I know I really don't hang around much here anymore, which is a decision made for multiple reasons, but I'm kind of making the rounds with my recent good news because it's simply the kind of thing I can't not scream out loud from the hilltops, even at 4AM when I just wish the kid would shut his piehole and go to sleep.

On 8/21/08, Kim and I welcomed Dean Erik into the world at 7lbs. 7oz., all 20" of him not at all pleased at being removed from his warm and comfortable accomodations. I think he's getting used to it by now.

Others have asked me why I'm in scrubs and it's because I'm in the OR - Dean wasn't about to come quietly, so they had to get all Caesarian on his little baby butt.
