So I am going to be out of commision for the next few days. Why? Because my family just grew from three members to four. Our daughter Anna was born last night here in Tartu on Toomemägi. What can I say? My wife Epp is very brave and she did a splendid job of handling this gigantic challenge of bringing another human being into the world.Child is very cute and rosy and is crying sometimes because she was pushed out of her warm, moist little fetal swamp into the cold light of the real world. Most notably, this set of events occurred 33 years ago before to the day in Viljandi when Epp's mother, Aime, gave birth to her. That is right, our new daughter was born on her mother's birthday. This should make for very fun summer birthday parties in happy years to come.

Congratulations! =)
Population growth is always a nice thing to hear about in Estonia. Usually when those slippery and tanned foreigners manage to grab Estonian women they move to a different country and the females and their children are lost to Estonia forever, I know it's absolutely none of my business, but every time I hear about a situation like that it always irritates me a bit. I'm glad you stayed and decided to help repopulate Estonia. =]
Palju õnne tervele perele :)
Oo kui vahva, et samal päeval sündis, ja selline ilus kuupäev ka. Loodan, et kõik on hästi. Palju õnne ja musisid!

I would also point out, Giustino, that yesterday was also the 38th "Moon Day," which us scientific types toasted with beer last night in Tallinn.
An auspicious day, indeed.
palju õnne!
Congrats!
Congrats indeed, Epp & G! Savour these days. (And savour sleep.)
Palju õnne!!!! Sa oled ka väga tubli, nii noor ja sul on juba kaks ilusaid tütreid! Congrats!
I have long suspected that the difference between two and one is bigger than the difference between one and none -- not there yet myself, but expect to meet the chalenge at some point too. Many happy returns, and hope to pick up more wisdom along the way -- seriously, great stuff on parenting in your other blog.
Palju õnne! Millal Anna blogi alustate? :)
Congratulations, now you have two reasons to remember that date :)
Palju õnne!
Tuhat ja üks Õnnitlused ...!!!

Congrats to you, Anna, Epp and big sister :).I feel myself that I´ve done my part on that already--but never say never of course.
My daugther turned 3,5years yesterday and proudly informed everyone about that who happened to pass us by on the beach so our firstborn son who will turn 6 in couple of months was bored almost to death about that :).
Palju õnne and all the best for you and your new family :)

The Estonian birth-rate is only 1.5 - on to number 3 now! Worth reading this excellent site for more info to see the importance of a sustainable birth-rate and it's importance to society and the economy.

Great to see a new generation of Estonian speakers from a mixed marriage. Estonian is modern, multi-ethnic language!
Excellent news. I have three children - it's busy but interesting and a lot of fun. Best thing I ever did!
I see that the kid can already walk! Next thing you know, it's time to hand over the car keys.
Like they say - talented parents have talented children.
Palju õnne!
