It’s A Boy!

by Ben Yoskovitz

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.

#5 Ev Nucci

Ben, forgot to tell you which blog. Its Murphy’s Law Blog…http://wackymom.blogspot.com.

Again congratulations to you all! Best wishes. Ev

Welcome to the planet, Quinn, sorry we didn’t keep it cleaner for ya…Enjoy your stay!

#22 Phil Gerbyshak

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!

#23 Karen Putz

Congrats! He’s adorable!

#24 Ben Yoskovitz

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!

#25 Dominique Boucher

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 ;-)
