Edit: Happy April Fool's Day, everyone. Rest assured, if the wife and I ever plan on having -- or are taken by surprise with -- another one, and it so happens to be a boy, we'll give the name Marvin-Curtis some serious consideration.

Last week, I mentioned that I have some big news to share. I really wanted to make the big announcement sooner, but there were some complications which arose, and I decided to wait until everything was 100% OK. Sharp readers may have caught a few of the subtle hints I dropped, though.

Things are fine now, so here it is:

My wife and I are very happy (ecstatic, even) to announce that we are parents. Again.

That's right; our second child, a son, was born in the early morning hour of 2:33am, on March 25th. I had wanted to spread the news then, but as I mentioned there were some concerns which arose at the time, because the baby was 3 weeks early (in contrast, our daughter was 2 weeks late; can't these babies stick to the schedule?).

Yesterday, our new little guy (named Marvin-Curtis, after 2 of my favorite singers) and my wife were able to finally come home from the hospital. You may have noticed that I had some free time last week (more than usual, I mean); that's because I stayed home from work and looked after the little girl. No mean feat, for sure, but we had a blast, and she's really, REALLY excited to have little brother at home now.

As am I. The wife and I are both beat like Neal Cassady, but of course it's all worth it. I hope all of my valued Psychedelic Kimchi readers look forward to reading more about Marvin-Curtis in the future as much as I look forward to writing about him.

Kids rock.
