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!

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.
