Congrats!

> We went in at 4am on Saturday morning. My son was born at 9:40am. All are healthy and happy. Thank you all who posted. It made a difference in my mental state. I owe you all the drink of your choice. Now to attend to my snoozing son…can’t believe I just wrote that.

Hooray! Congratulations to you and your wife on your bundle of joy (and he really will be!)
