It's a BOY!!

Infant Joy
by Wiliam Blake

"I have no name:
I am but two days old."
What shall I call thee?
"I happy am,
Joy is my name."
Sweet joy befall thee!

Pretty joy!
Sweet joy, but two days old.
Sweet Joy I call thee:
Thou dost smile,
I sing the while;
Sweet joy befall thee!

And there's sweet joy all around!! This morning, colleagues, friends and family all across the world woke up to the brilliant news that G, (an old boss), has just had a baby boy! What fun! Before I knew it I had pictures of the little one as well! All the old cliches are simply begging to crawl out of the bag!
The one thing that amazed me though was how delightful it was to live in the digital age! Right from the onset of labor to the birth, updates by sms and email made sure that those of us who were far away, never felt the distance.
As for G, his new job as Dad will be unlike anything he's done before I'm sure :) Although he might say that he did baby us for a while. So, with full hearts, here's wishing him and his wife, the very best. May they always have a helping hand with the diapers!

Thanks, N. You guys have given me sufficient training in handling little ones. :-) And thanks for that reference to "an old boss".
