, as she was in my arms last night while I was reading!
Thank you all so much for the well wishes, I feel like nothing in the world could go wrong right now.
BTW, her name is Isabella

Here she is at two days of age.
Thanks again guys and may I return your compliments with my best wishes to all of you and your families.

I tried to put a picture in...what happened?

Andreas Raht · 01-23-2004, 12:36 PM

Don't know why it doesn't display Isabella's image... when I copy the URL to a browser, I can see it... and she's so sweet!

All the best to you and to your family, Jim!
