Congrats to one and all.  We weren't told the gender of our child, hospital policy forbade it.  Not sure why, but it did.  We were allowed to guess and we guessed wrong :o  All the old folk-isms insisted it would be a boy and it wasn't.  My daughter turns 5 in April and it quite simply rocks.  She's a hoot and I wouldn't trade her for any boy. 

With a boy, you only have to worry about one prick, with a girl, you have to worry about all of them.  As I tell my friends with boys, it's nothing personal, but I will shoot your son if I have to ;D

Proud to annouce the birth of our baby boy!

Aidan York Davidson was born on August 1st at 1:43pm.  He weighed in at a healthy 8 lbs. 1 oz. and was 19 1/2" long. 

Both mom and baby are doing great.  I'll post a pic once I clear my head at work.

Meh. .. sleep is for the weak.

Tougher to get used to is the never having sex again.  Ever.

Good luck with that!

Cograts, buddy!

Awesome news Mike.  I was just thinking about you last night and how your wife was due anytime.  You've stepped into a much larger world now.  Life only gets more complicated from here on out, but it is worth every minute of it.  If your like most parents, you'll find a certain void in your life is now complete.  Plans for more?  Dont even ask the wife this one for a while ;D Once again congrats!

Here's Aidan's birth pic.  I think he can palm a basketball already with his big hands.



Plans for more?

Yeah, but not until Aidan's out of diapers.

My son is an Aidan, too... nice name :)


Aidan was actually a late suggestion by my wife.  We didn't finally decide on a name until after he was born.  Aidan was one of four we were trying to decide on - Tyler, Ryan and Conner being the others.

You know. . .I clicked the picture before I read your text and I was already going to comment on the size of those hands.  Wow.  Wookiee hands.

Buy a piano.  With those long fingers, the kid's a natural.


As far as naming goes, I'm there with you.  Both our kids were two or three days old before we named them.  Makes the nurses nervous.

Somewhere I've got a picture of all the revisions we went through naming our daughter written on the whiteboard in our hospital room.  Name, Spelling options, what a monogram would look like. .. etc.

Big job naming a kid.  Welcome to a world where you get to make decisions that will affect some else for the rest of their life.
