Sign of the apocalypse?

And so it came to pass in the year 2007 that a child was born. That
child would be termed surprising by some [parents], amazing by others
[grandparents], and unknown adjectives by others after his late
August/early September arrival [hopefully 'healthy' 'normal' and
'cute'].

The message here is just what it sounds like: we are going to
be parents. We only just found out and we're 5 weeks into the last 9
months of this being a 2 person house. This means that the wine in
the house is now being drunk exclusively by me, and if my blog starts
to get a lot of drunken ramblings, then you know what's happening.

We are a combination of excitement, nervousness, dread, and
anticipation. I'm sure these are just the words my future offspring
will want to hear greeted the news of his/her pending arrival.

Apparently this is the year of my parent's grandchildren, as my
sister's first child will be born about two months earlier.

Thought everyone should know.
