Hey y'all I am back!! Yay, had my baby she was born November 16th at 3:57pm. She weighed in at 7lbs and 2oz and measured 20.5 in. Edit: I forgot to add her name!! Yeah her name is Aisha Kathleen.
She's adorable and extremely expressive, makes funny faces and does this crazy eyes thing.
I wanted to share some of her awesome pics!

She's an amazing baby so far, and I am sure most of you aren't really that interested but she is pretty fricken cute and at some point I will post her crazy eyes video. I almost piss myself laughing when she does it.

-
Congratulations chanicakes!
-
congratulations :)
gw is passed on yet again
-
oh hey, i forgot you were even pregnant.
i brought it up like two days ago saying she'd probably post pictures when the baby was born since thats what people do.
also i thought you knew it was a boy i remember a lot of male names in that topic.
regardless congrats.
-
Man that baby is really cute. I don't really like babies at all but that one is the awesomest I have ever seen!
Congratulations :D
-
i agree, that baby is adorable. a lot of times they look kinda disgusting and wrinkled, especially when they're still so young. she's adorable though. :D i hope you raise her to be... a true gamer...... :sport:
-
congrats! she looks cute. however, she seems to be angry at the camera
ahahahahah you have one of those baby signatures I"VE BEEN BREASTFEEDING FOR 1 DAYS 4 HOURS 17 MINUTES ahahahaha

Congrats Chani!
I demand the creation of a GW mums member group.
-
congratulations and aisha is a nice name
-
Thanks y'all. Yeah we weren't sure the last time I was here if it was a boy or girl so I was needing input on names, we found out just days after coming back from mexico it was a girl and we were ecstatic!
I don't think there are enough female mothers on GW for a mommy group though... and yeah she's a boobie girl, boob feeding is best for babies so I am doing it and surprisingly it isn't hard but that doesn't mean next time around won't be.
Yeah some times she doesn't like the camera but we do get good pictures of her posing she does like to do it until it's done too much. The cute screaming 23 of 25 pictures taken in a row so she wasn't too pleased.
Her "Googly Eyes" I will be posting to Youtube and then I will show it off here so that anyone in the world can witness the hilarity, it's just so weird and cute.
-
hahah! ilove that first picture! her expression is awesome!
congrats!
also, you definitely have my respect! i coudln't imagine how painful/hard/uncomfortable it would be to give birth/carry a baby inside of you!! i imagine it would be like wearing a heavy backpack ALL THE TIME!!
-
Congratulations for the baby.
Now then, you should totally make an avatar out of that Winnie the Pooh pick.
P.S. if you feel like crap after having the baby, eat a Banana or some other way to get some more potassium in your diet.

Congratulations on your gamer babe!
A gamer has been born. Walter will be pleased.
Semper babes... er, semper GAMES.

There are various ways to find out your babys console preference. Try to give her different brand controllers and see which console she likes best. I myself chose the Neo-Geo as a tod!
Semper games!

NO
Give your baby decent social skills and don't show her television until she's at least 6 PLEASE.
*THWAP*
Oh HAI baby!
*THWACK*
Aw cute SHE'S GLUED TO THE TV SCREEN
I don't know, maybe it's just me. But when I see anybody with the typical lazygamer expression -- y'know, the vacant eyes, the half-dropped jaw, the saliva dripping down the corner of the mouth -- I die a little on the inside. That person's going to be stupid for the rest of his or her life. I am NEVER going to let my kid play videogames. No, my kid's gonna be the next ANURAG KASHYAP and he's gonna curve all your goddamn test scores and you'll hate him but he'll have a great childhood, and he won't be sitting around the house either.
Seriously, you guys shouldn't joke about ruining a new human being.
Anyway, rant aside, I really hope your kid grows up healthy and strong and smart. Take good care of her! :D

I bet you're so busy pushing your children into piano lessons and after school exam practice classes that you don't see how much they resent you and they turn into beatnick degenerate drug addicts.

Man, you're like one of those horrible soccer moms who expects their 8 year olds to MAINTAIN A FILLED SCHEDULE and yells at them if they're late to the 3:15 cello practice by 5 minutes.
if your kid has anywhere above 2 hours of extra-curriculars before 9th grade you're probably stressing them the fuck out
-
oh my god you did not just namedrop the creepy ass nerd kid from the spelling bee movie as someone you want your kid to be like.
you want your kid to vapidly shun social activity and entertainment so that he can recite the correct spellings of every word in english?
-

i don't think giving your kid shit to do in his/her free time that doesn't involve pixels is being an overbearing parent. maybe he phrased it strongly and i certainly wouldn't want my kid to go to a national spelling bee because that shit is useless as hell, but encouraging other activities is good. like i wouldn't want my kids to be as socially awkward as i was but they should at least read and do shit outside with friends, and probably learn an instrument if they don't completely hate it.
good job having a baby that looks human! i had a conversation with my mom about this because she just walked in and asked what i was doing and she was trying to be tactful and said that babies aren't UGLY they are instead God's miracles, but she knows the truth. they are all red or yellow or blue and sometimes they are covered in wax or hair, and after they come out there is the BIRTH CAKE a slice for everyone!! it is my most fervent desire to experience this.
-
They aren't ugly and don't make you feel bad for looking at them even right after they came out unless they have serious birth defects
-
whoa
televised spelling competition for kids :o
it'd be pretty zany if it wasnt so nerdy

Heh. He's actually a pretty great guy to be around; I would know because I was his neighbor. And for your information he plays (minimal) DDR and some videogames BUT THATS NOT THE POINT.
The point is I don't want my kid to be playing videogames all fricking day. If you looked at my original post (god forbid anyone do that), you would see that I said the following:
Give your baby decent social skills and don't show her television until she's at least 6 PLEASE.
DECENT SOCIAL SKILLS.
Okay, yeah, of course I'd stress schoolwork. Want my kid to go to college. Huh. What a concept. No, I wouldn't send the kid off to CELLO LESSONS and SAT CLASS etc etc. I happen to think that the GATE program's a waste of time, and that the AP system is complete bull (I'm going apeshit trying to pull my classes together). The thing is I don't want my kid to be a couch potato and spend more than an hour a day just mashing buttons and blinking.
That article is just...ugh. Yeah, it cites University of Rochester's omigod I can spot 13 blocks on screen. How is that applicable to real life? Yes, there are certain problem-solving skills you learn when playing videogames. But they're hardly ever applicable. It's not like you can take what you learn to do in a videogame and apply it to other things; you only apply your problem solving ability. I happen to think that you can build skills like that through constructive work, without the need for flashy colors.
Maybe I was just a bit too harsh. Yeh, I'd let the kid play some videogames. I'm not some totalitarian freak crusading against videogames. But I'd seriously not let them play for more than an hour a day. I'd rather have them go OUTSIDE and play (...What....Out...side...what is this?)
EDIT:
And for the record, the only reason why Anurag spells like that is because he's Indian.

My parents actually wouldn't allow me to play video games at all when I was younger, and they bought me a Game Boy for my 9th birthday. All I can say is; if your kid seems to have an addictive personality at a young age, then don't let him play video games unless you give him a specific time to play them. I'll give you an example.
When I was growing up, my friend Kyle and I were really into video games. His mom only let him play for about an hour on weekdays and a maximum (he usually never hit the maximum) of 3 hours on weekends. I used to think his mom was the meanest person in the world for doing that to him, but later on, I realized what she was doing. My parents didn't do anything like that and now, Kyle's a manager at a restaurant, knows how to play the piano, drums, and skateboard, and his grades are amazing. He's graduating in December and his life is going great. He got a brand new Honda Accord because he's figured out his college stuff and when his parents got divorced it was decided his dad would pay for 4 years of his college, and he has a 1 year full ride, so his dad bought him a brand new car instead.
As for me, I'm struggling to even find a college that will accept me, and I doubt I'll be able to get into one, and I can't do any of the stuff Kyle can, and I think it's because I wasted my time doing the only thing in life that has no benefits at all to your real life: playing video games.
Ugh. That's not even what this topic is about, but basically, raise your kid without video games if possible. I really regret getting addicted to them. They're just as bad or worse than drugs in my opinion. Sorry GW if I offended you.
-
Seriously, I wish I had Kyle's parents. Maybe I would be doing better in school. Obviously, I can't blame VIDEOGAMES for everything, but when I was a kid I used to spend whole weeks gaming. Eventually, reality hits you hard. Grades drop, everyone's smarter than you now, and all the sudden you're swimming against the current. When I die, I want one of those cards that say what you've done with your life. "Congratulations, dumbass, you spend an entire 16 YEARS of your life glued to a TV screen." The entire thought just depresses me.
One of my friends went off to college, and he's studying mechanical engineering. He calls me, every day, about how much he's gotten better at Super Smash Bros. Brawl. That's all he talks about. That's all he does. And that's all he is. How can you defend that?
-
Guys. Let's stop bogging down Chani's special occasion with stuff about not playing video-games and stuff. This topic is about giving Chani some congratulations on her beautiful baby.
-
Yeah, you're right. And how she wants to take care of her child's really up to her. </angst>
Good luck with your child. Truly.
-
It looked like someone was screaming at the baby in the first two pics and it was scared shitless.
-
Ok so I finally uploaded the video of her crazy eyes... I put it on youtube, it's hilarious to me and I hope you like all 14 seconds of it.

is it okay???
-
Yeah she's totally fine, she just does it when she's sleeping... like opens her eyes and then rolls them. I don't know why she does it but she also crosses her eyes to make you laugh and then she smiles, I think she knows what she's doing and that it makes us laugh.
-
That is so cute and creepy and awesome at the same time.
