3.51 kg. (That's about 7.7 lbs.) Mommy and baby are doing very well, thank you. Baby is particularly bright-eyed and savvy. Those eyes say: hey, I wasn't born yesterday, you know. Her older sister was bald as a cue, so young Vi is ahead on that score. And hardly a wisp of downy lanugo. Another sign of maturity. (If I ever write a novel with an idiot man-child protagonist - and with luck and a little hard-work I certainly will - I will remember to name him Downy Lanugo.)

Congratulations!

Myself, I love how Daisy and Gatsby up there in the title bar have suddenly become doting parents, gazing down upon their Mai.

From a devoted reader/voyeur, a deep sigh of relief. Those recently reported dreams were starting to worry me. Ah well, soon you'll be desparate for sleep of any kind, dreams or not.
I'm looking forward to how your trio becomes a quartet, and what the Boss and Baby Vi think of each other.
Warmest congratulations and best wishes.
