I prefer to be addressed as "God", actually, but "Uncle" works for the boys. I also respond to any sudden, high pitched, loud noises that sound painful.

Thanks, all.

Those who know me, and you know who you are, can PM me and I'll email you a photo of us.

MOM attendees will be familiar with the ritual of being dragged through my pictures!

Congratulations, Paolo! And three cheers for all adoptive parents. It's a huge, difficult choice, but one of the greatest things a person can do, and Godparenting is no less important.

I'll take this chance to plug Big Brothers and Big Sisters, too. In central Canada, at least, they are starving for volunteers.

i was wondering why none of the threads have been closed down recently. now i know.

I missed it on the first reading: 13 hours in labour!

Never mind Paolo, his work is just starting. Think what Missy has already gone through. I for one salute her.

It occurs to me that if it were men who gave birth there would be a lot less fucking in the world - if our species hadn't already died out.

Please forgive my being so late with congratulations. I usually visit here before I go to work in the morning and sometimes (like now), while I am there. Seems I'm always in a rush and on the go so I missed this completely. Again, congratulations.
