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.

Congratulations!
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?
Congrats Sadie and Greg!
May the best things in Madeleine’s life be the worst things she’ll have to deal with!
Congratulations on your new bundle of joy!
Congratulations Greg and Sadie!
Congratulations!!!
Congratulations,
Congratulations to the both of you. We’re very happy for you. Enjoy your new role as parents – there’s nothing like it.

Enjoy you’re rest now that the hard part is done (heh heh!)
Bringing up the rear, (soon we’ll have a ball team!)

The baby looks beautiful, as does the mother. Why doesn’t Madeleine have a funny shaped head just a few hours after labour like my babies? I wish you lots of joy…and lots of sleep!

Greg -
Congrats to you and Sadie! Have you got her programming yet?
- Jay
Congratulations!! What a cute baby she is!!! Looking at her, it is impossible for me to be mad about you cutting our classes. =D
Congratulations Mom and Dad! Now, you are equipped to experience the effect of “the smile” that will make ANY situation much brighter (even if it already is)! We wish you all the best and happiness!
- Denis, Denise & Denielle
Laura and I are so happy for the both of you, congratulations!!
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.
Congratulations to you both! What a cutie.
She is *so* sweet. Many congratulations to you all!

Congratulations, Madeleine, Sadie and Greg.
If I CSI-enhance the photos enough, I think I can see that Madeleine
already has the finger dexterity to use emacs. Oh no.
All the best from Kim, Diane, and Paul.
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
Presently just finishing off the first Disney trip……just wait……
Ax
Oh my goodness – what great news! Congratulations, Greg & Sadie on the arrival of your lovely little girl. As I’m sure you’ve already heard from many, it is the most rewarding thing that you’ll ever do in life…and the most difficult job at the same time. Welcome to parenthood – enjoy every second!
Hugs,
Cindy & Dominique
