Hello Everyone,

We had a BOY!!!! Our new baby was born on Saturday morning at 2:32am and weighed 7lbs 0 oz and was 20" long. He was a bit early (three weeks!) so we are still reeling trying to get everything together and figure out the logistics (like sleep). We have not chosen a name just yet, but it will be done very soon. After a very long Saturday everyone is doing well, both baby and mom. I will post some photos in the near future.


Mark

What's the mantra here...? Oh yeah, NO PICS DIDN'T HAPPEN!!!! (BTW, I'd advise DO NOT try this w/LOYL; not if you want to live)

Seriously, CONGRATS! Enjoy! And to your new son-

Congratulations, Mark!! 7lbs and 20" doesn't sound early to me - it was time!

I think you can kiss sleep goodbye for a while - NO POWER TOOLS while you're operating on 2.5 hrs of sleep!
