Oh, boy.
"I was just a boy when I sat down
To watch the news on TV
I saw some ordinary slaughter
I saw some routine atrocity
My father said, don't look away
You got to be strong, you got to be bold, now
He said, that in the end it is beauty
That is going to save the world, now"
- Nick Cave, Nature Boy, from 'Abattoir Blues'
Wow. I have a son.

Congrats, Nikki!
Thanks, Craig!
(and I promise to try and not have any more big life-changing news for at least a week!)
What a lucky boy, having you for a mum!
-does her cheerleader routine, and gets through the "Gimme a B! Gimme an O!" before she falls off the desk-
-groans from the floor-
"Gimme an Ow! I mean Y!"
Oh, and I can't wait to introduce him to Uncle Jeremy and Auntie Shanna! Thanks both!
(Shanna, you okay? Need a hand up?)
