Clarification on the baby posts...

1) [livejournal.com profile] chriso did not have a baby.

2) Nor are we now Grandparents.


[livejournal.com profile] sidhedancer is a very dear friend of [livejournal.com profile] chriso and I.

She is one of our "virtual" nieces/little sisters.

When we first met her mother 5 years ago, it was "old friends who just met." And we were promptly adopted into their family.

Therefore we wanted to tell the world about her son's arrival.

As we have become Grand "Virtual" Aunt and Uncle.



As to the terseness of the post...

...I created the birth announcement post at 3:30am on my iPhone after a long busy con.

I am very VERY amused that you had to clarify those items.

Aside from some of the confused comments, we got at least one email in the form "Baby? Why didn't you tell me!!!!"

I was confused for a moment (since I get the headlines on "most recent first" and hadn't read about sidhedancer) but I sorta kinda figured that if chriso were pregnant that you'd somehow find time to mention it in a nine month period.
