We're very proud parents of a perfectly healthy girl; we named her Victoria Rose, Tori for short.
We were very proud to have her without any anesthesia, too :D

Having been on the delivery room table a time or two let me speak for your wife when I say who is this"we" you're talking about Willis? SHE did it without pain killers dude :)

Congrats on the baby,my oldest girl was a tiny one,she's only 5ft tall now as an adult:)

Actually, the school of thought we followed for labor outlines husband coaching and relaxation. If I had not been there between her and the nurses, who are of course pro anesthesia, she may well have wound up with an epidural or some such horror.

Nonetheless, thanks for the warm wishes everyone :)

Btw, the most probable reason for my daughter's small size is a subchorionic hemorrhage during the pregnancy. Basically it's a rupture between the placenta and uterus, about 50% of these cases self-terminate. If that is in fact the case, she weill catch up in size quite quickly. Her big brother, who was premature, came from behind, too, and is tall for his age (23 months)
