Its a boy!

[Erik Andersen <andersen@xmission.com>]

I am pleased to announce that on Tuesday March 28th at 5:48pm, weighing in at 7
lbs. 12 oz, Micah Erik Andersen was born at LDS Hospital here in Salt Lake City.
He was born in the emergency room less then 5 minutes after we arrived -- and
it was such a relief that we even made it to the hospital at all.  Despite the
fact that I was driving at an amazingly unlawful speed and honking at everybody
and thinking decidely unkind thoughts about the people in our way, my wife
(inconsiderate of my feelings and complete lack of medical training) was lying
down in the back seat saying things like "I think I need to start pushing now"
(which she then proceeded to do despite my best encouraging statements to the
contrary).

Anyway, I'm glad to note that despite the much-faster-than-we-were-expecting
labor, both Shaunalei and our new baby boy are doing wonderfuly.  Sorry for my
decreased level of contribution of late, but I suppose I have a pretty good
excuse.  :-)

 -Erik
