William Thomas Rudnitski Cooper

After 21 hours of labor, Kristina gave birth to a healthy baby boy. William Thomas Rudnitski Cooper arrived on March 14th, 2006 at 23:27 EST, weighing in at a healthy 3.59 kilos (around 7 lbs, 14 ozs).

I have more respect now for Kristina than I ever thought possible.

    Congratulations, and welcome to Will! Can’t wait to regale him with stories of his father’s misspent youth.

    I just heard the news. Congratulations to all sleep deprived members of the household! Sympathies to Kristina. 21 hours — sheesh. Your turn next time, right Coop? ;-)

    Congrats mom and dad, and welcome William (make yourself comfortable, etc.). I guess the fact that “William Thomas => Bill Tom =>
    Mbit LOL” is just a coincidence. Sorry if it isn’t :)

    Congragulations! I know you will make a great father to William and I wish you and Kristina all the best. Now, when you manage to sleep for a bit, we’re all expecting pictures.

    Best,

    Will is a lucky little guy to have two such wonderful parents! Thanks for a beautiful grandson! Love from Grandma and Grandpa (Gido) Rudnitski

    I miss planet.m.o for one day and look what happens!

    Congratulations to you both!

    Coop: what’s do you think the lead time on getting little Will up to speed on the Mozilla build system and Tinderbox will be? :-P

  18. Auntie Karen Mar 18th 2006

    From across the pond but beside you in spirit, congratulations. Little Will couldn’t be luckier to have two parents as loving as you, nor to have such loving family and friends at such a young age.

    And as soon as he’s able, he’s on that plane overseas! :)
