Madeleine Erica Wilson

March 31, 2007 – 9:09 am

Our first child, Madeleine Erica Wilson, came into the world at half past midnight on Saturday, March 31. She’s a redhead, just like her mom, and has one, two, or ten of all appropriate body parts. We’re very happy — exhausted, but happy. May she love her life as much as we love her.

Madeleine and Sadie, March 31

    Does this mean the term ‘gregling’ for 49xers will need to be modified to connote lack of biological relation, so as not to confuse with the introduction of a first order gregling?

    By Stephen Rumble on Mar 31, 2007

    By Andrew Reynolds on Apr 4, 2007

  87. Gregory and Sadie. This is a scolding.
    Okay, first of all, huge congratulations of course.
    But now to the scolding: Whatever happened to me being your favourite neice (Greg)? Or maybe even favourite neice/nephew? … or did I loose that title as soon as I started speaking up and being cheeky with you? BECAUSE…you TOTALLY could have named her Madeleine (which I love, and appreciate you using the french spelling) EMILY Wilson, instead of Erica. Because then you’d still get the MEW thing, and you’d have part of the Wilson side in the name (the last name doesn’t count), and I would love you even more because it’s MY middle name too. And I checked, there’s no rule saying you can’t have two children in the family with the same middle name. So THERE.
    I wish I could come and visit my new red-headed cousin, but they insist on keeping me in this …um…ok, i’ll be polite and stick with “hospital”, for a while longer.
    All of my love to my new Toronto family. Sadie, I’m truly glad you’re doing well.

    Loves,
    Allie.

    already has the finger dexterity to use emacs. Oh no. :-)

  91. Congratulations both, and well done Sadie! Madelaine is beautiful.
    As you now know, this is the most wondrous and scary thing you have ever done! I hope she sleeps, but even if she doesn’t it won’t matter..all kids do by the time they get to college :)
