Introducing Simon Gabriel Rothman

Born at 5:30 AM today, weighing in at 6 lbs 3 oz. I uploaded the following embedded video quickly for distant grandparents:

Music is You Ruined Everything by Jonathan Coulton

Liz and Simon are both doing great.

I will likely not be blogging for a while and will be slower in answering email than usual. Thanks in advance for your understanding.

Tired and very happy,

-David

Sobbing quietly in my corner here.

You both look so utterly overjoyed.

I can’t imagine a better set of parents.
