Introducing Emma Michaela

by Mike Stoddart · 05/17/2006 (5:36 pm) · 14 comments

My wife gave birth to little Emma Michaela on 4th May. She weighed in at a reasonable 7lb 2oz and stretched 20.4 inches. She kindly gives me time to send emails and post this blog. Otherwise my time is taken up with changing diapers, sleeping, playing with her and giving her the odd bottle. How did I ever get by before she was born?! :)

Congratulations! Guess there's not much time for game developing, eh? Good thing my girlfriend doesn't want kids. :)

Congrats!
Although I do wonder how big she was before you stretched her to 20.4 inches ;)

This plan, and the comments make me realize just how geeky we all are.

Congrats! Don't worry, you'll have time to use Torque again in 18 years. Or whatever it's called then.. ;-)

My dev time has definitely come to a crawl... as of about a week ago with my 7-month old boy. And he's almost walking too!

Congratulations, it's a wonderful time, fatigue aside!

I was lucky; my little one just ate and slept all the time, that's how I manged to get the first 10 months of T2D done!

All the best for the future,

I don't know how people manage to code with a young un! She spent most of the day either sleeping or crying. I'm exhausted but I still love her! :) The only coding I managed recently is fixing tiny bugs on my website (http://wsframework.sourceforge.net - shameless plug) except I still haven't fixed the broken images yet.
