    Yeah. And you will also soon wonder just what the hell you did with all that free time you had BC. (Before Child) Don't worry about the lack of sleep. You learn to get by on despair, crushed dreams, and guilt.

    Welcome to the club.

    Re: Congratulations, Mythaeus!

    Oh wow, I am super, super, super touched guys! I've been away for so long (seems forever) from the forum and came back to so much warmth. I'm overwhelmed, really! Thank you all for the wishes and congrats from the bottom of my heart!

    Now, the details:

    Our son Ryu Lucian arrived November 6th, 2012, Year of the Dragon on Election Day, @ 1.21PM. He weighed 5lbs 6oz and 18.5" long. Ryu is "dragon" in Japanese, as in the character in the video game Street Fighters. The proper Japanese pronunciation is soft, almost like "You", but we are going to Westernize it to "RHEE-You". Lucian is "light", but we named him after the main Lycan character in the film Underworld. He can be called either Ryu or Lucian...or Ryu Lucian. He is the "dragon of light" and a mix of Polish mother and Vietnamese father. Both mom and baby are doing well. We are all extremely happy to have him in our lives.

    Here he is, destined to be a Kung Fu master or a Jedi...or both:

    You know, I really wouldn't have minded if you named him after me. :D

    How early?
    12 days before due date. It was somewhat expected that he will be early, but it was unexpected that he decided to come out that day.

    Hahaha...indeed he can! We already have plans to send him to Spain every summer to learn martial arts and Spanish...as soon as he can do both.

    Oh wow! That is incredible. She's adorable too! I know someone at work with the exact story and result. Very cool!

    What are you going to buy him as his first gun?
    Crazy as it sounds, haven't really thought about it. He will just pick one from the bunch that we have, but maybe not. Just got a very nice used Winchester model 34 bolt action that would work great for his first rifle.

    How about Hapkido? He is beautiful. As soon as he smiles please post a pic. I miss those toothless baby smiles.

    And giving her momma fits. The boys can't seem to leave her alone. Luckily she has a good head on her shoulders.
