well it's because I have been polluting the gene pool with boy :-)

born yesterday at 7:10 pm. His name is Ifor Kenneth Jones and he weighed 6lb 2 oz. The Ifor for you non welshies is pronouced "Ivor" and Kenneth is after my dad.

Unfortunately the other half had a very long labour of about 50 hours before the doctor there called a crash c section. Essentially they lost his hearbeat and all hell broke loose. It took 90 seconds from a labour room to an operating table, I never ever want to go through that again but I can safely say that the NHS is the most glorious thing out there.

If anyone fancies designing a logo with a skulk and "when I grow up I am going to beat my daddy at natural selection", I'll get it printed on a babygroe <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

    Hehe, you can clearly see that the birth was rather long (elongated head). Well, what is more to do than wish your wife and offspring well and say:

    Great news AFI, congrats! Sorry to hear the labour was difficult, but thankfully it all worked out in the end.

    If you ever want any more but you don't feel like waiting around for ~9 months (and 50 hours, my sympathies <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" /> ) you can pick up a bunch for free at the nearest orphanage. They don't come with a warranty or anything but they're generally past the baby stage which is when a lot of the big defects make themselves apparent. You could get a whole set to complement your new acquisition!

    Think about it. They're more than just bundles of joy who need parents. They're tax breaks.

    Somehow that made me think something about insertable phasegates.

    Enjoy the rugrat <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pudgy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::gorge::" border="0" alt="pudgy.gif" /> and get him some plushies!
