Slightly belated announcement, for any who haven't heard

Things you probably shouldn't say to new parents: "You can tell he's a boy. . . . he is a boy, right?"

Fortunately, yes, it's a boy, and his name is Alexander Josiah. He was born at 1:07 PM on the 16th of July, weighing 7lbs 14oz, after nine hours of labour and two rounds of paracetamol. He's pretty cute: I think we'll be keeping him.

At least seven or eight, including me, because he really does look just like him. I'm not sure he's mine, to be honest.

Thank you. We think so too. :D Aaaaaaaaaand while we're on the subject, we received a package from Canada and opened it to discover . . .

One word (or expressive sound-equivalent): D'AWWWWWWWWWWWW.

He's gorgeous! ^___^ Must not get broody...

You and David are very lucky to have him, and I hope everything goes well.

Thank you! The pictures make me broody, to be honest, and that's just all kinds of circular. I'm not even sure how to handle it.

Thank you very much. :)

My word! It's a baby!

Congratulations :)

It is indeed -- not, despite the ultrasounds which clearly indicated otherwise, an alien or a turnip.

Thank you!
