The Waiting is Over

My son, who, I regretted to be informed by my wife, will emphatically not be named "Frodo", was born at 9:20 this morning after twenty six hours of labour.

I'm going to bed now.

26 hours! I hope Puff gets whole decades off Purgatory for that!

Thanks be to God for a safe delivery. Prayers for a quick and full recovery.
