Birth Announcement!

Congratulations are in order as I am now the proud Mama of a brand new baby scud.  He was discovered this evening at 9:38pm, is approximately .5cm long, and sports a lovely white translucent color much like the scud below.  Named Garbanzo after the late 19th century boom in legume production in Sonora, I affectionately call him any variation of Banzee, BonBon, and Garbanzillyboop.  He enjoys scurrying from one dark hiding place to the next and has already made friends with the snails.  I think Ticker is a bit jealous of all the attention Garbanzo has been receiving, but I'm sure the sibling rivalry will wear off soon enough.


Wish me luck as I have never parented a newborn scud before!
Bon nuit!

I have never seen a scud birth announcement before. Where does one register for scudlet gifts? ;)
