Quick post to let everyone know that we have a son!!! (And no, despite what "it's about time" said in the comment section, his name is not Connie. We're slightly more creative than that. Sheril.)
Samuel Thomas was born at 2:40 on Saturday. 8 lbs 2 oz, 21 inches. mom and baby doing great.
Yeah, yeah. bland, I know. But I'm effing tired, and have to go pick up the perscriptions at CVS and then take a nap.
More fun later, I promise. And PICTURES!
Stay tuned.

Who is this Puck guy anyway?
Our friends have a saying for those who are trying to get pregnant: they've "pulled the goalie." An excellently evocative hockey term. Of course, we never really so much "pulled" the goalie as he just kind of wandered away from the net. Either way, the result was the same, and we suddenly found ourselves seeking an in utero handle for our gestating offspring. The easy choice was Puck. A name that has a nifty built-in Shakesperean double entendre. The photo above is from outside the Folger Shakespeare Library which I pass every day on my walk to and from work. And yes, the one in the silver is Puck.
