Sorry to be flagrantly off topic for a mo', but it is with *GREAT* Pleasure, 
Pride and Exhaustion that I proclaim to you that.....

		At 7:45 pm on MONDAY, MARCH 22nd, one little CHARLOTTE MARY SMITH IN NYC 
popped her tiny little head into the world.  Weighing in at six pounds and 
some-odd ounces, little Charlotte gave her long-stressed and 
sleepless-from-cholestasis mother a good fake-out with some braxton hicks 
contractions (i.e. false alarm) on Friday night. We were all prepared to 
sprint off to the hospital then and there, but the contractions never 
revealed themselves at regular intervals and eventually dissipated. So, when 
we went in this morning (Monday), they ran a bunch to tests, looked up and 
said: "How about today, then?"

And so it was.

Mother, child and dazed-but-elated father are all doing fine. They just 
kicked me out of the hospital so that all and sundry may sleep.

It is with indescribable joy and relief that I report that little Charlotte, 
though having only spent 36 weeks to the day in the womb, came out as 
perfect and as unspeakably adorable as can be.

Anyway, there you have it.....

Alex in NYC.....on cloud Nine.
