Congrats, Matt - never fear, you'll make up those steps, and many more, with little Freddie.

Congrats to you and Erin on the birth of Freddie. A beautiful story to share at this time of year especially. You will be getting your steps in other ways now!!

Thanks Peter! He's definitely a great early Christmas present. And yes, in some of the days since I've ended up crossing 10K steps without even trying!

Thanks Jeff! We definitely like it. Felt like the world could use another Freddie.

I teared up reading this and love that he has Erin's last name (!). Welcome, Freddie! And Matt, remember: one day he will screen your phone call. But until that day comes...kidding. You are going to be an incredible parent.

Aw, thanks Vass - so far so good! Fatherhood has made me all gooey and emotional. Cat's in the cradle, and all that... (His last name was always going to be Erin's, but after seeing her Amazon Warrior her way through birth, there was not even a shred of doubt left.)
