No, not the baby...a two-wheeled addition.

2007 BMW G650 XCountry, just over 10,000 miles.
Although I have not ridden it yet
because it is currently too tall for me, it will be my new commuter bike. We felt it would be more suited to my riding through goat trails and crap-covered twisties in the winter time. Being able to take luggage on the rack is another nice feature.
Dave did the test ride and pronounced it fantastic, very smooth and nimble.
We had the forks pulled through ~1 inch to help the height issue (didn't want to do more and affect the handling). The preload is very easily set for my weight with a simple dial. The last thing we'll need to do is shave the seat. We'll probably wait on that until after my long hiatus so it will be more comfy for him in the interim (someone has to keep the battery charged
).
Hopefully I will get on it for a short ride this weekend when he's around to catch me if I find myself on uneven ground. It is really light so that should help. I can't wait to try out my new bike.
Sorry the pictures aren't better but you know I had to post something. In case you're wondering the wet spots on the ground are from it being ridden home in a rainstorm.
and it came with soft luggage:
