Best. News. Ever!
On 25 June 2006, at 1750 local time in Mannheim, Germany, my son Mark entered this world!
After roughly 36 hours of labor, the doctors decided that he was too big for a natural birth and opted for a C-section, after which both Mark and my sweetie are doing fine. Weighing in at a hefty 9.5 pounds and standing (ok, laying) at a height of 21.5 inches, Mark is already intimidating lesser babies. Ok, ok, I'm exaggerating, but only that he intimidates lesser babies, he really was 9.5lbs and 21.5 inches (that's 4330 grams and 55cm for you metric folks out there).
Pictures of Mark will be posted tomorrow.
I'll be spending a lot more time in the next week or so at the hospital with my new family, so Little Known Facts of Victory will be less frequently posted, but no less frequently occuring. Just because you're not seeing it on B36 News doesn't mean it isn't happening. If you'd like to view some of the sources that I draw my material from during my reduced operations, here is a list of those sites:
USAID News
MNF-I News
MNC-I News
Defend America - OTG
Defend America News
CENTCOM Press
DoS - Iraq Weekly
