Lux Lex

Something bright on the longest night
I met this little guy--
Alexander Maria Fry
Yeah, another guy--
Number five.

That's a short bit of poultry for you. Not quite Shelley, but he was a vegetarian. Anyway, he was born this morning at 5:40am and weighed in at 7 pounds 10 ounces. Nineteen inches. Mom and baby are doing fine, sleeping, sleeping. The other four are over at our friends spreading their germs around. I'm strung out on adrenaline.

    I was told after our son was born that God sent a baby boy if He figured there wasn't enough man in the house already. Of course, the guy who told me that had 4 daughters & no sons.

    Congratulations!! What a wonderful Christmas for you and yours!

    My son Andrew was born on 12/20/2007. So we had just gotten done celebrating his 2nd birthday on Sunday night.

    My wife is already up and around, waiting on all the people (i.e., grandparents) who are supposed to be here to help out. If I had a tranquilizer gun I could possibly get her to take a short nap.

    That is a little... silly, maybe? I mean, I could gin up something stupid like that: "God sent you a bunch of little girls because you couldn't handle taken on some REAL MEN!! My son is 7-1/2 pounds and he could kick your sorry rear end. Aww, HELL YEAH!!"

    Cast iron pans, anyone?

    Har. Probably came to him from someone else w/all daughters.

    . . . besides, he sent a nice baby gift (even tho he was a lawyer on the other side of the transaction).

    Full disclosure: our son got a baby sister a couple years later. So he knows he tipped the scales at our house. ;-)
