Congrats to Rich and Hallie Swerbinsky, proud parent of a new baby girl. Born at roughly 3:00 AM Sunday.

Mom and baby are both doing well.
Rich needs a beer.

Congrats Swerb, now starts the real work --- building a complete person. Best of Luck!

you mean babies don't come already assembled?

by **MadThinker88** » Sun May 04, 2008 2:38 pm

yes and no. They are assembled but not complete.

You are always looking for replacements and upgrades on the personality and mental aspects. Instillation is always problematic later on.

by **peeker643** » Sun May 04, 2008 2:40 pm

Congrats Rich and Hallie.

Good health to you and yours and God Bless.

so is there a baby waiver wire then
or can you like trade a 10 year old for two 5 year olds

by **MadThinker88** » Sun May 04, 2008 2:47 pm

Joint replacement is much later down the line :P :-P :razz:

No socially acceptable waiver or trade market (thankfully).

Can we now move on and get back to the kudos for Rich and Hallie???

seriously congrats to the Swerb clan
I can't imagine the joy you're all feeling now but I hope life with a newborn child only gets better for you

Now can the kid play 3rd base? We are desperate!

by **Guest** » Sun May 04, 2008 5:20 pm

Can't wait to see the beautiful girl.

by **Eckersley** » Sun May 04, 2008 9:44 pm

Congrats! Wishing good health for the baby & Mom.

Rich, teach her how to hit & rush her up the ladder. The Tribe needs a bat big time!

by **hermanfontenot** » Sun May 04, 2008 10:21 pm

Congrats to the entire Swerbinsky Nation.

by **Madre Hill, Superstar** » Sun May 04, 2008 10:33 pm

Congratulations!

3 in the morning, though? Well, that'll be the first of many...

by **jack_tors** » Sun May 04, 2008 11:18 pm

Congratulations on the new addition to your family Swerb! I wish you nothing but the best for your new baby!

by **hornet84** » Mon May 05, 2008 12:18 am

Just one ? Come on Rich you live in Twinsburg after all. Congratulations. I hope everyone is well. I expect to see a lot of late night postings from you. You will have no problem being awake for the West Coast games. I can't explain it, but having girls changes the way you look at life. At least it did for me. All the best Rich, Hallie, Nicholas and the baby girl to be named later.

by **consigliere** » Mon May 05, 2008 12:32 am

Congrats to Rich.

Now, we won't see him for awhile. #2 has a funny way of flipping your life upside ten fold compared to #1. :lol:

by **RattleHead** » Mon May 05, 2008 8:32 am

Congrats and all the best to your family!

by **swerb** » Mon May 05, 2008 8:47 am

Wild day yesterday, starting just before midnight Sat night.

But Chloe Lynn and mom are happy and healthy.

Congratulations Rich!! In honor of my profession and my fellow laundry plant mangers, please return all linen to the soiled linen containers upon leaving the hospital. :lol:

Jesus christ. Thing looks like you already.

Just kidding, congrats again on a beautiful baby girl. Will we hear further about your potency in the future?

by **TOTribeFan** » Mon May 05, 2008 1:16 pm

Can she hit? I know a team that is looking for a #3 hitter (and 2,5,6,7,8,9).... She could probably step right in....

Congrats...

by **Crash Davis** » Mon May 05, 2008 1:50 pm

Congrats Rich! Now your even busier but its well worth it.

by **bigyellowbud** » Mon May 05, 2008 2:14 pm

Congrats to Swerb and Mrs.!! I like the name too and what a cute little one you have. Best wishes!

Also....when can the TCF members expect our cigars??? We'd love to celebrate with you!!!!

by TD » Mon May 05, 2008 2:22 pm

by **KiltedFool** » Mon May 05, 2008 6:10 pm

Congratulations Rich, that's one beautiful little burrito you have there.

Enjoy the time with her that you're the king of the world before she becomes an eye-rolling teenager and you become almost too stupid to breathe.

And note that you and your wife have your daughter outnumbered, when the second one comes the two of them will have you guys outnumbered. It's exponential.

Dortmunder Gold, Yuengling Lager and whatever other libations appropriate all around.

There's a good Mark Twain line about this. I don't have it handy, but the paraphrase is, "My father was the biggest idiot in the world when I was 16. Now that I'm older, it's amazing how much smarter he's become."

Oh, they have a son (age two) already.

At least they can still play man-to-man: with a third, I have to play zone.

by **KiltedFool** » Mon May 05, 2008 6:20 pm

Ack, there's my ignorance again.

Call in reinforcements Swerb, you're way outnumbered.

At least she'll have a big brother who can be overprotective, start training him now.

by **StewieG** » Mon May 05, 2008 7:34 pm

Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Swerb!

by **mswerb** » Mon May 05, 2008 8:19 pm

Another Swerbinsky! Awesome, congrats on the great news.

by **KFletch** » Mon May 05, 2008 10:36 pm

Congrats on your beautiful baby girl!!

How is the big brother handling his duties?!!

by **buckeyehoppy** » Tue May 06, 2008 12:10 am

Swerb, you stud!!!

She's a little bowl of borscht. Cutie, too!!!

Now go get yourself a Founders Centennial IPA...buckeyehoppy's latest brew rave!!!

Congrats!!!

by **neoleo** » Tue May 06, 2008 1:42 pm

Congrats Swerb. It's about time!

by **Hi Oktane** » Tue May 06, 2008 3:07 pm

Title 9 welcomes its newest supporter, Mr. Richard Swerbinsky. Welcome aboard, Rich.

(She's a doll, btw.)

by **swerb** » Tue May 06, 2008 4:12 pm

Thank you everyone.

Feels good to be back home. Just in time for Cavs/Celtics game 1 and Tribe/Yanks tonight. The birth happens right in between the 1st and 2nd rds of the playoffs. Brilliant planning by me 9 months ago.

Look forward to taking in the games in front of the big screen with my new daughter. Similac for her, and some much needed Commodore Perry IPA for me. I may even drink it out of a bottle.

by **Steve Buffum** » Tue May 06, 2008 4:18 pm

I still think you missed the opportunity to go with Erica Wedge Swerbinsky.

Jamie Carol Swerbinsky would have worked too. :lol:

Congrats Swerb and God's richest blessings to your family!

3:00 AM!?!?! My firstborn came on a Saturday night in late October when the clocks got moved back for the time change. The Mrs. had to do the same hour of labor twice! Ugh!

Great timing. You got to see the 4th round picks of the Browns.
Didn't miss any Cavs playoff games.
And you might have missed two or three Indians games, but don't worry, you didn't miss any runs scored and only a coupla hits!!

Now pray that your young lady will start getting some sleep. Most people think a baby's naps are for the baby. Any parent will tell you otherwise!! God Bless!
