Best of luck to all. As I say to all the expectant Mom's out there, better you than me!
Alot of folks buy a newspaper the day their child is born, so later you can show it to them and say "this was what was happening in the world when you were born." One of my friends was thoughtful enough to buy a DRF for me on the day my son was born. Kinda cool.

Gavin? You're not going to name him 'Victor'?

Best of luck to you and your wife. You'll probably be amazed that they will let the 3 of you leave the hospital without any sort of instruction manual.

You're in for some wonderful times.

Default Thank You DT'ers

Thanks so much for the well wishes.
Everything went great and everyone is really excited except for the 3 year old big sister.
I think she will warm up over time...haha.
He cried for a minute after he was born to clear his lungs and that was all he cried all day...the nursery was full of newbies going nuts....but Gavin was just taking it all in looking around and catching some well deserved zzzzzz's.
I am sure the no crying thing is permanent...

Between the birth of my son and Lane Kiffin getting trained by the NCAA....it has been the Greatest day EVER!!!
