On January 18, 2008 at 7:23 Eastern Standard Time, Josh and I welcomed James Oscar Hillerup to our family. He weighed 8 lbs 6oz, and was 20.5 inches long.  The labour included highlights, like eating bacon in the jacuzzi and a good supply of Entonox. Pictures are up on http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=86813&l=28719&id=810480073

For those of you anxious to meet James, we are opening our home on February 16 from noon until about 6pm. Everyone is asked to bring a potluck item if possible, as I may not have the time to prepare glorious hors d'oeuvres for you all. Please message me for directions and details.
 
Feel free to pass along this invitation to anyone I might have missed inadvertently.

Congrats, new mommy! Can't wait to see the result of your hard work! :)

Hmm, what kind of food to bring? I know I was talking about those little mini taco things before, but that sounds way too fiddly right now. Would something arriving with its own crock pot be too much?

Nope, that should be fine.

Congratulations, mamma! So happy to hear that y'all are doing well!!!

Colin and I will be in OT on the weekend of February 16th... Would love to help warm your new new abode and cuddle lil' James!!! We will be sure to bring some yummables with us to the gathering on Saturday.

Congratulations again, momma bear!
Poifect timing, btw, for your little soiree, as G and I will be visiting his in-laws(!) in C.Place that weekend (little does he know...heh heh...).

When you have a spare five seconds, send me a "tell" as to what you and Josh would like me to bake and bring treats-wise.
The sky's the limit! (also limited to anything that I can actually transport from TO to OT without damage or spoilage...*g*)

Soooooo pleased for you two! Give the sprogling a kiss for me! *squee!*

I'm partial to insanely rich chocolate things myself (although I don't eat them in large quantities usually).
