My wife just had a baby! It was a very long, hard slog for her, but she pulled through and did it!

The baby, a boy, was born at 5:01 p.m., which I believe is the Hour of the Chicken, he weighed 3.48 kg, and was 51 cm long (that's 7 lbs., 11 oz., and 20 inches).

Thanks also to our friend em Như, without whom things wouldn't have turned out nearly as well.

Oh, I should also probably add that this was two days ago, not just today.

Congratulations to two of the best people I know. You both deserve the happiness that you have found.

On a personal note, this is the second Vietnamese/American pregnancy I have seen go full term since I first wandered into VJ! The rest of you need to get busy, because there's still time for a few more. ;)

Thanks also to our friend em Như, without whom things wouldn't have turned out nearly as well.

Is that my Vietnamese name? :unsure:

Thanks also to our friend em Như, without whom things wouldn't have turned out nearly as well.

Em Như is Mai's friend who is truly fluent in both English and Vietnamese. You understand that under that kind of stress, Mai somewhat lost her English.

Is that my Vietnamese name? :unsure:

No, silly, you know better than that. Your Vietnamese name is anh Bốc Phét.

Well I just got an email from another member that hasn't been around in a while. #2 was born the other day. Mickey is actually the 3rd. Hopefully he'll come along soon and share the news.
