New Addition To The Family

New Child in the Family

...normal people would just write
New Child in the Family...
~e.v.g.

An interesting obversation, Erik. While I can't speak for the U.K. Over here in 'merica the phrase "new addition to the family" would be more common than "new child in the family". Indeed, I don't think I've ever heard that. "New baby in the family" would be the more likely alternative. The subtle implication of using "child" in this specific instance would be that the new family member is indeed a child and not a baby and one would probably receive the impression that the family had adopted a child in the 2-10 age range.

Oh. Yeah, that thing. I no longer have access to that FTP site--and I have no idea how long the files that are there will be kept. Could be deleted at any time (or never, I have no idea what they're doing). So until I upload it somewhere else, I just took it out of my sig.

Congratulations Richard, and your good lady!

To me the greatest miracle on this Earth are children that are eleven months apart. How anyone would have the energy is beyond my comprehension.

A friend of mine and his wife, have two sets of twins 10 months apart!

Congratulation, Richard. I wish the best for you and your family!

My third child was born Sunday night after a reasonably short labour. She's a cutie and has what are quite possibly the most piercing screams I've ever heard when she wants feeding.

I keep telling myself that the sleepless nights are good for me...

1) Mazel Tov!

2) resonably short to YOU or to your WIFE? :wink:

Richǻrd,

Don't know 'bout over yonder, but 'round these parts the hospitals got themselves a nice racket where they charge you a ridiculously high fee to take a pic & post it on their website so's you can share w/ friends and family. Should British hospitals do the same, by all means give us a peek at the wee lass. :wink:
