Our newest addition!

William Richard was born 10/26 so he's just over a month old. He is the sweetest little boy ever! Unfortunately while we were off having the baby, the heater malfunctioned in my little 5G reef and cooked everything in it...including a TT and some wonderful torches and palys I've had for years :furious:
Stupid heaters!!
It was upsetting, but I have bigger things to worry about now...

He looks just like his daddy. If I hadnt been pregnant for 9 months and if the memory of labor pains wasn't so fresh in my memory, I'd wonder who his mommy is.

Hey! It's a baby!! Congratulations!!!

 

[NirvanaFan]

nice! Congrats! My tank got neglected when our son was born as well. It's all good though. I find more fun in setting up the tank than maintaining it anyways.

HA, cute kid!...which one of you was trying to Mohawk his hair?

btw, i just had something like that happen to me. Somehow my AC3 temp probe got pulled above the waterline and the system temp shot up almost 5 degrees. I caught it in time but my strawberry Monti is having a fit ATM I think it will pull through.

Congrats on the baby!!

Lotta hair on that kid! Born the day after my b'day. Congrats! Kids are awful!

thanks everyone!
and yes, i was trying to mohawk his hair haha. I'm going to spike it tonight and pop his collar, just to horrify his dad.

thinking about setting up a pico with some leftover parts. is 1 G too small for some pretty anemones and plays? i think i will ask for a ecopico LED strip for xmas.
i need a tank in my life, even if its teeny weeny.

I started my first reef aquarium when we got preggo 19+ years ago.
It was a huge change in my life... settling down and becoming a responsible adult.
There's a strong connection between my reef aquarium and my son (although he'll probably never know that and I would never tell him!)
With an aquarium you can find peace and solace: no advertisements, no arguing, no crying, no debates.

You can stop and wonder at the fragility of life in between changing diapers and losing sleep.

The kid in this thread is adorable. Looks like a little boxer. Good luck with him!

Wonderful. Beautiful baby. God Bless you and your family. I never had time for the hobby when my kids were growing up. Always busy with one event or crises or another; busy working too. They have filled our lives in wonderful ways. My wife and I raised two girls and a boy. The youngest is 30 now and the oldest is 39. We get to spend lots time with our two grandsons ages 15 and 3 but have more time for the things we want to do now.
