A little boy was with his mother as she admired a neighbor lady's newborn baby.
"Man, is that thing ugly!" exclaimed the boy. "No wonder she was hiding it under her dress all this time!"

This isn't strictly in keeping with this thread, but it does provide another opportunity to show baby pictures, and shows some of the difficuties new mums and dads are experiencing right now, (even without silly comments to add to it):

I had to have an emergency C section and was knocked out as soon as he was born, I did hear him cry but did not get to see him. They were afraid I would struggle around if something was wrong. As I was blessed, he was perfect, no health problems.
A couple of hours later I woke up. My sister comes in "now don't be upset, he has a mole on his face"
I could not believe she said that. She knew what we went through to have this child and that doctors told us it would not happen.
When he was finally laid in my arms, he was beautiful, perfect. When he was about 23, the mole began to bother him when shaving. It was about the size of a pencil eraser when he was fully grown. He saw the doctor and they decided it would be best to remove it. I still miss it. I always said it was his father's mark of love. My husband mother's family all had moles somewhere on their person. My husband's was on the back of his head. He had a grey streak of hair there his whole life.
There is no such thing as an ugly baby. I like to think that there are no babies that are not loved and cherished.

My son and his wife had a hard time deciding on a name for their first son.
I told them to give him a name that exudes strength. Call him Mallet.
Little Mallet (not his name) is five now and a sweet little boy.
They named their second son Jack.

Hercules would have been a name to conjure with for their first, assuming his build sort of fitted the connotations intended, (though you don't meet many children being given the name I admit!
).Like the comment about the name chosen for son No. 2,(and he couldn't have been called "Nails", as in " Hard as nails", that would have been foolish!
).

- still lost between two shores..
My kids have a rather large age gap. When the youngest was born, one of the nurses asked me "Are you going to come back in another ten years and have another one?"
