Have a cigar

UPDATE 12/10/05, 8:46pm -------------

Make that 8lbs, 12oz. KOM's brain no worky goody after a day or two without sleep.

I'd also like to share a brief anecdote. The nurse who left the OR to share the news with our remaining family members was actually asked about the hair color, not the sex of the new arrival.

Robyn and I are Golden in the eyes of both sets of grandparents for providing the first red-headed grandchild. I guess everyone was wondering if lightning would strike twice.

The nurse said, and I verified with the family so that I may quote, "It's a sort of a non-descript brown color - like his father's beard."

In case any of you were wondering, my beard is beautiful, thank you very much.

--------------------------- 8:56pm


You can all start ignoring the baby countdown on Robyn's blog - our family has grown by 1/3 today.

2:10am - Baby boy, 20", 9 8lbs, 12oz.

That's 9 8 and 3/4 pounds three weeks early

Mommy and baby are doing great. I'm with little man until he wakes up, then it's back to the hospital to meet his little brother.

Don't anybody write anything interesting for a couple weeks - I don't know if I'm going to be able to keep up with the blogging for a while.

Big Congrats on Mr. Man Jr. Edition!

I tried to leave a note earlier, but it crashed my browser. And so I thought "It's a sign!" And promptly went wandering off somewhere.

Hope all is well, and that you're ramping up for a little less sleep than you've been having up to this point.

Tell Robyn congratulations and "Job well done!"

Congrats on doing your duty and increasing the smart population on the planet. Have about 100 and then you can rest.

Hey, I'm super-duper late on this, but congrats! :)

I need to stop whining about being busy... I only have the one 35 year old kid to care for. He's probably a bit easier than two little ones. ;)
