"Thanks guys for enjoying the gift of life with me," Eiki said on Facebook.
He said he is planning a BBQ to celebrate the birth.

I can't see why they thought this was a good idea??
Why? Seriously, why? A lot of people don't need or want to see that. I get that it was an important, special moment for her and her partner/extended family, but does the whole world need to see this?
You don't have to see it. But if you did want to, you could.
