Little Gb is here ping.

He is absolutely awesome. He has a strong eyes, long fingers, beefy arms, sleeps after he eats, looks around while he eats, and articulates quite furiously when he is ready to eat.

We are totally enthralled with him. But, given she is basically hostage to feeding him all the time, I have to go cook, again, now...., and we have visitors, again, soon...and the house is a mess, ....

But thanks again to all...

Congrats on your blessed event! Don't worry about your messy house. People are very forgiving at this point. ;-)

Congratulations to you, your wife, and son. I couldn't be more thrilled if I had a new baby myself! (Stay tuned until about Feb. 10, 2006 ...)

As my father used to say about night carrier landings, "Any landing you walk away from is a perfect landing!" Your baby is here and healthy, your wife is in one piece, and your life will never be the same.

Figuratively setting off fireworks for you!

Cy the Tax-chick.

Not officially confirmed, but all the indicators are there (including an appetite like an elephant). I need to call my Weight Watchers leader and tell her I'm going on leave-of-absence.

Easy for you to say ... you're not nauseous :-). No, really, we're thrilled - we wanted another before I'm 40, and for a while it seemed Der Prinz had (oh, you know what I mean.)

I have the phone number for a new OB practice. I wasn't thrilled with the last one - reminded me of the Air Force hospital a little too much. I think some of the doctors were ex-military :-).

When my wife was finally given Pitocin, the incompetent nurse missed the vein in her hand, though none of us knew it, because her hand was under the sheet. After awhile, when the Pitocin wasn't working, they increased the drip-rate, but still we had no improvement in her contractions. After a long time she complained her hand was sore and we pulled it out from under the sheet to find it had swelled from all that Pitocin to softball size!

With that corrected, labor proceeded rapidly. I still kid that now-25 year-old that her goofiness is traceable back to this--and the earlier sonogram, which was still experimental then.

I've been on a whole program since last year :-) Folic acid, b vitamins,etc. goat cheeses and dandelion greens. LOTS of exercise. I have to lose my fat belly before I get pregnant otherwise it'll never go away.
