Well, I doubt many folks I know don't already know since it's been tweeted, emailed, and phoned. But just to make it official, I figured I'd blog, too. :)
Thomas Martin Bonaventure Little was born yesterday, 20 January 2009, at 1500 hours (3p EST). He came in at 9lbs (9.06, actually) and 20.5in, which is small for our boys. :) (John was 10lbs 3oz and Brendan 10lbs 5oz.) He is happy and healthy as is Christiane.
The birth was pretty uneventful, thankfully. We went in at 7a to induce; they started the Pitocin at about 9a. It was around 2:20 that the doc came in and was surprised that things didn't seem to be moving along, so I tweeted that he was being stubborn. A bit later, one of my friends, Neal Locke, said they were having the same issue, and he said he told his daughter to come out in his "daddy voice." So I thought I'd give that a try. I put my hand on Christiane's tummy and said in my firm daddy voice, "Thomas, it's time to come out."
Within five minutes, Christiane was saying she thought it was time, and it wasn't long after the nurse came in, confirmed, and we had Thomas coming out shortly thereafter. Good to know he is already obedient! :)
He seems to be a very calm, laid-back type of guy so far. Of course, they're always totally tired at first, so we'll see! I've posted the first batch of photos from my iPhone on our flickr feed:

Awesome, that's about the only word that comes to mind when I see the pictures. Congratulations. Wish everyone well from the Farriss' fam.
Thanks, guys! (I just realized today I didn't have comment notifications on; hence the late reply.)
