After reading **Diosa’s** [thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=399007) I felt like announcing the birth of my son. He was born on November 16, 2006 and is 3 weeks old today. He was actually due on Nov. 28 but my wife was induced to try to prevent shoulder dystocia which happened with my daughter. It didn’t help, he still came out at 8 lbs 11oz and had the shoulder dystocia. It was a scary labor and delivery but everything worked out OK.

I haven’t added any pictures over the last couple weeks and need to. He’s starting to look more like a cute infant than a squirmy baby. It also seems like he’ll have matching strawberry birth marks to my daughter even though no one else in our family has it.

He still hasn’t figured out he’s supposed to sleep during the night, not the day and is permanently attached to my wife for the remainder of the day. He’s a hungry little guy.

Your second link goes to **Diosa** ’s thread, you might need to fix it ☹
