As some of you may recall, my wife and I have been soliciting advice, etc, regarding the pending birth of our baby and various pregnancy and labor related details. The blessed event has come to pass, and a hugely wonderful bonding experience the birth was, and the little bundle of joy has been lighting up our lives and our nights with love, laughter, the occasional soul-shattering terror, and a general happy contentment that is one of the better drugs available to the public. So, it is with great pleasure and glorious joy that I present to you… [Maya Rose](http://s513.photobucket.com/albums/t340/gurujulp/Snapbucket/)! You will see her referred to in the future either as some variation on **wonderous secondchild** , or possibly the username **fisheyes**. Thank you, all, and good evening to you, and happy New Year! I shall now again retire to bask in her beatitude, should you be looking for me. It is my common pastime these days… ---

Um- not sure what happened, but that link is subtly wrong - the better one is [here](http://s513.photobucket.com/albums/t340/gurujulp/Snapbucket/Maya%20Rose%20Meenakshi/), although that first will get you to an upper folder, and then you need to click the Maya Rose folder for a few snaps… ---
