Hi, everyone,
Just to let you know that today I became a father for the second time. Yup, somewhere in the world there is some poor deluded woman willing to bear Mal’s offspring. Read and weep!
Mother and baby are both doing pretty damn fine.

Congratulations!
Well?
D’ya reckon you might be able to give us just a couple more details? 
Congrats though to all of the Malacandra Family, and I hope everything continues to go well for you.
Okay. This is Son #2. Son #1 is 4 1/2 and thrilled to pieces. Son #2 was born 09:53 UK time by elective Caesarean with no complications. (He peed everywhere as he was being yanked out but that doesn’t count as a complication.)
He’s now tucked in for the night, as is Mrs M who is receiving just the standard post-op care, hooked up to various drips, drains and catheters and is as comfortable as you get under such circumstances. I expect the drugs help.
All being well they are both due home Sunday midday.
Aww, come on, weight, lenght… details man, details!
Congratulations! Wonderful news. However; DETAILS!! GIVE!! SD, kambuckta, this is why we women keep the baby books.
Congratulations to you and Mrs. M, Mal.
Congrats!
Does baby have a weight and lenght? All ten fingers and toes??
Take care of your wife, she just gave you the best gift ever.
Aww nuts, I had some nice gene pool jokes too!
Hey, congrats Malacandra.
Weight 7lb 9oz, length ?? (haven’t measured him), a smidge of dark hair, hasn’t opened his eyes much yet. All the usual fingers and toes, he seems to like having his feet stroked and has had a creditable go at working out how Mummy’s nipples work.
Hey, I need no urging to take care of my wife. For a curmudgeonly old sod I’m really quite supportive 
Congratulations! hands Malacandra a cigar
