No, this is not another political thread ;)

Just in case you missed me - you DID miss me right?... right?? - just wanted to fill you guys in on some stuff going on lately.

The second Sideshow baby of 2008 has been born! Yep, 8 weeks early, after some really rough, and unexpectedly fast, complications and hospitalizations for the mom (that's me, for you n00bs ;)), my son entered the world, screaming the whole way.

Name: Dax Matthias Watkins
Birth Weight: 3 lbs, 5.5 ozs
Length: 17 3/4 inches
Birthday: Friday, August 29th at 4:36 PM Pacific Time

He's not quite ready for a full-on photo shoot, with all his tubes and wires, but maybe soon :) Dax is recovering well during his 5-7 week stay in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit), and Mom is doing much better too. Travis (dad and Sideshow Multimedia Manager) went through some scary days, fearing for both son and wife, but things are looking much brighter now - just have to keep Dax from getting sick, and the nurses have to fatten him up before he can come home.

The optimistic power of Hope, the relaxation methods of Yoga, and the miracles of Modern Science have pulled us through this rough time, and we are super grateful for all the family, friends, co-workers, and - most of all - the excellent nurses and doctors who have given us their overwhelming support over the past couple weeks. I know you Freaks would've been right there with them, cheering us on, but I didn't really have much of a chance to get on a computer recently... so now, it's back to work until Dax gets to come home!! :banana
