clammyc = "daddy-o"

Update [2008-4-1 18:40:14 by clammyc]:  damn....I go out to pick up a few things and got this kind of response.  Thanks so much for all the well wishes.  If I don't answer every comment, I apologize, but will read each and every one and thank you all for the kind words.

No, this isn’t an April Fools Day joke - yours truly is now officially a daddy (hat tip to Booman for breaking this news last night).

The latest progressive to join our cause, and in the words of fellow Daily Kos member The Maven "eligible to run for President in 2044" and already ready to be groomed for the position - Peter Samuel Lambert, joined us on Sunday morning, weighing in at 7 lbs/6 oz and 19.5 inches.  Of course I am biased, but he is a total cute little peanut, and to all of you that already told me so, it is simply amazing how all things get put into perspective immediately.  For someone who is rarely at a loss for words, I can’t think of any words to describe how it feels to have a little baby.

Both Missus clammyc and Peter are total superstars and are doing great, while I was your typical nervous wreck.  We are all home from the hospital now, and trying to relax.  Thanks to all who sent well wishes either through email or over at BooTrib, and yes, we do have some pictures (this way, droogie can’t show me up too much for the diary last weekend with their very cute baby).

Here is a link to the pics from Peter’s first two days, and here are a few just as a taste for you:

The first picture of mommy and baby.

A close up of baby clam and clam-daddy right after the big event.

A self pic, and no, he didn’t take that one of himself.

Getting dressed to come home.

OK - so now I gotta go to the store and pick up a few things that we forgot to get before we left to the hospital on Saturday night.  Be back in a few, and I am sure that I will be around at all sorts of crazy hours :-)
