joshroot Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 <img src ="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/7306472-md.jpg" width="600"> <p> May 23, 2:44am, 7 lbs, 7 oz, 19.5 inches. <p> Just an update for those who asked. My son was born healthy and cute as can be. My wife is tired, but healthy (and cute) as well. The whole event was just absolutely amazing. One of the best things I have experienced in my life. Yes, we took photos. Many many photos. Some of them quite powerful and well done. However, birth photos aren't really the kind of thing that gets shared with the world (if I want to have a happy wife), so you'll have to take my word for it. <p> Thanks to all of you who left compliments, encouragement, and positive thoughts on <a href="http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00PZPv">the other thread</a>. I spend so much time dealing with complaints and problems it's really nice to be reminded that there is a good community of people here and that we all have more in common than there are differences. <p> FWIW, I'm still not "back at work" today. But I anticipate at least catching up on the "contact us" email and a few other things starting tonight or tomorrow. But I'm not making any promises. This baby is just too amazing to ignore for long. <p> <img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/7306471-lg.jpg" width="600"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelchristensen Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Congratulations Josh! . . Children are absolutely wonderful and they change your life in a very special way. Like a famous song on the radio today, "you're gonna want this back" .. as you reflect on him as he grows up. And they all grow up too fast for parents. I expect you'll be wearing out the camera shutter before too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akajohndoe Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Congrats, again! Take your time, enjoy the moments. It seems like just yesterday my boys were born, and my youngest just called to say he'll be over in a few minutes - he'll be 21 this Summer. It goes by all too quickly.

joshroot Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 <i>"If you've got any sense you take an extended leave."</i> <p> I'm going to guess that most folks on photo.net would NOT want me to take an extended leave. <p> But not to worry, while there are annoying parts of running this joint, one of the huge advantages is that I get to work from home. So even when I'm working, I get to see my wife and son all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Laur Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Wonderful, Josh. Congrats. So much of the rest of the world's nonsense will start to just roll off of you like water from a duck. You've got Dad Armour now. Best of luck, and hope he's got that magic sleeps-at-night DNA. Please don't pay too much attention to us for a while!
