**Ellen Cherry** has given birth. Trasimond Stanton Soileau arrived yesterday morning at 8:27. He is a whopper at 9 lbs. 7 oz. . Mama, baby and Daddy are all fine, as are the big sister and brother. ---

> [@Nightwatch Trailer](#): > > Congratulations! So when are you signing him up for the Boards? Gotta start early! > > ::Waiting for **impunha** :: The Admins. decide this sort of stuff on a case-by-case basis, but if they follow the precedent set by **Bomb Bay Doors** , the now-2-year-old son of **Airman Doors USAF** and **Ms Robin** , the parents will be permitted to create Trasimond a screen name and compose one post for him, to this thread thanking people for their comments, then the name will be locked off until he turns 13 and requests it be reactivated (assuming he wants to). I suggest **Master Cherry Twig** as the logical name. In any case, congratulations to the proud parents!! (And yeah, I wanna see baby pictures too!) ---
