My nephew was born yesterday! I got to England at just the right time; they induced labor just before I got to the hospital.

Witnessing childbirth is a little unnerving but mostly just hugely fascinating. I still can't believe that I just saw a tiny little person entering the world for the very first time! Like whoa.

Real-life newborns don't look like newborns on TV. They're extremely purple, and their heads are way, way more conical than I ever imagined. Also, babies aren't like puppies or kittens; they can open their eyes right away! That was pretty cool.

Picture album here.

Awwwww! Tell Mary she did a great job. :) What's Sproglet's name, if I may ask?

They haven't decided yet, which is why we're still calling him Sproglet. :-) But they're nearing a decision! Perhaps tomorrow the name can be revealed.

congrats from the US!

As self appointed matriarch I hereby announce to the blogosphere ( or at least this corner of it) that Sproglet is now officially registered as Benjamin Antony Leneis.
