Default it's a boy!!

My son (our firstborn) was born April 27th! He was 6lbs 13oz and 20 inches long.

While he is sleeping, I've still gotten my calipers painted, and the 76 waxed. Had him in the stroller next to the car when I was waxing it, he didn't even flench when I started the car to pull it back into the garage - I think he likes the Vette!! (read: Vette not for sale)

I got a girl the first time out- 28 years ago and never looked back. She has however, provided me with a Grandson- he's getting close to a year.

Kids are great! Congratulations!!!

Congratulations! You are very blessed for sure.
The best thing I ever did when my kids were infants was to hang a swing from the floor joists in the garage. That way I could work on the car while the kids were swinging.

One of the other STL C3 SHARK members already gave him his first key to the Vette, its a blank, but I do plan on cutting it for him when the time comes

We did get 2 of the "pack-n-play" playpens, one for the house, 1 for the garage
