Obsession du Jour:

We interrupt your blog reading with this special announcement. Chet?

Chet: Good afternoon, Stitchy. I'm standing here on the sidewalk in front of a local hospital with breaking news. Strange reports are afoot here, some claiming that a brand new person has materialized inside the hospital behind me. We've heard people say a young male appeared out of thin air, others seem to be referring to that "thin air" as "Kellee". Let's see if we can talk to some witnesses and find out exactly what's going on here.

Man with breifcase in front of his face: No comment!

Chet: Ok, well, clearly he knows something but doesn't want to talk. How about you, miss?

Woman in a nurse's uniform: Yes Chet, I saw it with my own eyes. It was crazy. First, there was this red-headed woman laying there in one of the rooms. I remember her distinctly because it seemed like she was willing to show just about anyone her nether regions. I'm not one to tell anyone what they should do in their private lives, but it seemed a little excessive, what with all the groaning and whatnot.

Chet: Yes, I've know women like that. Go on.

Woman: Well, I don't rightly know what to say. One minute she was laying there alone, and the next minute, this little person, a baby, really, was laying there. They said his name was Beckett Trent. She and her husband seemed pretty relieved to see him, it was as though they'd been waiting for him to show up.

Chet: Wow, amazing! So he just kind of showed up? This is one for the record books, folks.

Passerby with Crazy Eyes: Pssst . . . hey . . . I heard it was over 9 pounds with a head THIS big around! (holds hands in a 14 inch circle) It's 19 or 20 inches long and someone heard the red-headed woman refer to it as "a bit of a chunk". Pffft, I guess that's what they're calling shape-shifters these days. C'mon man, it's the only explanation!

Chet: Sir, that's a strong accusation. What do you base that on?

Passerby: Dude. (whispering and looking around suspiciously) Her perenium is intact. Shhhhh!!! . . . I mean, how else do you explain a thing like that?!

Chet: Well folks, you heard it here first. I guess all we can do is wish a hearty welcome to one Beckett Trent du Jour and hope that he is a kind and merciful supernatural overlord. We have heard that his caretakers, Kellee and Rick, are accepting their new station wonderfully, are in good health and spirits and look forward to serving his every need for the next decade ot two.

Back to you, Stitchy

Stitchy: (looking a little shaken) Ok, Chet, thank you for that incredible report. We hope to have some footage of this incerdible event later on. I'm Stitchy McYarnpants with News du Jour, thank you for joining us for this special bulletin. We now return you to your regular blog reading.

HOORAY!!!!! Congratulations and welcome to the world Beckett. Kellee, I am so thrilled for you and your newly growing family. I cannot wait to see you both in person.

My husband wants to know if your little one might be named for a ball player? He likes the idea.

Congratulations!!!

Yeah! Way to show your face little guy! Treat your mama and daddy well.

Good luck Kellee, the first few weeks are the hardest, but you can do it exceptionally well, I have no doubt!

Whew. I'm delighted to learn that Beckett possesses the good judgement to not be stubborn right off the bat. First impressions with the parents and all. You don't want to be pissing off right away the people who will be funding the college education -- or failing that, bail -- after all. Welcome!

Congratulations to the kind and merciful supernatural overlord's caretakers! And welcome, oh small but (I'm positive) powerfully lunged overlord Beckett Trent. We're very glad you're here.

And Stitchy? Dude. This goes in the books as the best guest post/birth announcement in history.
