My son was born

So our first baby was born Aug 12th at 1339. Baby and mother are doing great.
His name is Indiana Winters Davey (or Dr Jones). Winters is for *** Winters of WW2 fame (watch band of brothers for a little info on this guy).
6lbs 13 and 21.5 inchs.

He is amazing and I am not ashamed to say I cried when I watch him come into this world. Then laughed as he pissed all over the doc.

    Great news Ross, congratulations my friend! And since I KNOW you'll be handing out cigars to commemorate the joyous occasion, please make mine a God of Fire Carlito, as I've run out! :-D

    Seriously though, excellent news man and thanks for sharing it with us!

    Unfortunately, in our current media-enslaved culture this is the norm now... Mother and Baby share everything, stress, nutrients and disturbing images of thin babies in those Gerber Commercials... Most babies are born with a inferiority complex about their weight, or they go to drastic measures.
    "Norfolk,VA
    An emergency C-Section had to be performed on Olivia Stansmith when her baby had tied off the umbilical chord so as to not receive any more nutrients and to not gain more "Baby Fat"

    Michael Ian Stansmith was born underweight at 7:34am on Tuesday, Mother and baby are doing fine, but little Michael is still refusing the bottle until he is back to his 2nd trimester weight."

    A damn shame......
