Yay! Wonderful news! Say, are they in San Antonio now? If so, what hospital? I’d love to go visit and say hi to the newest Doper. Hugs for Mom and Pop too, of course. Email me, please, if you don’t want to post that info on here. ::bouncing up and down:: I hope I hope I hope they’re here… 😃 ---

Great!!! The last few near-100 degree days with 70 percent humidity in San Antonio probably have been hell on Robin. Congrats to everyone involved. ---

I read in Gingy’s journal: > [@](#): > > Baby Aaron C… was born today at 4:12 pm Central Daylight Time. Congratulations, Robin and Dave! Yay! BTW, I took out the last name because I didn’t feel it would be good to post it here without the approval of the new mom and dad. Congratulations MsRobyn and Airman!!! That is great news! ---

Hey, that is terrfic news! While he was being born, I was playing with the kids I’ve grown to know and love at church, so I guess that might be kind of fitting. Congratulations to Dave and Robin! May the world weclome Aaron as we have. 🙂 F\_X ---

As you already know, Aaron was born today, and I must say, he is the quietest little bugger on the planet. Hard to believe, those of you who know me and Robin, but there it is. He barely even chirped after the initial Where-the-hell-am-I crying. I’ve already been assigned to diaper duty, and he’s already taken two monstrous doompahs that I have dutifully taken care of. I also witnessed the birth first-hand from the business end, so I guess that’s proof positive that I’m both over my queasiness and well-adjusted. 🙂 As for pictures, I regret to announce that I have none to give you just yet, but you can be certain that they are coming, just as soon as I can get them to you. He is the cutest little thing alive, and I get a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye every time I see him. I am swollen with pride because of my son and my wife, the two people I hold most dear in my life. This has been a joyous day for us, and I’m glad you could all be here to share it with us. On behalf of myself, Robin, and Aaron, thank you all very much. 🙂 -Dave ---

Yay! Welcome to the world, Aaron! You have two crazy Doper parents, so get ready! 😉 So, can I attend the bris? I’m thinking catering. Cocktail weenies. 😃 Sometimes I wish I had kids, believe it or not… ---

Congratulations, kids! (Nice to know that Aaron’s bound to have an edge of the general population, even if the Straight Dope gene is recessive.) Ah, diaper doodies… two down, approximately six-thousand, two-hundred, and ninety-eight to go. Hurry up with those pics! (Not of the diapers, ya wierdo…) ---
