[Jessica Ann Rettberg]

Jessica Ann Rettberg was born two days ago, on Saturday April 19, at 11:45 am. She weighs 3655 grams and is 50 cm long, and is absolutely beautiful. Everything went very well, really, well, you know, obviously the whole giving birth thing is extraordinarily hard work (just try relaxing through a hideous contraction so the baby can finish rotating down the birth canal) - but I had great support from Scott and the midwives at our hospital and everything went really well. We’re back at home and apart from her tendency to want to sleep all day and wake all night, we’re doing wonderfully. Here she is, just ten or fifteen minutes after she was born.

Jessica, ten or fifteen minutes old

Jessica hasn’t started blogging yet, but Jason Nelson made us a beautiful birthday present for her, look at this!

[intro to World of Warcraft Reader is online]

Our World of Warcraft Reader is coming out next month, and MIT Press has updated the webpage for the book with a complete table of contents and PDFs of the introduction, the contributors’ bios and the index.

We’ve had a bit of local media attention about the book, too. The University of Bergen’s internal newspaper has a great interview with Hilde and me about the anthology, and yesterday I talked with Bergens Tidende’s television program MM (Hilde was out of town). You can see the interview on their website - it starts 5:39 minutes into the program.

You might even get a glimpse of The Belly. Which is continuing to grow - only nine days left till the due date. Almost everything’s ready for her now…
