It’s A Boy!

May 30, 2007

On May 28th at 12:25am in the evening my wife gave birth to our second son, Quinn Alexander Yoskovitz. Mom and baby are at home, doing great.

Quinn was 7lbs 13oz.

I rarely get into things that are too personal on this blog, aside from the occasional anecdote, but a lot of people were awaiting this news and this is the best way to get it out there.

I’m thrilled, ecstatic and exhausted. You can expect scattered postings here for the next week or so but there’s a lot going on, and I’m working on plenty of ideas. So don’t disappear just yet…stay tuned…

In the meantime, some pictures I’ll share with you of our new arrival.

    Ben, congratulations! There is no day more special in my mind than the day my children were born! Bless you both. Healthy is all you really want to care about.

    Listen, I tagged you in a meme on my blog. I'm not sure you want to do it. And if not, no biggy, but I wanted to let you know.

    Also, did you ever get my email? I hadn't heard from you so I figured you were busy...warning I get about 300 a day....so unless you the subject in the caps that its from you...I may never see it!

    Also, I linked into you on my blog, Murphy's Law. I hope you'll reciprocate.

  • What wonderful news. Congratulations!
  • Congrats, Ben!!!
  • Life is a miracle and your family is truly blessed to have this new baby boy. Enjoy him! :-)
  • Wow, congratulations to you and your wife :-)
  • Congratulations there! Usually people let us know the mother is alright when they talk about a newborn. Not that we don't care if you are tired! :-P
  • Ben, he is gorgeous! What does older brother think? Congratulations, and all the best to you and your wife.
  • Congratulations! Relax and enjoy this special time with your family and don't worry about posting:we'll be here when you get back!

    WooHoo! Congratulations! All my best to you and your whole family. This is a year of major change for you!
  • Congratulations, Ben and family! Hey, Alex - just wait; you have no idea what great things are in store for you, little Buddy!
  • Congrats to Ben & family! What a wonderful experience.

    Welcome to the planet, Quinn, sorry we didn't keep it cleaner for ya...Enjoy your stay!
  • Way to go Ben and family! Another little Instigator. How long till he's got his own podcast or (gasp!) video cast? Can we call him the Quinnstigator?

    Your nights of sleeping are OVER! Enjoy it!
  • Congrats! He's adorable!
  • Hi all -- Thanks for the well wishes.

    Little Quinn is sleeping right next to me. Doesn't seem to mind the keyboard clacking, so that's a good sign.

    Older brother Sam was wonderful today. It helped that Quinn brought home a fancy Buzz Lightyear action figure from the hospital!

    But Sam's amazing. He wanted to help and was a super champ. We'll see if it lasts...

    In the meantime, I appreciate everyone's well wishes. Here's to 4 hours of sleep per night! Yay!
  • Congratulations, Ben! To you and you wife! Take a few weeks off and enjoy your family life.

    And don't forget: the 25 first years are the more difficult ;-)
  • Ben & family,

    Congratulations! Cherish every moment. And don't drop him. I always like to add something practical! ;-}
