My wife and I are proud to announce the birth of our baby daughter - AMRITA BALAJEE on November 3, 2005.
Stats (for those who feel they need to know):
Height - 21 inches
Weight - 7 pounds 8 ounces
Mother and baby are doing fine.. My wife had a fairly long and exhausting labor and is recouping.. Amrita is being a sweetheart and cooperating!
The feeling is surreal. The joy I felt seeing her for the first time and everytime she looks onto me is something I can never express. As Rob put it - feelings that make the english language look crude.
Interestingly, having a baby is diametrically opposite to the American culture of consumer enterprise. No 'try before you buy'. No return policy (No refunds, no exchanges whatever receipt you may have). No instruction booklet. But you know what.. I'm lovin' it!!
In the meanwhile, I'm whispering the words 'I want to be a doctor' and 'Tennis' into her ears before she sleeps everynight.. It's never too late to add to your retirement plan.
More later..

Woohoo congrats! Now the real question is "did the hee hee hoo" play at all?

Thank you sraikh and ash.
For the record - the first thing that went out the window when labor started was the "hee hee hee hoo.."
:)

What you are doing to the poor infant is known as "subliminal indoctrination." Also referred to in some circles as "captive brainwashing." You are a wicked, wicked man.
Let me know if it works.
