Welcome Baby Brownpau!

June 15, 2016 4:41 PM

The wonderful brownpau and his sweet and talented wife (who, to the best of my knowledge doesn't frequent these parts) welcomed their first child last Thursday. Mother, child (code named Project Wallaby whilst en utero), and daddy are all apparently doing well. I'll let brownpau himself decide if he wants to share more. All I will say is they are awesome people, and I know will make great parents. Congrats!

Hello, baby!

Hello, baby. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, baby—God damn it, you've got to be kind.

Current MeFi Baby Count: 27.

Aw shucks, thanks everyone. This kid turned out pretty well and I'm thoroughly impressed with his generally mild temper and prodigious milk-to-poop conversion rate. I have a blog entry up about the birth with an FAQ but if anyone has any other questions I'm happy to answer them.
