Do the dance of joy!

Feb 6 2004

As commanded, the Huntsville geeken shall do the dance of joy today: Elijah Clark Granade 7 lbs., 5 oz. Born oh, right around an hour ago - 8:13 a.m. Central time. No photos yet. Something about the parents wanting time to spend with their newfound kidlet before just handing him over to the local geeks. (Who knew? Picky, picky.) Congratulations to a couple of folks who are going to be most excellent parents (and Misty, who was essentially already a second mother to most of the Huntsvegas geekenry anyway)….and to Andrew, my old, old friend, who has been waiting for a niece or nephew to spoil for a long, long time now. Guess he'll just have to come visit. Update, 7:25 p.m.: Does he look like Winston Churchill? You be the judge.

I'm still without email, so this is how I found out ... but I just had this feeling this morning when I woke up that he was about to be born. Today is a very good day.

Well, Misty emailed her Sprout Updates list late last night to say she was in labor, so it wasn't exactly a surprise. ;)

You missed the part that said I was without email ... my server spontaneously combusted around noon yesterday, so if you hadn't posted, I'd have been clueless.

Welcome to a totally new world. It's a great place to be :) Congratulations and Stephen...don't worry he isn't fragile. If you have any questions...feel free to contact me. Oh...and a bit of advice. The hospital is going to give you a lot of things like bottles of formula, diapers etc in the bassonet in the room. EMPTY IT...everytime they bring it back. Keep emptying it. That stuff is a lifesaver. Its easy and convenient and less stuff that you will have to purchase/get.

Thanks to all for your well-wishes, visits, phone calls, and so much more. We couldn't do it without you, and wouldn't be able to keep going without the love and support. Jody, you should know I'm a born pack-rat. By the time we came home I'd scammed a good two packs of diapers, some ten instant ice-packs for Misty, alcohol swabs by the handsful, and baby soap. Excellent advice. :)
