My 4th and youngest arrived today. Audrey Grace at 8lbs 6oz, 21". This was particularly special because it's also my birthday today!

The hospital where we delivered has this treat for couples having a child... they "cater" a steak & shrimp dinner with all the trimmings, cheesecake, etc.

When the lady from the kitchen arrived at my wife's room, I noted that the flatware they provided included a butter knife, two forks and a spoon. Nothing even remotely sharp. So, my Case large stockman did the job on the steaks.

A birthday, a new baby, a good steak, and a classic knife. I'm not sure a day can get much better unless there's a way to squeeze in a little fishing or hunting too!

You said it, brother! When our first was born (she's five now) we too had a steak dinner, courtesy of my mom, though, not the hospital. I used my SAK Tourist to cut the steak and open the bottle of red wine that Mom and I drank and my wife sipped on a bit. That knife's been in my pocket for the birth of all three kids. :D

Congrats on the new addition.

Thanks for all the good sentiments, folks. We're all home now, and the battle for sleep begins. ;)
