Booooooooooooooooy!

Hippo was born at 7:20am this morning, and weighed 8 pounds 2 ounces. Despite what Cheesefairy and I both thought, he turned out to be a boy. Mother is well, Hippo is well, and Trombone is enjoying his new role as big brother. The Cheesefairy and Hippo will be coming home on Monday morning. Pix below for your viewing pleasure.

    Wooooo to the T! I said to Phil 30 minutes ago that I had a feeling we should check your blog – low and behold!

    Congratulations to all four of you. =)

    Love,

    Erin (and Phil)

    Yaaaay! I’m glad it’s a boy, that way there won’t be as many issues as a girl might have being referred to as “hippo”.

    we all say he is beautiful. Happy day.

    And, think of all the money you have just saved on reusing a lifetime of dungarees, etc.

    Well done mama. Congratulations all and thanks to papa for the update.

    Congrats!

    Funny – I just assumed Hippo was a girl. ‘Hippo’ must just be inherently female to me.

    Such a gorgeous family! Hurray!
    Especial squishes to Trombone, since being a new big brother can be almost as confusing and exciting as being a new mom and dad.

    Being an older brother and dimly remembering the arrival of a new being in the house when I was roughly trombone’s age, these pictures really touch me deep in the soul. A family in love bringing another one home. Man, I’m getting all misty at work again! I better pull myself together. Huge congratulations to you two.
