Daniel Ex Utero

Grandpa Schnake here, pinch hitting for Julia and Viggo:

Daniel was born at 10:15 pm on Monday Feb. 26.
He weighs 7 lb 2 oz and is 19 inches long.
All systems are functional, as demonstrated when he peed on Grandma's arm. All digits present and accounted for.

Julia began labor this afternoon if you don't count the previous three times she was admitted to labor and delivery in the past 9 or 10 weeks. Labor was intense. It took three and one half hours in the "pushing" phase.

We had four or five digital implements flashing and whirring making images, so I am sure you will soon see pictures, video, and probably a TV miniseries before long.

It is after midnight here. So I think I will rest and write more later.

GRATULERER!

Kjære Julia og Viggo!

Hvilken lettelse å se at fødselen er over og at lille Daniel har taklet overgangen til sin nye tilværelse bra. Sigmund og jeg gleder oss med dere, og takker Gud sammen med dere.
