My New Obsession

[berninga87]

It's not smoking!...that's now an old obsession, but still an obsession. I am the proud new father of a 6lb12oz baby girl born March 16, 2012! I know a lot of you have kids already, but she is my first, and it is truly amazing and wonderful becoming a father for the first time. It's something you can have described to you a million times over but only really understand it when it happens to you. I couldn't be happier

Persephone Olivia (Persi for short)

Congrats! I had my first 18 months ago. At 42 years old I wondered if it was ever going to happen.

Congrats,,, Does her name mean something, or how did you come up with such a unusual name?

 

[alelover]

Congrats on the new addition. I think I know where the name came from. Are you a Law & Order:SVU fan by chance?

 

[berninga87]

Thanks everyone! The name is from Greek mythology, Persephone is the goddess of spring. We found it randomly one day and thought the meaning was appropriate given the time of year. I dont watch a lot of TV, is there someone by that name on Law & Order? 

 

[rbranstner]

Congrats man. I will know what you are feeling in about a month as my wife and I are expecting our first born in early May. Best of luck to you and your family.
