And Baby Makes 6

Today my wife delivered our first son, Jacob Alexander, at 12:04 PM, He weighed 6 lbs 8 oz and was 20″ long. I told myself a while ago that it didn’t matter to me if it was a boy or girl, but now I have to admitt that it does. It must be some sort of primal male trait that I didn’t know that I had. I love all my children equally, and would sacrifice my life to save any one of them without a second thought. Still, I feel strange somehow; like a feeling of completeness in my life now prevades my being. Sound strange? It does to me.

Who knows? Anyway, it has been a very long day for us all. My only wish is that dad could have held Jacob. I know he would have loved that. I can almost see him smile.
