Yup. Welcome Elliot Benjamin, our new little buddy. It was a loooooooong weekend but he finally came out to play at 7:30am on Monday. We did have the natural childbirth of our dreams. No drugs. Just a few really long nights and moments of self doubt and triumph far beyond any that could be described. I guess I aught to write up a proper birth story, but that'll come later...

Oh, congrats! How wonderful.

(I am beyond amused that almost a thousand miles away, my son got the same exact pattern of blanket that yours has in that photo.)
