Title: Say hello to Baby Sousa
Post by: DrCool on December 23, 2011, 11:14:37 PM
My wife and I had our first baby yesterday at 7:12. He was 8lbs 13 ozs and was 21.5 inches long. 17 hours of labor later I have a whole new respect for my wife.

Clyde William Sousa is his name. Not sure why but I have always liked the name Clyde.

Doesn't he look great? Or am I just a bit biased?

Congratulations!

He looks great *and* you're biased (it doesn't have to be an "or" you know).

And I have always thought there's a "cool" with Clyde.

Woo Hoo! Congrats to all.

Grandma & Grandpa seem especially pleased.

On a side note, there seems to be a lot of this happening around here lately. Did someone spike the water cooler?

Congratulations!

That is a long period of labour... it's very impressive the way women handle this ordeal.

Clyde has a river named after him in Scotland, hopefully he can make the trip to visit it one day

Congratulations to you and Mrs. DrCool! 17 hours is quite an effort. I hope Clyde will appreciate it. ;)

Thanks everyone. It has been a great weekend getting to know the little guy, introducing him to friends and family, and trying to figure out how to be parents. It has been the best Christmas ever.
