Happy Birthday



President Roosevelt said that December 7th would live on as a day of INFAMY. I say it will live on as a day of celebration because the Resplendent One himself, Nicholas Edward Gonzalez, entered into this mortal coil that we call life. All went as planned. The operation was a success. Unlike his brother, he didn't eat his poop, so he avoided a 3-day trip to the NICU.

When he was pulled from the womb, the immediate reactions were unanimous: Good Lord, he's HUGE!! Two nurses told Maureen that she was lucky it was a scheduled c-section because there was no way he would have fit the natural way. He weighs 9-lbs 6-oz and is 22-inches in length. In comparison, John was 8-lbs 7-oz and 20-inches in length. Our two delivery nurses are convinced he's going to be a linebacker. Since they are from the Midwest (Minnesota & Michigan), I'll take their word for it.

Mother and son are resting comfortably at the hospital. Your correspondent is back home manning the wire to spread the word.
