Raynor has just left Hobbiton.
Congratulations!

You will need to select for him a BD nick, so we can properly refer to him .

Splendid news, well done everyone!
Eleven pounds 3, wow, I am really impressed. There's some fine Northern genes there, for sure.

Wonderful news! Many congratulations to you! I hope he's not going to join the Downs when he grows up, because if the combined genes work, then no discussion thread will be safe anymore Pass all our congrats to Lalwendë as well!

Best of luck and congratulations! Your life will change. Oh how it will! It's as if you walk out the door and are swept along by something you never even knew existed before. I am sure you will do great with the child rearing. My one and only piece of advice is to make sure you both get enough sleep in the coming weeks.

...or quickly learn to live on less - or none.

Do we get to see a picture? And note that, when told the baby's weight, Ms. alatar said, "Ouch!" (even with the cesarean thing).

I bet Mrs Alatar will have even more sympathy when you tell her the "Caesarian thing" was after 2 days of labour.... that is still a very big OUCH as far as I am concerned... and I've realised that this one was bigger than the combined birth weight of my friends twins ...

Congratulations to you guys!



It is good to know everything is well. I'm sure you two have had a very exciting (and exhausting) week. Hopefully the baby will let you at least get some shut eye..

I think we all here look forward to seeing pictures in the future.

Well thank you for letting us know so soon ... I know a lot of us are very fond of you both (all!) but obviously there are a lot of RL folk who have priority...

But I am typing with a huge grin on my face and am just so happy for you and relieved that he has safely arrived.

*hugs*
