Excellent news Alex. I'm very happy for you both. Give my regards to the new mother and child. :)

Sorry to be flagrantly off topic for a mo', but it is with *GREAT* 
Pleasure, Pride and Exhaustion that I proclaim to you that.....

At 7:45 pm on MONDAY, MARCH 22nd, one little CHARLOTTE MARY SMITH IN 
NYC popped her tiny little head into the world. Weighing in at six 
pounds and some-odd ounces, little Charlotte gave her long-stressed and 
sleepless-from-cholestasis mother a good fake-out with some braxton 
hicks contractions (i.e. false alarm) on Friday night. We were all 
prepared to sprint off to the hospital then and there, but the 
contractions never revealed themselves at regular intervals and 
eventually dissipated. So, when we went in this morning (Monday), they 
ran a bunch to tests, looked up and said: "How about today, then?"

And so it was.

Mother, child and dazed-but-elated father are all doing fine. They just 
kicked me out of the hospital so that all and sundry may sleep.

It is with indescribable joy and relief that I report that little 
Charlotte, though having only spent 36 weeks to the day in the womb, 
came out as perfect and as unspeakably adorable as can be.

Anyway, there you have it.....

Alex in NYC.....on cloud Nine.
