| | Rikki was discharged this afternoon so she and the baby are now home. Which means you'll probably be seeing more of her online soon. 
In the meantime, I threw up some of the photos on our website at: Denis Quinlan
Thanks so much for all the well wishes -- it appears to have worked!
Troy

My wife says I can put whatever I want here, so: I think fish is nice, but then I think that rain is wet, so who am I to judge?

| | | Denis Quinlan was born 6/23 at 11:17pm, weighing 6lbs 10oz, and 20in long.
Ok, Rikki, I am really glad you and Denis are both doing great, but you really should have held him in until 12:06 am on the 24th , so he could have shared a birthday with my son , he turned 23 on Wednesday.
I am really happy that everything went well .
Congratulations Troy and Rikki. |

Apparently Troy had his days mixed up.

Apparently Troy had his days mixed up. | I'm just happy both of you are doing so well. You have to forgive Troy, childbirth is so hard on men.
