Congrats on the new baby!

Douglas → www.iamnotdustin.com/

Our first was 5.5 weeks early, only a little heavier than Jack, in for 2 extra weeks, and on oxygen for 2 after that. Wires, lamps, and IV lines everywhere.

Haven’t been able to tell the difference since she was 6 months old. I have to look at the pics to even remember.

Jack’ll be great.

Congrats!

Edward J. S. Atkinson → www.theedwardwebsite.com

Very big congrats.

Joe Clark → joeclark.org/weblogs/

Mazel tov. I think the kid’s name has a lot o’ moxie and is a ready-made expletive (à la “Jesus, Mary and Joseph!”).

Sean Oelkers → www.marginalideas.com

Big congrats to all three of you! Our son showed up ten weeks early almost two years ago, so I can definitely empathize with everything you’re going through!

The hospital will grate on you. And yes, you’ll probably get your share of clueless comments along the lines of ‘get some sleep while you can’, as if anyone could ever truly relax while their child is in the hospital.

If it’s any comfort at all, this will likely be the most stressful experience you’ll ever have - but it will end! ;)

Heath Row → mediadiet.net

Dan, you’re going to be an awesome father. And Kerry’s going to be an awesome mother. What a strong name! Thanks for not making any jokes about Cederholm 2.0, shipping early, etc. ^_^ Best wishes! What a great gift.

Paul Lloyd → www.lloydyweb.org/

Marko → gotmarko.com

Congratulations!

Our first son was five weeks early and we were just as unprepared as could be. The time he spent in the NICU helped us with learning more about how to care for our little one. Make sure you ask lots and lots of questions of the nursing staff, they ‘ll probably be happy to help with just about anything you want to know.

#1 is 10 years old now, and is as tall as his mother and no one can tell he was early.

Dan Cederholm → www.simplebits.com

Wow. You guys are just awesome. Kerry and Jack thank you as well.

It’s been quite a week, but Jack’s improving each day. We’ve been essentially holding vigil at the hospital (now in Beverly) and it looks like he’ll be there for at least another week until he’s strong enough. It’s difficult not to have been able to bring him right home, having all those mental preparations thrown out the window. All that matters now is that he gets what he needs in order to come home.

Thanks for the all the well wishes from around the globe — it’s truly amazing!

Wow, what a wonderful Christmas present. As a father of three (20, 17 and 13), the birth of a child still amazes me. May you and your family have a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

You know Dan, if you needed more help in the office you could of just put an ad in the paper, or better yet sent me an email. Now I have to run to Borders and pick up extra copies of “Bulletproof Web Design” and “Web Standards Solutions” for the little guy. We wouldn’t want him designing with tables now would we?

All kidding aside Dan, congrats to you and to your wife.

Mr. Dan Dad,
Congratulations to you and Kerry - hope you’re having a merry christmas and wish you all a happy new year – you may not believe I’m commenting on Christmas Day and neither do I!

Tom Jolliffe → majestyc.net

I’m a bit late I know, but huge congratulations to you and Kerry!

What more can I say, the wonder of life always leaves me speechless :)

Damian

Congratulations!
Don’t worry, he’ll do fine.
Oh, boy!, your life’s gonna change, you’ll see…
The first month at home’s the worst, but remember, it won’t last forever. Keep cool, eventually you’ll have some sleep and finally you’ll be a happy family.
Just forget your past life, welcome to the new one!

Stephane Deschamps → www.nota-bene.org/

I’m more than a bit late, but I couldn’t pass on that.

Congratulations Dan, and mark my words: emotion-wise, it’s only the beginning.

Fifteen months already for us, and it’s still a blessing every day. We can’t believe how ecstatic the whole thing is.

(and in case anyone’s wondering, of course we hate getting up in the middle of the night, but those little beasts have a way of smiling in the morning that erases any nightly trial…)

Congrats Dan - Thanks also for the icons and the two books - finished reading through bullet-proof the other day, yet to start on the other. Great read.

Congrats & welcome to the greatest joy you will ever know!!!

Our first son (of three) was four weeks early and weighed only 5 lb., 10 oz. His skin literally hung on him and he looked oh-so-fragile. Now, just 14 years later, he’s 6’2”, 175 lbs., and has size 15 feet. So much for the fragile part :-)

Congratulations!

Gary → www.webdesigngoldmine.com

Congratulations Dan!

Again our little boy, Alex was born three weeks early and weighed 5lb 11oz. He’s fast approaching his first birthday now and has been back up to a normal weight for many months. It won’t be long till Jack’s back up to a healthy weight as well.

Ryan → ke1ragh01

Jeff → brightwhite.ca

These things never seem to go as you have planned. Our first arrived a week late and after 24 hours of hard labour required an emergency c-section to deliver. But, OMG, is she ever worth it.

Congratulations on your beautiful baby boy.

Have fun!

Congratulations Dan.

If you are at all as good at parenting as you are pixel pushing we should have the next president on hand.

I am proud to be comment #317..

Cheers man.

We just celebrated Ariana’s 1st Birthday/Christmas - she too was early (5 weeks)… Apparently she didn’t want to miss Christmas so she showed up on the 25th of December 2004… Now she’s a little rug rat - scooting all over the place - don’t know what I’m going to to when she starts walking…

Your coming year will fly by and will be filled with the most incredible experiences - BTW, nap when he does - trust me…

Tim Hill

congrats! give him a soccer ball for his birthday, he’ll be a star in no time

Dan,

My daughter did the same thing (came out early) and had us worried for a moth as she lay in the ICU. Six years later, there is no keeping up with her!

Congrats and stand by… your life has been irrevocably changed :)

It was nearly 10 years ago that I first became a parent. What a deep, humbling, and transformative experience it’s been.

While you’ve begun your journey into parenthood with more than a few complications, it’s clear that you, Kerry, and Jack are in good hands.

I wish you the best.

Congratulations!

As a parent of a 3lb premmie(3 months early) I know the heart wrenching u must endour. Be strong and brave. Bond with ur child, ensure their place on this earth and all will be as it is meant to be, and u will come out of it a better person. My premmie is now 16 years old and doing fine. Don’t dwell, just react. all the best to u and ur wife.

Charity → www.feistyred.com

Congratulations on your new arrival! I know first-hand how scary it is to have a preemie. My son decided to come 5 weeks early and was also under 5 pounds. He spent his first 12 days in the neo-natal intensive care unit because of an open duct between his heart and lungs. Now he’s a wonderfully precocious 6yr old and I can never shut him up! :) Many blessings to you and your family. This too shall pass.

Congratulations!

We got our little 4-week-early preemie last June, 2005, and although he’s a little smaller than average, he’s doing great. A quick search through the comments revealed the one word missing to describe your new baby. The one word my Grandmother used when my son was born: Miracle.
