Hey all! Got an email from Bluepony today. MrsPony has been successfully delivered of a healthy baby boy! Here’s the story, in Bluepony’s own words: > [@](#): > > Babypony #2, baby boy, (Joshua Timothy), arrived on station 7.01pm, 8 Aug 2000. This monster weighed in at 9 lbs, 5 oz and beat the epidural that my wife pleaded for, so she had a natural childbirth since this hoss just sped down the ol’ birth canal faster than the epidural could take effect! Babypony #2 basically charged into world as opposed to Kidpony #1, who just kinda took his sweet ass time and put momma into a 23-hour labor. This time it was a quick 4-hour deal and I didn’t even miss ESPN Sportscenter! I like this new kid’s sense of timing for Daddy. Everybody say YEAH! ---

::stupidly and untypically tears up:: Awww, that’s great. Ah, shit already, this is GREAT! Joshua Timothy got himself born to two tough, funny, high-minded, fine folks. Best wishes to the whole Blue family (pony, mare, colt, yearlings, I forget the rest.) Damned if it isn’t fine, just purely _fine_ when excellent things reward tough, good folks. Only know the Blue family from SD, but there just _isn’t_ a better reward than a new little life to bedevil, mystify, beguile and enchant great parents. Heartfelt congratulations to Mrs. and Mr. Blue, and hearty welcome to Joshua Timothy. Veb ---

Congrats on a healthy baby arriving speedy and safely into this mad mad mad world! Great name! Natural childbirth? ::::shudder:::::you mean she did it without make up on? (When it is time for the big vasectomy, Bluepony, I highly suggest you do it natural too. It is only fair.)
