Dear Friends,

Our baby boy, Kiran Shivde Schatz, came into the world on May 1, 2007 at 5:56 pm, weighing in at 6 pounds, 12 ounces and 19 inches long. It ended up being a C-section delivery, which was not what we had expected but which went very smoothly. Mother and baby are both doing well. Kiran (pronounced KEE-run) is a sweet, good-tempered, beautiful baby who loves being sung to.

Thanks to all of you for all your support and encouragement during this amazing time. Kiran has many baby blankets and even more good folkie wishes from his Mudcat friends.

I don't know if I'll be able to check this thread for awhile, since I'll mostly be at the hospital, but I wanted to give you all the news.

Warmly,
Dan Schatz

Wonderful to hear some good news. Congratulations, we hope all continues to go well. Having had C section, I can reinforce the advice to not lift anything heavier than baby for 6 weeks!! Mind you... my baby was a whole bag of sugar heavier than yours!

You've GOT to post pictures!

Congratulations from 'Nanny Jacqui' to you all.

One thing I would mention - this baby is a Taurus, as is Kendall.....

Just thought I should warn you!

Well, just so the kid doesn't look like Kendall........Geeziz.....I just got a chill from the very thought.................and now I'm becoming nauseous.................

Congrats though on the real Kiran........sorry about the bad dream interlude. That was Jacqui's fault.

Thanks for all the good wishes - I'll print these out and give them to Geeta. It may be awhile before I can figure out how to get pictures posted, but we'll get them up eventually. A few people who may have more time for such things than I already have some, so perhaps they can post them on Flicker or what-not.

Mother and baby are still doing well. He's a joy to be with.

Dan - you might want to print out an extra copy for a "baby book" - could make quite an impression in later years when you can prove to him he had a "birth known 'round the world"

Pretty damned exciting, if you ask me! I'm eager to meet our new family member, so I'm planning on going up to Pennsylvania this coming weekend.

I have seen a couple of pictures (Dan emailed them to me), but I'm such a techno-klutz I'm not even going to attempt to post them. But take my word for it -- he's gorgeous! I'm sure we'll have pix on line before long.

Becca, if you think YOU feel old --- I applied for Medicare and became a grandmother on the same day!

Thanks for all the good wishes, folks!

Here's some information about the meaning of the name Kiran:

"The boy's name Kiran \k(i)-ran\ is pronounced keer-an. It is of Hindi and Sanskrit origin, and its meaning is "beam of light"."

What a wonderful meaning!

Congratulations to you, your wife, and your family.

And may your child wear his name proudly!

No problem- a Banjo-uke makes a good baby tenor...


And a dulcimer is no problem, either... And a viola would make a good baby bass, with a little work.

Welcome to earth, Kiran! It's clear you chose your family carefully and well!

Dan and Geeta, I can feel the love, joy and wonder the two of you are beaming at the baby right through the computer screen!

We want pictures! Get Grandma to post them:^)

Well, Kiran met his Grandma Nancy this weekend and they got along famously! (Well, it's famous now since I've posted it to the internet.) He is an absolute joy to be with - still. And eventually the pictures will come - we have a beautiful one of Kiran with his Grandma!

It will take a little while, though - we are still running around figuring out what we need more of, learning how to do things for the first time that eventually will take no time at all, and spending time with the family and friends who have dropped in to visit!

Thanks for all the good wishes.
