A while ago, I had posted that my wife had miscarried (for the fourth time) and I was having trouble writing after having been emotionally destroyed by this event. (Outlined here: http://www.hatrack.com/forums/writers/forum/Forum1/HTML/003508.html)

Well, the writing is still only so-so since then, but something else has happened since then as well.

We decided to try again, and she did indeed become pregnant.

After a shaky pregnancy, and many emotional ups and downs, on March 3rd, 2008, she underwent a c-section (5 weeks early) and gave me my son, Jakob Dylan Normand. At birth he was only 28 cm, and 2.338 kg's.

Well, he's a bit older now, and I'd like to share a pic with you guys.

If that doesn't work, PM me and if you'd like, I'll send you the pic.

Needless to say, I've found some new inspiration for my writing.

Note from Kathleen: the link to your topic didn't work because of a stray ) which I removed.

As for his name, we chose Jakob because we liked it, Dylan is my brother's name, and Normand is my wife's father's name.

If he chooses to put his name about when he reaches school age, I'm sure his classmates will let him know...
