World, Meet Ray. Ray, Meet World.
Ray Bueno Nayar, born 02 March 2006
At 18:32 today, the Wife and I had our first child, Ray Bueno Nayar. He weighs in at 6 pounds, 13 ounces (3.1 kilos), and 19.5 inches (49.53 cm). Ray is fittingly named after my maternal grandfather, who was and is one of my favorite people on this planet.
For those of you who have been following the drama, Ray’s about two weeks early due to some minor complications with the pregnancy. We’ve been in the hospital since Tuesday, but Ray and his mother are presently fine and totally healthy. As for his father… well… I’m so completely overwhelmed that I too feel like I have just been born.
A heartfelt thanks to everyone who sent well-wishes and who checked in with us in the last few weeks.

Welcome to Earth Ray! Tell your mother to skip the milk-thing and take you directly you to Portellos. It will make your father happy and it’s a big part of your heritage.

What a joyous relief; it was hard there not to worry just a little, in spite of your reassurances. It’s amazing how much he already looks like Dad!
Love & congratulations to all three of you,
Tom

Thanks everyone, for your congratulations and your well-wishes. Thanks to some time off work, we’re all settling in, or something like it anyway, and with any luck we’ll regain a sense of normalcy (or, again, something like it, anyway) in the very near future.

Heeell Boy- it looks like they done put Narayan in a shrinkin’ machine! Wow, Nara, you done growed him up good. He’s fabulous! And he wears his tomato hat so well.
We are so very happy and excited for you all. And the offer still stands to baby sit, fetch Vin Diesel movies, etc. Do they make bacon-fed-beef baby formula?
