Thought I would post my Congrats on adding another to the world! Joy and Happiness to you and yours.
Gratz on your new pet!
Gratz to both yourself and the wife (you know, the one who did 99% of the work :P)! You are offically a "big" daddy!
To quote myself from another thread:

And congratulations, Thorin, on the addition to your new brood. You've got enough kids now that, when they're older, you can form a curling team, a D&D group, or maybe a miniature zerg rush with 'em :)
Heh, thanks guys and gals. I forgot how much I know about those first few weeks of taking care of a newborn :P
Two more and we have an ironman hockey team.
But what I'm *really* holding out for is just *one* to turn into a multimillionaire and take care of their folks in our old age...
Grats and egad! Enjoy the fat wallet you're gonna have for only a few more years -- I'm happy with 3, I can still afford 'em. ;)
Fat wallet? What? Where? I don't have any money, really. As much as I might be making, we always seem to be spending a little more than we make.
Which is a funny point to make - a friend came by to see the baby. She's complaining they can barely afford their bills. Now, they make 75% more than us but are no further ahead. In fact, after hearing the story of their eight-year-old walking across town to get to his dayhome because he accidentally transferred to the wrong bus (the one to take him to his own house), I think they might actually be living a worse lifestyle.
So, having a fat wallet is all about keeping track of what you spend as a percentage of what you make, rather than just trying to make as much as possible.
Congrats.
