This morning my son (Benjamin) came into the world. He is healthy and strong and he and his mom are doing great. His big brother and sister are thrilled too.
Thought I'd share this with everyone since I have been talking about it so much.

Thank you. Yes, I was there and even cut the cord. Did that for all 3 children. Having a child really is the most amazing thing that can happen to someone IMO.

a very HAPPY new year to you! Congrats and looking forward to seeing pictures of Benjamin once you get him a "Roots" sweater to complete your set.

Is grandma still there to help you out around the house?

She is still here, a big help for sure.
Yes, so they make those red sweaters for infants?
Benjamin looks more like me and my build. My wife said the shoulders were worse than the head. Looked awfully painful to me.
