Congratulations Lal and Davem! =) as we'd say in my family "que cosha golda!" ("cosa gorda" which is literally translated to "chubby thing" but that is NOT the meaning... it means rather a cute lil' one

I'm of the opinion that, when it comes to babies, the two are synonymous anyway.

He's adorable!
Lal & Dave, though I congratulated you elsewhere, why not here as well? Can't have too much celebration! Make the most of every minute - little ones grow up far too quickly.

A slightly belated congratulations to both of you, he is a cutie! Can't say how it pleases me to see the "dating-success" of the Downs resulting in a next generation (having been happily married to a downer for 3 years now, myself)

Durelin · 10-15-2007, 05:43 PM

Congratulations!! That's so exciting, and I'm so happy for you both! He's gorgeous!

Folwren · 10-15-2007, 07:23 PM

Congratulations!

Something funny - I just met a one month old just barely the same weight as this newcomer when he was first born!

Hope all is going well with you, Lal, and your recovery. My Mom had three Ceasarians. No fun.

Blessings!

I'm back.

Well I have a thousand and one things to do and am verrry tired, but my first task shall be to come on here. We came home yesterday evening. Davem said he'd do the through the night thing last night and is now in a sate of severe shock - I'd already done four nights of this in the hospital so I was quite happy to give him a turn but the little tyke decided to give him the run around and not induct him in lightly. Meh.

It's quite funny how quickly you fall into casual talk of sore bums and the colour of poop. Saying "What has it got in it's pocketses?" adds amusement to the task... I'm quite taken with the concept of modern medicine as the hospital team did a great job and despite still walking around at little old lady pace and whining when I climb the stairs as I can feel the stitches pulling, I was up and on my feet within 12 hours of the event. There's nothing to be scared of really, painkillers are excellent these days and then afterwards nature shows you what to do.

Now I need to look up what Middle-earth events took place on his birthday - off the top of me head, I think this was when Frodo was fleeing to Rivendell wasn't it?

Apparently, Glorfindel left Rivendell on the 9th. That would be pretty close.

Just bear in mind that it is a topic of somewhat limited interest to anyone who a, hasn't got a strong genetic stake in the pooh producer or , b, doesn't have one of their own to swap anecdotes about. I really didn't need as much information as I got about my god-son's potty training believe me

Don't get me wrong, I like children... I am just better with them when they have developed a sense of responsibility at both ends
