Just a general FYI to announce that dKos community member Asskicking Annie, aka Anne Haygood, gave birth to her daughter yesterday, right on time, pegging her due date right on the nose. Edith Charlotte Haygood Delpy was born at 01:59 -- just a minute before the bars close -- on May 1st, weighing 7 pounds, 3 ounces, and measuring 20 inches in length. Mother and daughter are both doing just fine; in fact, Anne's obstetrician declared Anne's delivery the smoothest and easiest she's ever seen from a woman over forty.
So, one of the many questions confronting us as new parents is this: what username should little Edith get? Should we see if Asskicking Edith is available (ALREADY it is clear that the infamous Haygood asskicking trait has been handed down...)? If you've got any suggestions, leave 'em here.
But seriously...
Both of us are very concerned about the world our new bairn will grow up in, and we are very glad that an online community like dKos exists to protect -- literally -- truth, justice, and the American way. We are looking forward to the day young Edith becomes a participant in this community.
