Congratulations, Danielle!

I just got word that Bob's cousin, Danielle, a regular visitor to The Kidney Bean, gave birth to a boy, Tommy, on Wednesday, the 25th. Sounds like there were some problems, b/c the poor guy had to spend awhile in neonatal ICU, but I understand he's doing great now. Congrats, Danielle!
