It's a...

...nother boy. Born on 2/2/08 (which is 2/2/08 if you're a Merkin) at 21:47 (although I think it was more like 10 to 10 because I want him to grow up to be a cowboy), and weighing in at 7lb 13.5oz, he will be called Magnus Andrew Shanks. He and Vikki are doing well, spending tonight in the hospital, but hopefully home tomorrow. Updates and pictures to follow.

Awesome news! Very happy to hear that mother, new son and family are doing well!

I love his name! Looking forward to the pictures.

Congratulations!

Fantastic. Congratulations! Love the name, but I'm not sure it makes a good cowboy name - "Wild Magnus Shanks"? Might work...

Thanks for all the kind words. We're all safely back from the hospital and I'll probably get round to posting some photos tomorrow. Vikki is planning to pen a post from her perspective - guys probably won't want to read that because it mihgt be icky. Also, Vikki wanted me to post this link because she thought the whole cowboy reference was too obscure. I give my readership more credit.
