Please accept my apologies in advance if this post is slightly incoherent; I’ve been more-or-less up for about 72 hours. Just so nobody is worried – Sweet Pea has been born. Her real name is Prudence Victoria Dwyer. She and Sarah are both doing well. They’re still at the hospital, but will hopefully be sent home tomorrow. Since we’ve been moved from the labor and delivery wing to the maternity wing I now have to abide by visiting hours (albeit slightly expanded ones for dads) and am thus home blogging, dealing with an even more emotionally needy than usual Calvin, and being about to fall asleep. I’m going back to the hospital first thing tomorrow morning, hopefully to return with mama and baby.
Thank you to the medical staff of New York Downtown Hospital, everyone who included us in their prayers and all those members of the CT who stopped by and lent a hand (you know who you are).
Rest assured, there will be many, many photos, but not right now. I’m only one (very, very tired) man!

congratulations! can’t wait to see photos 🙂
I scored a 30.1, about eqaisidtunt between Charlie Stenholm and Ron Paul… two politicians I probably don’t agree with that much actually.I’d imagine the numbers would have been less conservative if one of the chambers was controlled by the Republicans (the agenda setting power of the D’s, or maybe ADA’s agenda setting in their choice of key votes, probably makes libertarians seem more conservative than they actually are).
18.10.2012 at 16:34 · I precisely needed to thank you very much once again. I do not know the things I could possibly have made to happen without those basics contributed by you about that industry. It became a real frightful matter in my view, however , observing a new skilled approach you processed it took me to jump for contentment. I am just thankful for this support and have high hopes you are aware of an amazing job you were carrying out educating many people through your web page. I am certain you haven’t got to know all of us.
Wow, that’s a rather traditionalist maternity ward, apparently. I tend to forget that not everywhere has the “family suites” setup where the dads can stay 24 hours. Not comfortably, but hey. The first night or two (C-section means 4 days stay) it was priceless for her to have the help and not have to rely exclusively on calling the staff.
