Emily Marie Wright was born at 4:38 a.m. on 8/9/03. Only 5lbs 5.7oz, but healthy and happy.

In terms of Isuzu content ... starting next Spring I'm going to have to put the rear seat back in so I have a place for the baby seat. Gotta give her a place to ride during Moabzu.

With he diminutive size I'm also thinking she will be great when it's time to put on new CV boots in a year or so. No need to put the car on a lift, the CV's will be at the perfect height for her. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />

Sorry, but, I couldn't help but look at the picture and go AWE!!!! She's very precious, and probably already has you wrapped around her tiny little finger, congrats!!! Hope Mom and baby are doing good, and the plans for the rear seat is right on the money, always involve your kids, in everything you can, I try to, and I'm glad I do it, and also, treasure every moment you can, they grow up quick!!! Again, congrats!!! Dave <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Hooray for you Steve. She looks great. Now remember as you sing her to sleep "righty-tightly, lefty-loosey, Isuzus are metric and greasy means fun...". <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Wow... TWO new additions to the Isuzu Community!
If I have my math right, that must have been some New Years Eve party! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Congratulations Steve! --- She's beautiful!

Congrats, Steve! Share that with Terry, as well.

Hmmmm.... that's an aspect I hadn't considered. All these years I'd joked about double-jointed midgets to help reach stuff in the engine compartment... Start working with Em on flexibility! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Randii

Congrats, what a cutie!

Congrats on the new addition Steve!!

Wow, I had just responded to the other new baby post when I saw this one. Congratulations. I presume she's your first. Being a daddy is the best thing in the world. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/baby.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Just curious, but I have heard that babies born at high altitudes tend to have lower birth weights. Is there any truth to that? I heard it from somebody who used to live in Breckenridge.

Obviously she has your wife's looks...
I've never seen a Zuzoid that looks that cute <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

Both statements are definitely true. Only been a daddy for 3 weeks now, but it sure seems like a good thing so far!

Babies born at very high altitudes, like better than 8,000 feet, tend to be very much smaller. Leadville, Colo, for instance, at 10,000 feet has very low average birthweight babies and -- unfortunately -- a slightly higher mortality rate. Enough so that many women choose to carry out their pregnancies at lower altitude.

Denver is only a mile high, though, and baby weights are only slightly less than national average. Emily was at the bottom of "normal" range, but she was within normal range for Denver.

In terms of other comments ...

Let's HOPE she doesn't get my looks. Bad enough to pass these looks (very similar to <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" /> )on to a boy, much less a girl.

And yes, Randii, I'm thinking that 3 - 7 years old will be prime years to help me wrench. If I can just hold out a couple of seasons, maybe she can change out that #%!! heater core for me <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> .
