It’s a boy!
October 7th, 2008We left in a hurry in the middle of the night, leaving boy #1 to his auntie. Boy #2 was born this morning at 5 UTC, three weeks ahead of estimated schedule. That was fortunate, because he was already a fat little pink Yoda (3.5 kg / 7.7 lbs). We are very happy of having chosen this (one-hour-drive away) smalltown hospital, as it was renowned for its high ‘natural’ birth rate (and breastfeeding-friendly practices). My beautiful wife made it without any sort of chemicals, a thing she had dreamed of, but had never imagined she was actually capable of.

All congratulations to be forwarded to Mrs Mandarine and the little pink one, room #3. Sorry I was late with the pictures…

Hooray for Mrs M, the little pink one and you! What wonderful news! Having had one drugged birth and two drug-free ones I can attest to the adrenaline thrill of the latter. Well done to all of you. Looking forward to the picture.
A big welcome to this world to Boy #2!
Welcome little baby!
Congrats to Mrs Mandarine.
Can’t wait for photos (notice the s)… When you get a chance…
Congratulations and bravo to Mrs. Mandarine! Welcome to Baby Mandarine, I hope he lets his parents rest!
Congratulations! So happy for you and Mrs. Mandarine and Big Brother, too. Looking forward to seeing the picture.
Congratulations! That’s wonderful, and I’m very glad everyone is doing well.
Thank you everybody. I have my USB cord now. Pictures probably later today.
Congratulations to all of you! Welcome to the world, new little-person!
Heya Cori, and a happy birthday to you.
Congratulations to you both!
Ahhh! Finally some pictures, and what great ones they are!
Becky: all I did was hold a hand, grit my teeth and breathe along…
Emily: there will be picture of his eyes when he wakes up for more than half a minute (has hardly happened yet)
Thanks for sharing the wonderful news! Congratulations to you, Mrs. M, the little pink one and the big pink one!
