My second son Mathew was just born

Hello folks, have just got from the hospital and I just need to scream into the world how much happy I am. This photo was taken just 15 mins upon the birth. This is Mathew, born 2 hrs ago, weight 8.157 pounds, height 20.5 inches. His wife is doing great too. Gosh, this is amazing being a father again.

Coincidentally my Niece Zoe had her first rug-rat this morning....about 8 hours ago.  [was due Xmas day - probably will become a train driver]...;)

Thank you all, folks. Granma has just taken my first one with her so I can get a short break. Slept just an hour or so. In the afternoon gonna go with Stephen (the first son) see my lady and kiddo. Stephen knows he has got a brother but as he is not even 3 yrs old he is not quite sure what precisely means having a brother  :grin:

 

I just love having children but as I was participating on the birth and watching how much my lady suffered, gosh, she is so strong. If I were her, and that is not possible, I know, I would be scared so much. Again I realize that women need to be adored by us - poor men  :sun:

Awesome news Tom, beautiful work! The miracle of creating a life, can only be surpassed by the miracle of skinning when you have two kids, thats a challenge. Better you than me!

 

 CONGRATULATIONS!

Your best skin yet and you probably only took five minutes to make it,9 months to release it though, glad you do not skin that way always! Just humor ,, very happy for you and mom.

Oh thank you, Greg. Yes the birth was pretty smooth. But that is just my perspective. I am a strong believer that my wife suffered no matter how long how did it take. But both are fit and that matters.
