Default Greatest day of my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, it is with great excitement that I tell all my great Rennlist family that we just welcomed our little boy into the world yesterday morning (Saturday the 20th).

He was 2.5 weeks early which is unusual for a first child but no biggie as he is considered term. He is very healthy and with great temperament.

Stats:
6lbs 2oz
20 inches
Born Oct 20th at 850am.

Labor was nice and short for my wife. From first contraction to delivery was just under 9 hours! She did fantastic and is doing extremely well and ready to go home. I am at the house right now getting everything done that we planned to do in the next two weeks

Can't wait to get him home and start this journey that many of y'all have told me that will change my life in a joyous way I could never imagine. I already feel an incredible amount of pride and joy. I can't imagine life get's any better than this.......well, maybe breaking 2:00 at VIR

Gotta run, time to get back to the hospital..............

After all the go-fast goodies you've amassed in the last year... getting your own Pit Crew was the next obvious step.

Congratulations!

Congratulations!! Can't remember what it was like when we had our first. :-( My "kids" are probably older than you.

You could be selected to be a Porsche factory driver and wouldn't experience the joy you are experiencing right now! Congrats for a healthy beautiful baby. Now the real fun begins!

Pretty soon he'll be asking for the car keys.

Congratulations Dell !!
A handsome young man!
Happy that things went well for the new mother as well ! About the only thing that might equal this event are grandbabies .

I hope grandparents are close by.

Congratulations to you and your wife! We just celebrated our (2nd) grandson's 1st birthday this week and each event gets more special.

And a great looking haircut on that son of yours!

We need to know young Dell's name (or the Renn-folks can help you find one if you're stuck ).
