Uncle-age part 2 - updated with piccies

[dvandom]

Marah Carrigan Clark was born at 2:04 PM today, weighing in at 7 lbs 11 oz (2 oz lighter than I was at birth). Dark hair, pale skin, and the mandatory baby blue eyes (if the eyes end up being violet, I will be slightly creeped out, for reasons that should be apparent to people who play on CCMUX). Carrigan is my grandma's maiden name, BTW.

Now to start laying the groundwork for making my niece into a Transformers fan. :)

(Edit: Just got a phonecall from mom, it's Marah, not Mara as she'd earlier reported. So much for the Mara Jade jokes.)






Second pic is Marah with my sister and her husband.

Yay! Congrats to you and the fam!

You can buy her black-and-yellow striped ensembles and call her "Bumblebee"....

You know they sell Superbaby costumes, right...?

Gratz!

Also, yah. Would be creepy, so get her some violet contacts!

Congrats! As it happens, my wife and I went to our first prenatal appointment for our little one this afternoon.

Give Marah a little welcome into the world finger wiggle from me, and if you find anything that works on the "turning her into a Transformers fan" front, let me know, I'll be needing the pointers soonish :)

Fortunately, by the time they shut down the Warner Bros. Stores I'd accumulated sufficient photos of my nieces in Superbaby, Batbaby, and Robinbaby pjs (including the money shot of the older one as Batbaby and the younger one as Robin) that I've enough blackmail material once they hit adulthood to last me through a comfortable retirement.

But this Froogle page (http://www.google.com/froogle_cluster?pid=4778037398953179721&oid=15946658365346806658&btnG=Search+Froogle&scoring=mrd&q=Superman&lmode=online&addr=Mountain+View,+CA&sa=N&start=0) does have Superbaby and Batbaby bunting outfits.

Welcome to unclehood.

Congrats, Dave! When are you going to start integrating her into the world of TFs?
