I am pleased to announce to the world that my wife, Stephanie, and I are now proud parents of a newborn baby girl! Her name is Eleanor "Ellie" Grey Mangus, and she was born 4/11/2011 at 4:48 PM. She came into the world an odd shade of purple, and in twenty-four hours has mutated into a little strawberry!
Seeing Ellie in my wife's arms fills my heart with pure love. I never dreamed in a million years I would someday be a dad, so Steph has given me the perfect little gift, and I will always love her for it.
I never thought I could be this exhausted and excited all at the same time! Must... find a way... to sleep now...

congratulations!
Give up on thinking about sleep, just get it right out of your system. 10 months later and I'm still waiting for it.
Congratulations though all the same and incomparable kinda thing.
She's beautiful! Congratulations!
Enjoy sleep while you can because it will be a little hard to come by in the coming months. But a big and heart-felt congratulations to and your wife. Welcome to parenthood.
Congratulations to both you and Stephanie, wonderful news. My oldest lad was a purple baby too. :-)
Yeah! Congratulations?
Sleep? Don't worry. Eventually you'll wake up on the floor in a pile of your own drool with people staring. At that point you'll know you've slept.
Well, that's how I did it after the big day, anyway. :)

Congratulations, dude. Congratulations.
Chello! My sincerest Congratz!
You did make sure your wife had food before you blogged this and collapsed, right? Right? ;)
I kid, I kid. :D
Congratulations.
As a Father of three I just want to say in just three or four years you all get to sleep a whole night each night for almost a week. ;-)
Congratulations, Shane! I'd offer you a congratulatory cigar, but I don't know a way to email one. :)
Heartiest congratulations!!
Wow! Congratulations! Eleanor Grey Mangus is a totally great name!
By the way, don't get your hopes up about the whole sleeping thing...
Welcome to hell! The next 3 months will teach you a new meaning of pain (and love too).
Before I had my first kid, I thought I knew what the word tired meant. I was wrong.
Best of luck, friend. You have taken the first step on a long long journey into the unknown.
Congratulations!

Congratulations! :-)
Congrats! Great news. :D
Congrats to you and your wife. Another little new, old schooler into our ranks.
Heartiest of congratulations from one dad to another! May your little girl be the light in your eye forever.
Nicely done, sir!
:)
Congratulations to both of you. Good news indeed!
Awesome! Congratulations!
Congratulations!
Congratulations! For about 2 months after my daughter was born, I walked around in a semi-zombie state. People would see me and comment on how terrible/tired I looked. I acquired the ability (which I have since lost) to fall asleep in a matter of seconds.
All this and more is explained in that book you ordered at my suggestion, "Be Prepared".
Congrats! So begins your biggest and most important adventure.
Congratulations! Eleanor was the alternative name we had for our son (if he had been a girl).
Congratulations ! Your life will change...for the better !
Congratulations, man.
Congratulations she is Beautiful! I hope all are doing well! Welcome to fatherhood!
That last line about sleep is something you will be saying for some time to come for the next little bit ;) Congrats, and job well done!
Congrats! They grow up very quick, enjoy these moments. :)
Congratulations! Fatherhood is indeed a wonderful thing. Enjoy.
Congratulations to you and your wife!
Congrats!
Congratulations to you all and welcome to the world, Ellie!
Congratulations! Enjoy the many happy days to come!
Congrats!
A Natural 20!
Belated congratulations!
