Sofia Pascual Fristrom arrived; actually ten days ago. (11/27/04) I haven't had much time to myself, so I haven't posted since then. My time is spent helping my wife and, when there's a little time left over, sleeping. It is the worst crunch I've ever done, but it should be shorter than most of the crunches I've done, so hopefully I'll survive. One thing that makes it a little easier than your typical crunch is a crying baby gets your adrenaline pumping - if we brought them into the office they might be a useful productivity tool.
The statistics: 7 lbs, 8 oz; 18" long, 36 cm head. 36 / pi = 11.45, so I'm not sure how she made it through Cathy's birth canal. People who are into that kind of thing, and who don't mind jumping through Ofoto's hoops, can look at photos here.

Stuff I've Done

Got a minute? The first 3d Chrome Native Client game. 
A very, very co-op game for Xbox Live Arcade, developed with Richard Garfield and James Chao, among others.
Many say the best Spider-Man game ever. Even Zero Punctuation liked it.
My critically acclaimed, honorable-mention winning, self-published novel.
Stuff I'm Working On
- Prototypes
Various in-progress games, digital and not.

Congratulations!
It's a great feeling, isn't it?
Be prepared for even less sleep when she starts getting teeth, but when she starts saying "dada", it makes it all worth it. Hope your wife is healthy.
God bless.

"but it should be shorter than most of the crunches I've done"
Ah haha, I'm only at 5 mo. with ours and I already know this is so not true!
Congratulations and best of luck! We're looking forward to your return here at the office.

Heeey, GameDevBlog.com, Mecca of Recent Fathers! Kudos to you all. Maybe one day I'll get that whole 'baby-making' thing right. Off to find someone to practice with...

Congrats, Jamie! I've got a two, 9 and 13 year old boys, so I know a little about the, ...um, "fun" that awaits you. ;-)

Well done, Jimmy James! She's a beauty!

Congratulations! I've now have two daughters (2.5 yrs and 9mo respectively).
Don't worry if you're not in complete all-encompassing love with her yet. Dads enjoy the part when they're older, can speak, perform and respond, than the early stages. And those are sooooo rewarding!
For the first 3 months, all they do is sleep. Enjoy this time :)

I can personally attest from first-hand observation that this is the Cutest Baby Ever.
