Ahhh, Beanie , that is wonderful. I know you’ve been waiting for this and it was all the talk last weekend (besides Spider Man, of course).
I’ll call Acrylic Vessel at home in a moment to give her the news. We should have a get-together so you mommies can continue your lengthy discourses. I hope all our talks in the past help you guys out!
Good luck!

Best news I’ve read all day. Congrats to all and sundry, and a big welcome-to-Earth to the BeanSprout.

Well! I didn’t know she had it in her!
Congrats and welcome from a fellow Mother’s Day baby! (Psst, Arthur, it helps save on the long distance bills once you grow up … don’t bother calling Mom, she’ll call you.)
Wonderful news! Congrats all around!!
Congratulations!!! Snuggle the little Sprout for me.
Congratulations!
For fun, some thoughts on birth:
Children are born true scientists. They spontaneously experiment and experience and reexperience again. They select, combine, and test, seeking to find order in their experiences - “which is the mostest? which is the leastest?” They smell, taste, bite, and touch-test for hardness, softness, springiness, roughness, smoothness, coldness, warmness: the heft, shake, punch, squeeze, push, crush, rub, and try to pull things apart.
R. Buckminster Fuller (1895 - 1983)
The world began when I was born and the world is mine to win
Badger Clark
When I was born I was so surprised I didn’t talk for a year and a half.
Gracie Allen (1906 - 1964)
Men are born to succeed, not fail.
Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)
Men are born with two eyes, but only one tongue, in order that they should see twice as much as they say.
Charles Caleb Colton
To my embarrassment I was born in bed with a lady.
Wilson Mizner (1876 - 1933)
Any way, best of luck to you and the newest littlest doper. The fight against ignorance is going to need all the soldiers we can get.
