**Brandon Sheley** · 03-17-2009, 12:27 AM

I'm a proud father to a 9lb 12oz baby boy
I'll post some pictures later today

I do have a couple pics on facebook, if you want a sneak peak.

Gongrats man!
I do not know if he is your first, but you'll be a softy from now on!
It is so fantastic to be a dad, nothing, absolutely nothing can beat that!
Have fun with your first diaper, first fountain in your face, first vomit (and second, and third and...), first sounds, first sleepless night, first sleeples week, first crawl, first words, first walk, first vase broken, second vase broken, first smile, first wink, and everything after en between that!

Let's see that boardbaby!!!

Congrats Brandon. And I hope your wife and the baby are doing ok. I know that can be a tiring time when a baby is first born. I wish you and your family the best. So what did you name your son?

**Caddyman** · 03-17-2009, 02:45 AM

Congrats to you both, that is great man, enjoy every day of it.

Congrats B

**Brandon Sheley** · 03-17-2009, 09:32 AM

thanks everyone, it is our first and didn't hurt me at all

Alissa did great. we went into the birth and womens center around 2 pm. induced for 2 hours, took off for 2 hours to go walk and eat, went back for 2 more hours of inducing and we had the baby at 1.27 am that night (St Patricks day)

We are all doing fine, but don't be surprised if I'm not very active of vBSetup for a couple of weeks.

**Caddyman** · 03-17-2009, 09:38 AM

awesome dude, and lucky, that is a relatively short labor, our first took 37 hours....nightmare!

**2dub** · 03-17-2009, 10:20 AM

Congrats on the big boy!

**ArnyVee** · 03-17-2009, 03:46 PM

WOW, big boy!

Congratulations Brandon and I'm glad that everyone is doing fine!

**Michael Biddle** · 03-17-2009, 05:09 PM

**ARealRedneck** · 03-18-2009, 01:26 AM

Nice!! I'm so glad it didn't hurt you...

"St Patricks Day" are you Irish or should i say of Irish decendents? If you are then you timed that 'Perfect'!!

Anyway i wish you all the luck and good will in the world and hope that you have a fantastic family life together. :@787@:

**Brandon Sheley** · 03-18-2009, 09:43 AM

We both have a little Irish in us, so that's cool

We just got the name figured out this morning.

Leo Mason Sheley

**Cerberus** · 03-18-2009, 11:13 AM

That sounds like a fine name, very nice choice. And take your time and enjoy your new addition. We will try not to break anything while you are gone.

**Caddyman** · 03-18-2009, 11:38 AM

Leo is my dad's middle name...PIMP, could have went with Chase too, awesome name :P

**ArnyVee** · 03-18-2009, 04:32 PM

I would've gone with Anthony Samson Sheley. Wait....his initials would be....oh, forget that one. Maybe could've gone with Engelbert Humperdink Sheley

**Soliloquy** · 03-18-2009, 09:40 PM

Leo is a good strong name. Congratulations to your family!

**~kev~** · 03-19-2009, 05:53 AM

Congratulations,

Your life as you knew it is over. And now a new journey begins.

I only have three suggestions for you - have your wife breast feed, have lots of patience when the kid are growing up, and take lots of pictures (and not of the breastfeeding).

**Brandon Sheley** · 03-19-2009, 08:59 AM

thx again everyone
she is breast feeding, he's just like his dad, loves the boobs :p

**glennybee** · 03-19-2009, 09:35 AM

Congratulations Brandon. That's a big boy! I hope mother and son are healthy and well.

I'm also expecting my first child in 14 weeks...can't wait!

**ArnyVee** · 03-19-2009, 03:33 PM

Wow Glen, congrats to you too! Boy or girl?

**~kev~** · 03-19-2009, 04:30 PM

I missed the 12 pound part!! The kid is half grown already!!!!!

**Brandon Sheley** · 03-19-2009, 05:46 PM

Congrats Glenn, your first?
He had our 48 hr checkup, but didn't weigh him, we have an apt with the pediatrician tomorrow, I think we'll weigh him then.
