Drupal Love at Birth
I'm super excited and happy to announce the birth of my baby girl, Éowyn Grace Szrama. She took her first breath of fresh air at 12:09 PM on September 25, 2009. The event was live blogged on Twitter, so she was immediately welcomed to Earth by Drupallers and friends from all over the world. We'll be printing her up a Google Map charting them all for her nursery.
Daddy made sure she'd feel a part of the community from day one. I pulled my baby into the world wearing one of my favorite t-shirts (visible in the background behind her little Druplicon head) so she'd know that Lullabot loves her. I even had to take it off between hospital visits to preserve it for the big day (long story). 

Handing my little clay baby to momma under Lullabot's watchful eye.

For those interested, we've posted more pictures in a public Facebook gallery and will get some up on my Flickr account eventually. Thanks for all the encouragement and congratulations!

Enjoy the ride, it is fun ...

haha, thanks Khalid.
I actually found out on the Mac keyboard that option + E will give me the accent and another E results in É. Very handy.

Congratulations Ryan and the Lullababy! Probably for the best that she didn't get a middle name of Ubercart.
