There are two more Scorps in my life, and in the world: The Twins were born after almost 20 hours of labor for Scorp Mom, but all three are healthy, and recovering after their ordeal...

Our Daughter - born on 7 NOV 2007 at 11:47PM, 6 lbs 2 oz.

Our Son - born on 8 NOV 2007 at 12:23AM, 5 lbs 8 oz.

Debra went into labor EARLY on WEDS morning, but didn't wake me up until going on 7AM - thought it might be another false alarm like the day before. She was really beat after the first birth, and it was looking like a C-section (something she did not want!), but she managed to get her strength back enough to push the little fella out. Damn! I'm proud of her! Sweet & petite, but tough as nails!

Both babies have a head full of hair that's darker than Mom's, but lighter than Dad's. Both have good lungs - cry like little banshees! Oddly enough, they don't kick at me when I touch them now like they did in the womb - maybe they know better...

... or, they're biding their time till they can stand on their own to kick me in the butt!

All Y'all:

Thank you! Y'all are the greatest!

All my Scorps are home - and in bed with me every night. Yeah, I know! Bad Idea! But they won't sleep unless they're both in between Mom & Dad... They are SMALL, but LOUD!

I know they're mine, and I'm biased, but they are the prettiest babies - like little china dolls. They won't hush for me, but they will for Deb -- go figure!

I'll be home with them until after Thanksgiving, and going back to work will be like a vacation -- already feel like a one legged man in an ass-kicking contest! It still hasn't really sank in that I'm a Daddy again, or that for the first time in my life I have a Son...

My VirDad actually choked-up on the phone when I called him. Before Debra came along, I think he thought his life was pretty much over -- now he's remarried, and a Grandfather again, and all because of a Scorpio pipsqueak...

My original Scorp Daughter is gonna be a terrific Big Sister -- was laughing and teared-up the first time she held them. Oh yeah, The Twins are gonna be spoiled as all get out, and I doubt there's much I can do to prevent it... and, I'm not gonna fret about it! (Ain't got time for that nonsense!)

Hope y'all have a great Thanksgiving. I can't believe how much I have to be thankful for -- and it all started right here on DXP...

This might be a bit late, but as a show of gratitude, y'know, for all of that time DXP has been here for you, I think it'd be nice if you called the girl after one of our female DXPosters, say, "Lady M".

The boy, naturally, would be called "In your face"

Lady M = Emma (See what I did there, I know genius)
In Your Face = Chase? (I don't know I ran out of ideas after the first one.)

Hmmm... Emma & Chase -- sound like good DXP nicknames, thanks...

Shaka2: "Dy, Im not sure if I should congratulate you or wish you luck..take your pick!"

Hey, you know how it is: When my three Scorps are piled up in bed and sleeping soundly, I know I'm the luckiest bastard on Earth; but, when they wake up... well, it's gonna be a tough row to hoe!

Roxi: "you leave your dignity at the doorstep when you go to give birth."

True. My Leo Mom used to tell us boys, "Imagine trying to sh1t a bowling ball -- that's what delivering y'all was like!"

You women amaze me...

Egads! Tried to get The Twins to sleep in their own bed last night, and they both started squalling at around 1 AM! Debra rocked them to settle them down, and then I sent her to bed, and hunkered down with them in my big cushy reading chair - one in each arm. And that's how she found us this morning - and of course, took a picture - me with my hands full, bleary-eyed, and my hair going every which way but straight. And no, I won't be posting that photo on DXP - and I'm not even gonna ask about it!
