I'm a Daddy

Ronan Izrail Boren arrived on October 10th at 6:37PM Pacific time. He is twenty inches long and weighs seven lbs. Both he and mom are doing just fine. He has the standard issue ten fingers, ten toes, two eyes, and a nose.  Daddy is ecstatic and exhausted.  The experience was intense.  We went through ten hours of induction, three hours of labor,  and a c-section before hearing the cry that changes everything.

  1. [...] Ryan and Inna and the new arrival. Amazing things are kids, especially when they are that young, that reliant, that new. Of course when they get to 16, have a bedroom like a bombsite and an inability to demonstrate fine motor control the gloss sort of wears of ¤ Read (1) [...]

    Warmest congratulations to you and your family, Ryan!

    I know exactly what you mean when you say “…the cry that changes everything.” The only time in my life that I have been truly speechless was when I first looked at and heard my baby girl for the first time. I’m the one who sobbed like a baby! :)

    Best of luck.

    You must be really proud. Congratulations !!!

  18. [...] Die neueste Version von WordPress ist vor wenigen Minuten erschienen. Wichtige Bugfixes und Änderungen stehen diesmal auf dem Programm. Die Download-Seite ist in Matts Eintrag bislang falsch verlinkt, darum hier die richtige: WordPress 2.0.5 Download. Der Name Ronan kommt übrigens von Ryan Borens frisch geborenem Sohn, der hoffentlich keine Bugfixes braucht. Herzlichen Glückwunsch auf jeden Fall auch dazu. [...]

  19. [...] View the bug fixes and Mark Jaquith’s run down of the changes. We’re breaking the tradition of naming releases after jazz musicians to congratulate Ryan Boren on his new son (and first WP baby) Ronan. [...]

  20. [...] Another story is it has been nicknamed Ronan, for the first WordPress baby, congratulations Ryan. [...]

  21. [...] wordpress2.0.5终于发布了,如果不出意外,这个应该是wordpress2.0.x的最后一个版本。此次更是以Ryan的前不久生的儿子Ronan(first WP baby)来命名这个版本,呵呵。 [...]

  22. [...] And “Why is it called Ronan?” you ask… Well, it’s named after the very first WordPress Baby! Ryan Boren is Ronan’s proud father. Pictures are available on Ryan’s site: By Brian, October 27, 2006, 11:17 pm o’clock [...]

  23. Ajay D'Souza says:

    Read about Ronan on the 2.0.5 page.

    Congratulations on being a dad!

    He sure looks cute :)

  24. [...] E’ uscita! La nuova versione di WordPress è stata rilasciata ed è stata chiamata Ronan (come il figlio di Ryan Boren). La gestazione è stata lunghetta ma come al solito oltre alle correzioni (oltre 50 che potete trovare sul trac) ci sono alcune limature e qualche nuova features, maggiori info da Mark. Fra parentesi proprio Mark ieri pubblicizzava una serie di video su tubetorial intitolata 7 Essential WordPress Hacks. Adesso aspettiamo pazenti che i ragazzi di WordPress Italy sfornino la traduzione. [...]

  25. [...] The WordPress team has released a new version of the popular and open source blogging software. The new version, 2.0.5, breaks the WordPress tradition of naming releases after jazz musicians. The team named the release Ronan, in honor of contributor Ryan Boren’s son, who was born earlier this month. [...]
