After a very brief night of sleep (about 3 hours), Elizabeth started having contractions, strong enough for us to drive to the hospital. At around 5:18 EST our second daughter Kate Maciel was born!
There were some post-partum complications and Elizabeth lost a lot of blood, but the doctors seem to have things under control now.
Nothing can prepare you for the roller coaster of emotions one goes through when witnessing the birth of your child. Little Yv is the most excited, and keeps asking me: “Daddy, when can we bring her home?”
Today, the rPath and Ubuntu family has gained one more member! Just ask my Y2K (Yv and Kate) duo here!
Can you say “sleep deprived”?












Congratulations!
Congratulations to the family! What wonderful news!
Congratulations! And having done it 3 times, I have to totally agree that the birth of your child is a roller-coaster of emotions very difficult to explain unless you have experienced it.
Congratulations for your new daughter!
I’m sure she’ll be taking to the command line in no time.
Congratulations!
hope the mom is healthy
