I HAVE A SON!! *OT*IMGs*

In the CRAZIEST of crazy scenarios my wife and I, who have been unable to conceive for over 5 years, got a call yesterday from a nurse-friend who works at a hospital. She told us "there's a woman who just came in and declared she wanted to adopt out her baby. Do you want a baby?"

Um... YEAH!!!

There's obviously a bit more to the story, but I'm a little brain-fried after the last 24 hours. I'll be happy to answer follow-up questions :)

Oberon Andrew Harber

Oberon: old german origin, meaning "Noble Bear"
Andrew: meaning "Man, Warrior"

So, it'll still be a long road until he's actually fully adopted, but we now have a beautiful baby boy in our home!

Now all you need is to wait for his hands to be able to fit around a 360 controller so you can pretend your CSR is going down because of him!

As I've said before, congratulations, man! You, wifey and Oberon have all of my best wishes.

Congratulations dad!!!! I have a 2mo old nephew, and I still get super excited seeing him and holding him and just watching him. I imagine you're feeling about 50x that now. That is just awesome :) My best wishes to you, your wife, and son.

PS- Awesome name

I was just able to watch the video. Why you gotta make a brother tear up like that? :) He's beautiful man. And he's got some incredibly loving parents. Congrats again.

Thanks Claude! (not gonna lie; it's weird not calling you Wu or seeing you identified as such) :)

We're doin' our best, with a lot of help and encouragement from friends and family. The DBO & HBO communities are definitely both included in that! :)

Oberon Andrew Harber

Oberon: old german origin, meaning "Noble Bear"
Andrew: meaning "Man, Warrior"

Ok, so I was talking with Chewbaccwakka the other night, we got on the topic of names, and I decided to look up the meaning of my name.

My first and middle names are: Alexander Bernard

Alexander: from the Greek, meaning "man's defender, Warrior"
Bernard: from the old German, meaning "strong, brave bear"

I just about freaked out at the awesomeness that is that name, never realizing it until that moment, and Chewbaccawakka and I both thought the same thing when he said "Heh, nice. Makes me think of Oberon."

So, now I feel a sort of nominal kinship with your son. We Warrior Bears gotta stick together. Awesome names indeed!
