Welcome Liam Andrew

I'd like to announce the birth of our second child, Liam Andrew. This cell-phone photo (alas, covering up his red hair) will have to do until the photo album is fixed and we can upload our real digital camera pictures.



Christy's water broke at around 4:00 last Friday morning. Bleary eyed, I wondered why she was making so much noise. She casually explained that she was getting her stuff together to go to the hospital. Whoa! Of course, I hadn't packed my pack yet and I started to panic. We also had our first-born to deal with. Thankfully, Christy's mother is in town and we were able to have her watch the boy most of the day.

We arrived at the hospital just after 7:00 and were expecting to have an easy delivery like last time. We ordered up the epidural and things were progressing just fine. Then, after the epidural and after a high dose of Patosin... things really kicked up. Bad news: Christy's meds didn't work at all and she was in enormous pain. Good news: it was all over by 10:33.

Stats: 7 lbs 11 oz, 20.5 inches long, red hair, blue eyes, and a perfect 10 on his APGAR. Mommy and baby are doing fine. Baby's big brother is a little confused but not nearly so confused as he's going to be in the coming weeks. Daddy's still trying to kick a cold that he's had for two weeks (the lack of sleep won't be helping).

I'm sorry I just couldn't bear a post announcing your second son and with pictures and such sitting there with zero responses. hope all is going well and that you four are adapting nicely.

Thanks Billy D! Everthing is going well, though I'm busy beyond belief. It's amazing how little free time one has when one has a second child.

Hi Gabriel,

It's been a while since we have last chatted. Alas, I've been completely absent from the gaming forums due to difficulty finding time to use the Internet at home. Hopefully, as the kids get older, my online activities will pick up. Also, I hope to attend to GenCon in 2008 (2007 is a no-go due to baby).

Thanks for the comment and please drop by the blog again (I hope to increase the frquency of my posts once I get my photo site back up ad running).
