Getting awakened in the middle of the night usually means bad news, but there is a special kind of tingly excitement when the phone call (or text message) announces a new little human.  So when this message came in a bit past 2am, I didn't mind that it woke me up.

Baby boy was born on July 10, 2009 at 12:26 am, 9 lb 7 oz, 4280 gram, 20.5", 52cm in Washington DC, USA! Happy dad and mom!

Congrats, Keri and Deric!

<disclaimer> Yeah, I probably shouldn't post a picture of somebody else's kid on the big scary Internet. I mean, the little guy isn't even six hours old yet. That's what friends are for, though. Right? </disclaimer>
