Look at the amazing Zeke my US editor @skeetervm knitted for my daughter! Working in kids books is the absolute best.

It’s 3:26am, I’m holding a sleeping baby/poop bazooka, watching old episodes of Drag Race, holding out for the next feeding. It’s all good.

Some news. @nmjcoveney and I became fathers today. Our beautiful daughter was born at 718pm on May 2nd. Our journey has been long but filled with the most wonderful people. I am overwhelmed and weepy and she is perfect.
