On babies, congratulations and confusion.

First, many thanks to everyone who said stuff, however, I think [livejournal.com profile] dainul says it best:
/me is slightly confused by the people congratulating you. I mean, I'd hope you didn't have a particularly direct role in the proceedings.
I did nothing, all I did was turn up at the hospital. It seems weird to be congratulated; I guess it's just something to say I guess.

Still, mother and baby fine, he's quiet and behaved so far, apparently, and she's quite happy on the morphine.

Well...

The reason is there's a new family member to love and care for now. That's something that should be remarked on. It's an addition to your life and a good one at that.

Glad to hear your sister and your nephew are doing well.

*grins* I actually thought that when I posted my 'well done', it was kind of 'why am I commending him?" but by the time I'd actually thought about it, it'd posted. XDD

i suppose congrats is a strange, and misconstrued, thing to say.
