A Son is Born!

Hi folks,

Sorry again that we continue to be unable to post directly; Swedish even blocks upload access to our photo album. Such is life. And speaking of life, our new one has arrived! Here are the vital stats:

Zachary David Selfon [Hebrew name withheld, pending the brit milah] was born last night! His vital stats:

Born 8/8/07, 10:12 PM
7 lbs 8.4 oz
20” length
13.5” circumference around head
13.25” circumference around chest
.398 lifetime batting average [Okay, the last one I just made up – and no, I’m not pressuring him to follow his dad into professional sports. Or something.]

No, we don’t know his collar size or inseam, though based on those circumferences, you’d think they were measuring for hats and suits… Anyway, a huge special thanks to all of the friends who’ve e-mailed and called to wish us well, and to Simon and Justine for posting our blog entries for us remotely while we’re at Swedish. Yay! We’ll hopefully have many more details in the next few days (I believe we get to go home from the hospital tomorrow), including more pics. [5 PM]
