Morris (James|Gordon) (Gordon|James) Greenfield (middle name order as yet undecided) arrived (unhappily) in the world last night at 6:07pm.
Mom and baby are happy and healthy (although Morris may disagree on that particular point). Mom will remain in hospital until Sunday.
Based on the deluge of SMSes, Facebook messages, and email messages I've been valiantly fighting last night and this morning, the entire world is now aware of his arrival. This is only fitting. He comes from good stock and the world should be proud to hear that there is additional redundancy in that corner of the gene pool.
The doctors needed a hand at the last minute and, recognizing me for the bottomless well of raw talent that I am, asked me to lend a hand. I was only too happy to assist, and show them a few tricks I made up on the spot.
Visitors are welcome but the hospital is quite strict about two at a time. Contact me for visiting hours. I'll post them here if I remember to bring them home (I said talent, not memory).
