Hello, Lulu!

Many congrats go to LibraryThing developer Mike and his wife Rebecca, on the birth of their daughter, the already impressive Lulu!

Mike liveblogged the event, so you can check out even more cute photos.

If you'd like to send happy thoughts, well wishes or scones, there's a thread here.

Lulu is the third LibraryThing baby born in the past month (Max and William joined the LibraryThing team at the end of March), and we still have two to go (myself, and Chris Catalfo) before July.

If you'd like to see all of the LibraryThing newborns, check out the rest of the LibraryThingBaby birth announcements.

Welcome Max and William!

Congratulations to John, LibraryThing's systems administrator, and his wife Lou on their new twins, Max and William!

More photos here.

That both were boys is a surprise—the doctors had believed only one was a boy. (William was going to be Willow.) Together with Baz (5) and Ollie (3), John and Lou now have a four-boy family, and more opportunities for John to perfect his Spiderman cake!

There's a best-wishes thread going here.

John's twins are the first of four LibraryThing births coming up in the months ahead—Mike, Sonya and Chris Catalfo are next! They will join three, now five, other LibraryThing babies. There is clearly something in the water.

Jasper!

A joyous welcome to Jasper Daniel Blachly-Nelson, born to LibraryThing's Librarian Abby (ablachly) and her wife Sara, yesterday at 8:56 PM—9 pounds 3 ounces, 21.5 inches long, 166 books!

Update: More photos on Flickr!

Update 2: Lisa and I visited Sara, Abby and Jasper at the hospital today. Everyone is doing great, and Jasper—cuter even than his picture—is clearly going to grow a weed.

Newest member!

Welcome to Katherine Evelyn Holland, born May 7 (6 pounds 11 ounces, 18.5 inches*), to LibraryThing developer Chris (ConceptDawg) and his wife Ashley. Mother and daughter are doing great. Chris has a "permanent smile" on.

*That's 3033 grams, 46.9 centimeters. Who says we don't do metric?

New lifetime member

Say hello to LibraryThing's newest lifetime member, Liam Patrick Spalding, born 5:24am 3/9/06. Mother and baby are doing well.



Liam thanks everyone for your support. It bought him a swell nursery!

Liam is fortunate that both his parents work at home (web developer, writer). But give me a few days before any new features are added, eh? For now, Abby (abigail@librarything.com) is handling user emails—she'll also be checking my email account. Austin (austin@librarything.com) is handling server issues.
