It's a Boy!
We have welcomed our second child to our home. Born less than 12 hours ago, you can check out all the fun (okay... 4 pictures) here.

Re: It's a Boy!
Congratulations man! I haven't posted it here yet, but I am going to be having my third child in July. We have two boys now, and this next one is going to be a girl!

Re: It's a Boy!
Yeah, congrats
Though actually, I am a little distressed to see you bleached, blue-rinsed and spiked your newborn's hair in the photo 'All wrapped up'.

Re: It's a Boy!
Kudos, Spiffy! You now get to relive all the joys (and not-so-joys) of having a baby in the house again. Believe me, I'm going through it as well. Hope you stocked up on sleep.
And what's more, your tax refund next year will be huuuge!

Awesome! What are the specs? er... weight and length. That's what I meant.

6 pounds and 19-1/4" long... We got the "male" model
So, It's been fun to say the least. I forgot how much "fun" it was to spend the night at a hospital. The new baby comes home today and it will be nice to be home again. It is tough to pass up all that free service at the hospital. Suzie Derkins has real good insurance!
[WHO?]
I'll catch everyone up on my thinly veiled internet persona:
I'm Spaceman Spiff (duh)
My wife is Suzie Derkins (post 15)
Our girl is Mr. Bun (post 53) (This one did stick but the references were lost in the forum crash)
Our new little boy is :drumroll: Hobbes
[/explanation]
It was amazing to be a a father in the first place. I remember the day our girl was born and while the emotions are similar and the events are basically the same everything seems so different now. Maybe it is a guy thing but just saying "I have a son" brings me joy.
For those of you who don't know, we waited (both times) to find out the gender. I heartedly recommend you do the same. If you want to know why, read the blurb on the website
Anywho, I need to get Mr. Bun (that'll get confusing!) off to school and head back to help Suzie and Hobbes get checked out. Thanks for all of your accolades and warm wishes.

Wow, the lot of you seem to be pretty busy making little versions of yourselves.
Well spiff, just make sure you raise him as a mac user and the next generation should come out just fine.
