You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

What time and where? I can probably get out of here a bit early to beat rush hour.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Move it to F2F, peeps.

Ok, more details. Please join me and Wallybee in welcoming Ryan Daniel Higgins into the world. (Chinese name is 方有仁, for those with Chinese characters, or Fāng Yŏu Rén, for those without.) He is adorable, very patient, and has a powerful suck, which makes him well qualified for the position of baby within this organisation. Mother and baby range from doing very well to being simply awesome.
He was born after 1:00 am on April 30, so for most of you it hasn't happened yet. Wallybee first experienced mild contractions just after midnight on April 28. They began in earnest around 11:00 pm that night, and we checked into hospital at 5:00 am on April 29, two hours before the deadline the doctors had set for starting induction.
By around midnight, Wallybee was showing some warning signs of possible distress (and was certainly exhausted), and Ryan was delivered by Caesarean section roughly 49 hours after he'd started indicating that his living arrangements were getting too cramped, and could we either deliver him or put in a theatre room. He was 50 cm long and 3.78 kg in weight at birth. They're now both resting comfortably. I'll be heading over there shortly to introduce him to his grandparents. ("Wŏ xiăng jièshào nĭde sūnzi." I've been practising.)
He still has a soft and squishy head, because his mother is a biped, in accordance with the laws of the State of Victoria. In the final analysis, though, I think the important thing is that it was the birth of a mammal, and I was there.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Some mom~ma would be appreciated. She is having another biopsy this afternoon to try and diagnose a problem she has had for months and months.
Some may remember us going through this last September. There was a hot, but apparently ineffective, doc involved and the waiting room featured HUGE portraits of Jesus. We are headed back to the samed place - different doc, same waiting room.

Thanks for the ~ma. Owen came through swimmingly and seems to be ok with his new crowns.

This is still rough, but it's also ready. Ryan makes his interwebby debut: [link]
