Everyone *is* doing well. Mom swears she's in great shape, has almost
forgotten the brief suffering (but *not* the hard work involved) in
birthing, Dad finally got some shuteye, and....just as we were hanging up,

stop calling it an "it" - lungs were in A1 shape to produce such volume at
such a tender age of 1 day. They thank you all for your loving concatulatory
purrs & wishes.
