Re: Congratulations!
Chris, so did I!
Wow, did I miss the memo that said you were expecting?
Congratulations and well done to both of you, especially Mrs Hall.
A fine looking lad indeed.
Warm regards
Derek

Re: Congratulations!
Thanks! The pregnancy and recent birth have loomed large in the background - and now foreground - for me over the past several months. Family and close friends were aware of course, but I didn't want to say anything public until we were through the delivery.
Now i'm learning to be a dad, an old one to be sure, and it is certainly humbling and challenging. With at least some trepidation, I look forward to the days ahead. We had the usual issues with jaundice with our newborn, and seem to be on the good side of that situation now.

Congratulations Chris! I wish every child was born to such thoughtful parents. The world needs more good children, I have no doubt you are both up to the task.Chris Hall wrote:Thanks!

Re: Congratulations!
Chris I'm so happy for the three of you! I'm impressed by (and my wife is a bit jealous of) the speedy delivery. Thunderbolt indeed!

Re: Congratulations!
Thanks again!
The delivery was amazingly quick, and very moving to behold, but the placenta was more of a struggle to remove, and a process nearly as painful as the birth, from what my wife related. I got to snip the umbilical cord, which was kinda cool (and no, I didn't bring a special tool for that ).
Currently, I get sleep in 2~3 hour stretches at best, which I find hard. So, don't expect much in the way of lucid or intelligent commentary from me for the next while....

Re: Congratulations!
Otosan, you may have noticed some rather bizarre posts from me on occasion, this unique sleep schedule is partially to blame.
I think henry boy started sleeping through the night at about 3~ months IIRC.

Re: Congratulations!
Three months seems so very far right now.....
You know, I was half-expecting a follow up to the comment,

I threw that across the middle of the plate, left it sitting there, and, well, sometime you get away with it I guess.So, what else is new?
