Ravenwood - 05/15/04 08:40 AM
Ravenwood's nephew came two and a half weeks early. Jackson Scott was born at 2 AM this morning and weighs in at 8 lbs. He has pneumonia in one lung, but doctors are saying that it is able to be treated and nothing to worry about.
I have not yet spoken with my sister, she is getting some much needed rest. I am pleased however, to see that she named him after two great Virginian Generals, Stonewall Jackson and Winfield Scott. (She hasn't confirmed it, but it was the first thing I thought of when I learned the name.)
I've never been an uncle before, but am already excited at the prospect of spoiling the little devil. I've got plenty of online shopping to do.
Down here in the South it's customary to ground a girl at birth, until she's 30 years of age. We get the boy's a van the day they turn 16.
All the best,

We got the call this morning! Give them our best when you talk to them.
That grounded till 30 thing happens up north too(unless its just because I'm from the south...)
I guess I better quit screwing around and mail the gift.

Hope the lung clears up quickly. At 8 pounds, that's a big premature child.
