Giving Birth via Twitter - Technology Evangelist

This morning was the first time I've ever received a one-word Twitter message with that said so much: Crowning.

Marc Nathan of Bulldog Financial in Houston spent this morning with his wife at the hospital while she gave birth to a daughter named Naomi.

The Tweets started arriving around 6 hours ago, with one of the funniest coming at approximately 6:30am:

There's no turning back now - our parents have been called about the labor and given a one hour timeframe

That's right. Marc's Twitter friends knew that his wife was in labor before his parents. I imagine this is because he didn't want to wake them before they would be in a position to do anything, but it's still pretty funny from my vantage point in Minneapolis. Did they make it in time? Yes.

After missing his 8am meeting, Marc decided to stop Twittering long enough to make phone calls to non-Twitter using friends to spread the great news.

Here's a screenshot of the Tweets from labor pains to recovery room:

Congratulations to the Nathan's and welcome to the world, Naomi.
