It is my great pleasure to announce that after the longest labor in history, he's finally here!!
Sarah, Mom, Dad and Baby are all doing well. There's not much else I can tell you except that Grrl sounded very happy and very tired.
As for me, well, I'm over the moon!
CONGRATULATIONS GRRL!!!!!!!

FrumDad's marvelous idea of setting up a donation group is here:
https://www.fundable.org/groupactions/grrlsbabyshower
When we hit our goal, we will let Grrl designate the animal charity to donate to in Gefilte Boy's name. I will also give Grrl a list of everyone's email addy who donated with a nice card.

I don't know how to do a Trackback ping, so:

I'm not looking for traffic (I haven't had new content in months, anyway), I just thought it would be polite to tell someone.
Danae, delete if this is against protocol.
