He's arrived.

My son was born today. We have waited for him for a long time. I had all but given up hopes of having a child, let alone a son.

I have a son.

He came into this world by C-Section. He weighed in at 9 lbs 5 oz and 21.5 inches. Not a small child. I joked with his mommy that he's jumped right into the 3-6 month clothing completely bypassing "Newborn."

Right now, he's sleeping beside me in his mobile bassinett at the hospital. He's very handsome. His mom keeps calling him beautiful and I keep telling her that "beautiful" is for girls and "handsome" is for boys. She ignores me (and his grandma ignores me, too, for that matter).

If you follow this link, you'll see a few pictures of him. http://community.webshots.com/album/567101646DnJAED?vhost=community

That's it for now.

Cheers,
Bill
