Well, as Arcanas so rightly pointed out, perhaps yesterday’s post was one of those pre-canned posts. Actually, I typed it up at around 5:00 yesterday morning, just before heading to the hospital. I’ve actually also delayed this post somewhat, so that the grandparents have time to get their phone calls out.
William Alexander Mitchell was born at 6:58 local time on February 17th, 2003. Our 7lb 2oz baby boy measured at 21 1/2 inches. There are all kinds of other details, and I’m sure I’ll fill them in over the coming days, but for now, you’ll have to be satisfied with that. I also didn’t have an opportunity to get a photo yet, but rest assured that both Mother and Baby are doing fine. I only made a handful of phone calls, since I didn’t get home until around 11:00, and I’m exhausted. I have to get some sleep before tomorrow morning, since Erin wants me at the hospital bright and early. It would have been nice to be able to stay overnight, but for various reasons, I didn’t think it would be a good idea. I placed exactly five phone calls, two to great-grandparents, and three to grandparents, then instructed them to spread the word. I will try to get pictures up as soon as possible, but I can’t promise when that will be.
I’d been saving that Frink quote from yesterday for the day that we had the baby, so bearing that in mind, I’m not going to have a quote of the day for today. In fact, it might be a couple of days before I get any kind of quote up at all.

And someone doubted that I was right when I said it was a phantom post :P
Congrats, lad! To quote Daveman, give Erin Amy’s and my own well wishes. I hope we can come and see little Will soon!
Once Erin feels up to it, we will come and visit and meet the newest Mitchell boy (there are a lot of you, aren’t there?)
Again, congrats!

Congratualations to all three of you, it will be great to see the pictures when you actually get the time to put them on your site. I just can’t imagine the baby being a boy there are so few boys on the Mitchell side of the clan. Greg give Erin and Wlliam our very best and of course you also.

Hooray, hooray! Congratulations! What are the chances that he doesn’t have the PS2 - Y chromosone? How long before Will is telling Dad, “I wanna play punch?” Glad to hear you are all doing well!
