Brand New Brewers Fan

[JumpinMacFlash]

My wife and I welcomed our first child into the world this morning just after midnight. A just-under-eight-pound boy named Ben. No photos yet, but I'm working on it. Also trying to find a baseball to put near his left hand. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Congratulations!! And my sympathies over your impending lack of sleep, near-term http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif Great name, btw! Same as my oldest, who actually is a pitcher in little league, albeit right-handed.

Yes indeed, and then some. What a shame that you (probably) didn't know about the maternity shirts before baby arrived.

Ben--as in Sheets or Oglivie?

Congratulations:

 

My son, Ben, turned three in June. My wife didn't realize that I had suggested the name from one of my favorite Brewers until my daughter pulled out a baseball card team set that included Ben Sheets, Ben Grieve, Ben Hendrickson, and Ben Diggins. She was kind of upset until I told her that my other preferences were Gorman and Sixto.

 

Ben has just about mastered which hand he should put his glove on. We've started a throwing program and are currently working on blocking balls that take bad hops off of the living room carpet. The commissioner may force us to move to another venue as the wedding picture hanging above the mantle got dislodged by an errant throw. Catcher seems like his best position, as I don't think he will fit the Brewer philosophical prototype for pitchers.

 

Have fun. Each day is a new adventure with the kids.
