Just wanted to let you know that Yesterday at 10:34 am, our third child, Toliman Jozef was born at 3545 g.
In keeping with our sad habit of naming our children after stars, Toliman is an alternate name for Alpha Centauri (Rigil Kent had already been taken ). From what I understand, it means "Shoot of the Vine" in reference to a staff carried by the Centaur entwined with a vine.
Thank you for this most excellent piece of news and congratulations to Mum, Dad and the new arrival – you make it look so easy and effortless, which I’m certain it is not.
We had a lovely time with you and the children at your home at the last BAS get together, thank you for making us feel so welcome.
Best wishes to everyone.
Cheers
Dennis

You may yet live to regret those words, Dennis. We'll play it day by day and see how it goes, thanks for the offer.
Thanks for all the congrats, but I have to point out that other than my initial input, and looking after the kids while Anne-Louise had an enforced lay-up, I really didn't do a lot about growing this child . All credit to earthlight.
We stopped at three, but we weren't naming them after stars! You've only a few trillion trillion to go?
Three is our limit too. Finding names that are not TOO off the planet (pardon the pun) is not easy, and we have a bit of grief with Rigil... can't seem to understand that the name begins with R and not N. However one suggestion I made didn't get far... Zubenelgenubi...
If we got a girl we had picked out Hadar's alternate name... Agena.
