welcome, Isaac Louis!

[lagilman]

My cousin Adam and his wife/my bud havocthecat have achieved parenthood (about 12 hours before she was going to be induced -- typical Gilman, leaving it to the last minute...)

Weight: 9lbs 13oz
Height: 21.5 inches

Congratulations to the happy family!

Thanks for letting us know.

And I had just gotten done telling her about a collegue who was going to be induced and went into labor the day before the appointment. (She also had a huge baby, just a week ago. Hmmm. She had a girl. Maybe she's fated to meet Isaac...........)

Congratulations to all!

*declining virtual cigar, but accepting virtual port*

Grats!

Many, many congratulations to Adam and havocthecat.
And grats to you, first cousin once removed! :-)
Have you a little trinket in an envelope for the little tyke?
(Mithril shirts and Gondolin blades work well too, of course.)

Gotta love stealth babies (http://www.livejournal.com/users/banazir/2004/08/08/)!

actually, we're... I don't know what we are, actually. Adam's grandfather was my grandfather's younger sib.

But, as I've said elsewhere, fannish ties trump generational ties. So we're cousins.

And this kid is so doomed. Completely, utterly, wonderfully doomed.

Congratulations! But why only virtual cigars and port? Let's have the real thing!

It's that removal thing....

I think you're Isaac's second cousin once removed, but I'm very tired, so I won't bet on it. Port gladly accepted, but give me a chocolate cigar! (They have great ones at Dr. Chocolate here in Austin...)

And congrats to all concerned! Kids are good.

Jay, dad

Yay! Congrats to all!

Cousinage

alfreda89 is right: second cousin, once removed (http://www.duerinck.com/consangu.html) (which is also Bilbo's relation to Frodo).

But who's keeping track? You are fanmily... all ye know on earth and all ye need to know.

Doomed to a life of love and fandom?
The very, very best kind.

Grats to you and yours again!

Happy for you all,
Banazir
