On the day after Christmas, my pregnant wife told me she was experiencing severe pain and to make a long story short, our first baby was born in the evening on 26 Dec 2006! He wasn't supposed to be born until February 2007 so he is a little early, but he's doing great and the people caring for him are telling us that things only look good for the little guy.

So far, we are absolutely loving being parents. This little guy has brought so much joy into our lives already. If you're married and are in a position to have a baby, I greatly recommend it!

Here's some pics I prepared of him:

Little "Dirk" Ownby by any chance?

What a wonderful Christmas you and yours must be having Matt.
Congratulations to both of you.

Congratulations!

I wish you many sleepful nights!

Parenting a newborn can be challenging but you guys will get thru it. Everyone does.

With any luck he will be sleeping 12 hrs straight b4 you know it

Lots of luck!

Congratulations Matt.

And your advice is spot on. Soon after we decided it might be time to have children, my wife went into menopause.

Don't wait folks, please. Women have a limited time.

Here's some new video shot on an old super VHS camera of the little scoundrel:

watch out Matt... if you start posting videos they're likely to end up as Singe games.
