    First, the good news, my wife and I have a new little passenger named Adelaine, or "Addie" for short! She's 6 lbs. 1 oz., 20 inches of cuteness!

    The bad news is that with side-curtain airbags, VSC, and traction control the Prius is the safer car, and my wife will take over as its primary driver as she carts our new baby around. *sigh*

    Hopefully we'll run our Honda Accord into the ground around the time the plug-in Prius arrives so we can trade it in and both share the Prius fun!

    Truly beautiful. Congratulations.

    Take lots of naps now and cover the Prius seats for later. You'll be surprised how far a baby can throw things.

    Though she looks too perfect to ever make a mess!

    Awhhh!! Beooteeful!

    I got arround the safety issue by buying the wife a brand shiny spanking new Gi-Normous Highlander Hybrid. Safe, somewhat efficient, and easier to lift car seats in and out of.

    Of course, it was also damn expensive, which can be tough when there's a new mouth to feed... Good luck, both with getting sleep and with someday getting the Prius back. :)

    Oh, she's already leaving us little messes every few hours! :lol:

    Thanks everyone! I've never been a dad before, so this is an amazing, albeit exausting experience for me!
