Bort news
It is with overwhelming joy that I inform you that my son "Bort Jr." was born late on Friday night, after 40+ hours of labor. He is my first child, he and his mother are in great health, and at 8 lbs 7 oz... who you callin' a "big baby"?

Congratulations, now go out and purchase yourself a father's Day present, the book "Fatherhood" by Bill Cosby. You'll laugh until you cry. Then you'll realize it is all true!!!!

Re: Bort news
Congratulations! Becoming a father was the very best day of my life until..............................I became a grandfather. It's a wild and crazy ride. Enjoy every minute! 
I am fortunate to have a great job that feeds my family well, but music feeds my soul.

Re: Bort news
Mazel tov, Bort! One piece of advice I will pass along: enjoy the time when you can set the baby on the floor (on a blanket), leave the room, come back and the baby is happily playing in the same place. Once they discover mobility, you are done for.

Congrats! I expect many pictures of the little one shoved inside your Neptune while you've still got it!

No lie... I made my wife take pictures of this for me for father's day. Harder than I thought! Haven't pulled them off the camera yet though...Tubajug wrote:Congrats! I expect many pictures of the little one shoved inside your Neptune while you've still got it!

Re: Bort news
Yeah, I tried stuffing my boy in my bell for a few pictures, but I waited too long. He was too old by then and refused to cooperate...bort wrote:No lie...
