Congratulations! Give Mrs. C a big hug from me, okay? Birthin’ babies is hard work! Give lil’ C a big smooch on the forehead from me, too. Remember this day always; it’s what keeps you from strangling them when they are five going on 15. 🙂 ---

(the following is a post by LittleTot, who is insisting that I let him post.) Mr. Cynical, how did the baby get inside? Congratulations on getting the baby. That’s all. Love, Nicholas Care to field this one? It’ll be good practice! 🙂 BTW, I have tried to explain the proper method but he doesn’t believe me. ---

There once was a user named Cynical Whose barbs, it was said, reached a pinnacle. His wife popped a kid As so many have did Now there’s something here somewhat problynical. This person’s supposed to be witty Free-wheeling; he’s no Walter Mitty We should give up the ghost 'Cause how’s he gonna post While he’s watching his new son suck titty? This isn’t too much of a poem Don’t work it through with fine-toothed comb. He will come back; we’ll belch We’ll scream “SQUICK!” likewise, “FELCH!” And he’ll soon feel right back at home. It sucks, spur of the moment and all that, apologies to Edward Lear and Ogden Nash, and mad congrats. 🙂 ---

Yeah!!! Congrats, Cyn! When do we get to see pictures of your [FrenchDudeFromHolyGrail] little Cyyyyyyyyynigit? [/FrenchDudeFromHolyGrail] Avoid dropping Jake, I know they squirm, but they’ll remember it later on. And yea Mrs. Cyn! Babies are such happy creatures. (except at 3 AM. Then they’re possessed. But I digress…) ps: my mom didn’t use an epidural for me, and has held it over my head my entire life. “You were the first and last one not to have been drugged. Apprechiate it.” 😃 ---

Congratulations to you all! Pamper Mrs. Cynical - she needs to just lie in bed for at least a week to recoup. And remember she’ll be moving pretty slow for a while - so you get to be the sprinter when Cynical Jr. cries. Your lives are forever changed. 🙂 My son was born 8 months ago - seems like just yesterday I was in L&D. They grow so quickly - cherish every minute (even the waking every 2 hours at night). -h\_thur and h\_thur jr.
