I had my little boy last Wednesday. A human boy.
His name is Will. Brian and I both have grandpas named William but we just decided on Will. Why just Will? Well, I have a 13 letter and 5 syllable last name. 13 letters! That's half the alphabet! So we like to keep the first names short and simple around here.
The kids are excited. Maybe a better word for how Addie is feeling is "indifferent" about it all.
But Ben is the most excited of all. He is so excited that he now has a brother to play Legos with. I told him he still has to wait a few years. Or seven years. He says he knows.
Oh and these little blankets are so cool. They're like mini straight-jackets made out of fleece and velcro. I know, it sounds so mean to bind them all up like this. But when one's flailing arms are the reason for waking oneself up from sleep then the best thing to do is to strap one's arms down.

What a little cutie! I forgot to tell you that Benny and Elli both were little helpers for Linc and Addie yesterday. They'll be good big sibs.
So cute. Love his name. I loved those swaddle/straight jackets. Best things ever.
What the crap! Holy cuteness. I was just going to comment and ask you when you were going to have your little alien. He's adorable, and Will is a GREAT name. Two thumbs up. Good work across the board.
