Welcome to the world, Seth

Dwana had left a message on my machine yesterday that our co-worker Becky had gone into labour Friday (apparently those weren't false pains, because she'd been feeling what she thought were Braxton-Hicks contractions at work, then went home, and her water broke). Five hours later (and only 9 minutes of real pushing) her son Seth was born. Apparently the baby started coming before the doctor could get there, and the nurse kind of panicked, and Becky actually wound up calming her. :) Anyway, one of us guessed the day, but he's smaller than any of us thought, being in the 7lb-something arena rather than the 9 lb one we thought he'd be, given his brother's size at birth. Anyway, congratulations to them. If all deliveries went so smoothly!
