Bucky has arrived!

Ross called me just after 7:00 pm (PST) to tell me that he is a dad. He said he has a son and that both Clare and the baby were doing great, though everyone seemed a little bit exhausted.

Clare said she was going on adrenaline, and she expected that as soon as they took Bucky to the nursery she would fall asleep instantly. She sounded happy and very emotional as she told me how loud Bucky was when he made his big entrance. While we talked on the phone she was holding him. He wasn't crying -- she said he was just looking at her, scoping out the situation.

We all have to keep waiting for a name. Ross said they're still discussing it and Clare said she wanted some time to look at him and figure out who he is. Like it or not, this kid is going to be known by "Bucky" for at least a little bit longer. Some of us might have troubles switching to anything else, anyway.

I was so excited that I forgot to ask anything about how much Bucky weighs or how big he is. After a long day of nervous waiting, I was just thrilled to hear that he made it, and preoccupied with the sound of awe in Clare's voice. I hope it's not too long before I get to see Bucky and his parents in person.
