I wonder if that would explain my cat often zonking out when I practice the pipes.

For cats it's a defensive response to torture.

Hey, is Eoghan pronounced sort of like Owen? Because there's lots of people in my family named Owen.

Good job on the baby. Tell him I said "Hi."

Despair, in any case.

I want too make a punny post about the baby being born
Justine time
but I already know it won't be as funny as it intuitively feels it should be.

I know I mustn't have been paying attention but I don't recall noting in the past the womanity of feadogin.

I assisted the delivery of all my children and its a nice feeling. I trust you are reposed in such a feeling, feadogin.

season's greetings!

Yep, it's pronounced "Owen." It's the old Irish way to spell the name. By a strange coincidence the last name of the midwife who delivered him is also "Owen."

I told him hi from you and he said, "Eh." (That is al he can say right now.)

But fortunately, at 18 they sleep all day, so there is some respite. Congrats and best of luck!!

Happy holidays, all.

Congratulations!

Hey Justine, you never told me we had a baby! What a surprise

But seriously, I wish you all the best and may he survive the pipes

Hey Justine and John, congrats!

Happy Christmas and Happy New Year to the new family! Maybe we will see you all next October in SoCal? (or sooner!)

I've had arguments with people over the "Owen" or "Ian" pronunciation of the name "Eoghan". Currently I think that if there is a fada on the O, then it is Owen (Eóghan). If there is no fada, then it's Ian (Eoghan). But maybe that should have a fada on the e...

Because an o without an accent is pronounced "uh", but an o with an accent is pronounced "oh". But then once you start including discussion of regional accents it gets really complicated.

Then again, if it's YOUR name, you have the right to insist on YOUR pronunciation, no matter how odd.

("It's spelled 'Fred' but it's pronounced 'Keith'.")

Redwolf? Where are you?

Congratulations to you and the Cavan man.

My own son, he's eighteen now, did not sleep through a full night for two and a half years but he is making up lost time now...

Slan,

3 months? No, it won't go on for that long

Maybe this wouldn't be a good time to tell you that out of 11, I've only had 3 sleep through the night before they are a year?
