It’s A Boy!

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.

If you enjoyed this post, please share it!

    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 ;-)

    May Quin find much success, and even more happiness in this world. He shares the same middle name as my Nikolas.. and is just as handsome..
