It's a baby!

And while we disreputable elements were out stuffing our faces and quaffing the majority of a restaurant's wine supply, I've just heard that Babs (my colleague) was at that very point giving birth to a baby girl - 5lb 14.5oz, and only 2 and a half hours in delivery (albeit a week overdue!).

As someone just said, like shelling peas! Well, probably not very like. And given the option I know I'd take the restaurant every time. But hey, congratulations!
