This morning, after 23 hours of labor, my wife delivered our first child: he's 7 lbs, 9 oz and 21 inches long. He's got big paws, just like his old man.

We're very excited, and very tired.

If you get a chance, smoke a cigar and tip back a nice beverage of your choice - on me (virtually, of course!)

Ciao

Congratulations!

Now go get some well-deserved rest

Let me get that into units I can understand.
So that's 3430 gramm and 53 cm.
Good size.

Congrats to your first one!

At least it didn't last for a whole day.

Yeah, that was MY reaction.

Thanks for the offer of a virtual cigar; I'll take the bubblegum variety.

23 hours. Wow. DyerPuppy needs to vote in the procrastination thread, as soon as he gets around to it.

Congradulations. My cousin was born on the day Endeavour landed, and I suggested it be his middle name, as I had been intensely praying for the safety of both, but no dice.

Pfft. My daughter took longer.

Congratulations, though. Rest while you can; you won't be getting much any time soon, I'm sure.

After 24 hours I asked my wife if she is pleased with the room.
Otherwise I could use the time and get some paint and give it a different colour.
