Gettin' Ziggy With It - Kaylin has arrived!!
She's finally here!!!
Kaylin Brooke Ziegler was born on Wednesday, October 24th, at 4:58 PM. She weighed 5 lbs, 7 oz. (yes, she's TINY!!) and was 18 and 1/2 inches long. Both Kaylin and her mama are doing very well - 100% healthy. They were able to leave the hospital together on Friday afternoon. We're extremely excited, extremely happy, and extremely tired, all at once! :) It's great being a daddy.
Also, I noticed that Blez mentioned that I had signed a minor league contract with the A's. I'm very happy with the contract, and I eagerly await the opportunity to try to make the big league team out of spring training.
Here are a few of the hundreds of pictures taken over the weekend of my newborn daughter...

Congratulations!
Hope to see you pitching in the green and gold in 2008, and maybe Kaylin will follow in your footsteps by 2032!
hey
AN ate my earlier comment!
CONGRATS to you and your wife, Brad! Kaylin is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!
Congrats, Ziggy ...
I think you might have just done something right.
Congratulations
in a couple years, she'll be running around the field on the annual A's wives' softball game!
Lots of great news in a slow time for an A's fan!
Congrats!
Congratulations, Ziggy!
This is so awesome. Buckle up because it goes so quickly. My daughter will be three in January and I'm betting that most ANers remember the day she was born!

Congratulations to you and your wife!
The picture of her in your glove is adorable
Wow, congrats on both accounts!
She's a beautiful baby, and congrats on the new contract too!
I love how nonchalant you Zieglers look before and after the birth. Just another day...

Great news!
Best thing in life, and you'll soon discover the true meaning of "tired."
gosh she's cute!
I LOVE the picture of her in the glove--that is going to be one she'll treasure throughout her life.
Congratulations!
Congratulations!
Thanks for sharing this with us, and I echo all above in wishing the best for you & your family and we hope to see you in the green & gold.
Cheers!
Congratulations Brad
That's awesome. She's darling. And I saw Urban mention your name on his mailbag column as a possibility for the pen next year. I along with the rest of AN are pulling hard for ya. Till then, enjoy fatherhood! All the best.
Kool!
And kudos on konforming with the klassic kode, that big league pitchers give their kids names beginning with K.
Kongrats!

I guess this proves you're starter material!
Or were you called-upon to provide relief?

Congrats!
Enjoy the off-season getting to know your little one!
Congratulations, Brad
And I hope to see you pitching at the Oakland Coliseum some time next year.
Hey, if you get a chance, would love to hear your take on the 2007 World Series, or at least what you might have gotten a chance to see. Do you think the lay-off affected the Rockies, or were the Red Sox just the better team? How do you feel when you see someone like Okijima pitch, or Josh Beckett?

Congrats, Proud Papa!
I absolutely LOVED the photo of the baby with the caption: My baby girl...
You have every right to be proud. She's adorable!
Great to hear baby and mama are doing well
Congratulations Brad!
Parenthood is rough but great.
Hope to get out to Spring Training again this year and meet you.
More congratulations from me, Brad!!
And everyone else is right -- she's beautiful!
Congrats on your beautiful baby girl!!!

Thanks for sharing it with us.
Aww how cute!
Congrats!
felicidades

YAY BERT...

May she always have great hair.
-Cindi
congrats!
Congrats on everything. Hope to see you and your family in Oakland soon!
She's a cutie...
she has a lot of hair for a newborn. Congrats to you and your wife. Is this the first grandchild for your parents?
They must be walking on air.
A first grandchild is so special and you know you won't ever want for sitters! Thanks for sharing pictures. I hope you keep doing it after April when you become the new go to guy on the A's. {smile}
Well, THAT's kind of personal.
Some might even say "controversial" (but I wouldn't). Just don't hurt yourself, okay?

She's beautiful -- and from the look of
some of those pix where she's in purple, a future submariner.
Way to go, Ziggy!
Baby girls are awesome, and I've got two. Well, they're not babies anymore.
Congrats to you and the wife. Did you feel your heart stretch to a size you didn't know was possible when you first saw your daughter? I remember that feeling well. You're going to love being a dad, and I bet you'll be a great one. She's too cute!
Good times!
Lots of late evenings ahead for you. First two months aren't bad....but by late January you'll be having difficulty keeping the gleam out of your eyes when you and the wife talk about ST.
I have three daughters who are just about grown and gone. The time passes so quickly and nowadays I contemplate Butterfly Kisses that seemed like yesterday.
The stakes just went up on that right arm of yours. Go get em.
Tickled Purple
WHAT A PRETTY GIRL!! Congrats!!
Save that glove....and show her when she's grown up how she started out in Dad's hand and then give her a big hug with that glove around her. AWESOME.
