    What a delightful way to end the week! Quite a hefty dude too! I was only 7 lbs 6 oz. and I ended up being a world of trouble!

    Whew! I got the chills. Welcome, Baby J!! (We call our little man Dr. J, but hope that he won’t have such a reputation with the ladies as Julius Irving.)

    Thank you all. Will be uncharacteristically terse. We got home this afternoon and I had to add this visual to the update. More later, including a guest post from the KIABIL, aka Know-It-All-Brother-In-Law.

    Thanks again so much, konagod, llyn52, Trista, Ayelet, Whitney, Momai, Artsweet, Miarno, Katie, Dana, and LD!

  20. 20 LesbianDad Jan 21st, 2007 at

    Thank you thank you the KIABIL, waiting, Lizzy, Marypierce13, Blue Ox, and jon (& Rosie & Zoe & Fergus). My dilemma while kid #1 is spirited away by my sister: Clean yesterday’s dishes & generally tidy up? Nab some sleep, and find therein some composure? Or be a wacky fool and upload some more baby pictures, leaving the house a mess and my nerves even more shorn of that protective sheathing that comes in so handy in days like these? Hmmmmm….

  21. 21 anotherothermother Jan 21st, 2007 at

    Welcome, little one. You’re just beautiful.

  22. 22 Liza Jan 21st, 2007 at

    Oh! Congratulations! He’s adorable! Welcome to the world, baby brother!

    BTW, that’s exactly the same size Noah was when he was born. Big babies are wonderful.

    I hope you are getting a few smidgens of sleep and am so so so happy you posted a picture of this beautiful boy.

    Got cut short on the phoner with Junie Bozzy as the little guy apparently needed some boob. Anyway, I love you all so much and we Garton people congratulate you immensely on your new human. And generally, greetings from Minnesota.

    Yay! and Super Yay! Give that kid a big smooch for me please.

    LD's No on California Prop 8 fundraising

    Goal Thermometer no-on-8-cutie



    The time to step up is now.



    See that cute kid there on the right? My son. The day, this July, that my partner and I got hitched. It was our fourteenth anniversary. Help.

    Featured election news/analysis:

    From "Gay marriages in California surpass those in Massachusetts,", Jessica Garrison, on 7 Oct., 2008, at the Los Angeles Times.



    Data released Monday (6 Oct 08) by UCLA's Williams Institute found that an estimated 11, 000 same-sex couples were married in CA since June 17, when the court began to allow them. (Since May 2004, over 10,000 have married in Massachusetts.)



    Pastor Jim Garlow of Skyline Church in La Mesa, who has been rallying voters to pass the constitutional amendment, said: "The fact that there are big numbers doesn't change the reality that it is still bad for the country."



    Garlow, who along with hundreds of other Christians, is observing a fast until election day as a way to show his support for the proposed amendment, added: "There are enormous numbers of people doing cocaine right now. . . . Simply because large numbers of people are doing something does not make it right."
    "Foes of gay-marriage ban say poll shows Prop. 8 leading," by Jessica Garrison, 8 Oct., 2008, in the Los Angeles Times:
    The opposition has enjoyed a healthy lead in several surveys taken by polling organizations that do not have a stake in the campaign. But officials with the No on 8 campaign held a conference call with reporters Tuesday to announce that their own poll showed the measure would pass by four points. Opponents attributed the result to fewer television ads, which is, in turn, a result of the No on 8 campaign falling behind in fundraising.
    From Geoff Kors, Equality California, in an email to EQCA and No on 8 supporters, 7 Oct., 2008:
    Our worst nightmares are coming true.



    Today we learned of the massive $25.4 million our opponents have raised so far. They are using this war chest to broadcast lies: 24/7 and up and down the state of California.



    And the polls show the lies are working. We need your donation now.



    Yesterday’s CBS 51 poll shows that:



    “…likely California voters overall now favor passage of Proposition 8 by a five-point margin, 47 percent to 42 percent. Ironically, a CBS 5 poll eleven days prior found a five-point margin in favor of the measure's opponents.”



    People change their minds about Proposition 8 when they hear the lie that churches will lose their tax-free status if they won’t marry same-sex couples – EVEN THOUGH THIS IS NOT TRUE!



    So this is crunch time. With less than a month before the election, we must get on the air now to answer these lies and swing votes back to our side.



    And the ONLY way to do that it to raise more money. The generous $15.8 million that our supporters have given isn’t enough. Not when the other side has nearly $10 million more than we do and the fundraising gap is growing.
