John Scot Micajah McKay, Jr. was born on 11/17 at 9:12p, weighing in at 7 lbs., 4 oz. Everyone is healthy and happy, and we’ve had a house full of people since.
Actually, we’ve had a house full of people since well before “Junior” was born. Emily decided to have the baby at home, which proved to be an amazing experience that after some initial reticence I now have to endorse 100% having lived it. Basically, I was this kid’s obstetrician–with full support from the “dream team” of midwives. Besides having the joy of literally catching my son when he was born (who slimed me good at the time–that’s my boy), being able to take bubble baths, watch football and do walks around the neighborhood during the early part of the process proved immensely more appealing than hanging out in the hospital.
All of this is highlighted even further by the fact that Emily was in labor for 27.5 hours. Besides being beautiful and a sweetheart, she’s strong and determined. And despite a natural childbirth, she didn’t complain once. I’m telling you guys, you get the right one in your life and “retiring” from the game is a no-brainer…as long as the decision is yours.
Here are some more “before and after” pics for you. Emily and I both truly appreciate all of the notes we received from many of you over the course of the last nine months. We’re thrilled to welcome “Junior” into our lives, and you can rest assured we plan to raise him up to be a man of high character, real masculinity and genuine confidence.
By the way, he is named “Micajah” after his 7th-great grandfather who died at the Alamo. Being a direct decendant to a “defender” and having been born right here in “Santone” would make that a seriously cool name, for those of you keeping score at home. Besides, he’s got the marketing-friendly alliterative initials working which you really can’t beat. And if he is humiliated anyway, he’s got other options to choose from that have served his old man well so far.
And yes…how useful would all this be if I wasn’t handing out “cigars”? This is a momentous occasion, calling for an equally momentous coupon code. So here goes–simply go to www.deservewhatyouwant.com and get any e-book or program (including Online Dating Domination or–yes–even VIRTUOSITY) using the coupon code CIGAR50 when you order, and I’ll give you 50% off. I’ll keep this coupon active until the last football game is over on Thanksgiving Day, which seems about right. Either I’m in a good mood or the “diaper fund” is clouding my thinking, so enjoy that special opportunity.
Be Good,
Scot

Hey Emily, Scot and Baby!!
Congratulations!!!
May the Lord bless you all.
Baby Scot, welcome to the world 🙂
Hello Scot,
I love you my wonderful handsome husband. Thank you for a great life. Great men, who are giving, kind, emotionally strong and supportive, funny, and full of life like you are rare and hard to find…but not impossible.
We will always have a happy world together.
I love you. :->
Your Wife,
Emily
Congrats on your darling little boy!

Scot and Emily – again, and more publicly this time, many congratulations on the arrival of “Mic-Mac”!
I’m struck by the journeys you two took to meet each other, and the journeys you’ve taken together, now leading to a very tangible (and cute!) symbol of your love.
He carries a highly auspicious birthday, nonetheless. But I am biased. LOL
Hey Scot!
“Junior” is seriously too cute! You guys are so awesome. It was really great to “work” with you and to watch you catch your baby. It makes you want to do it again every day, doesn’t it? You found yourself an amazingly strong woman, Emily is awesome; someone we can all look up to for her power.
Happy baby snuggling!
Monica
Thank you to everyone for the well wishes. We have been overwhelmed with e-mails and private messages. Apparently most people are shy about posting blog comments. No worries…we appreciate every single one of you.
BTW, Monica was part of our “dream team” of midwives.
You know, looking at Emily all “barefoot and pregnant” like that, I can’t help but notice we bear a striking resemblance to Betty and Barney Rubble.
Rock ‘n’ roll! Congrats, man!
