Z Quincy
Sponsored By
Z Quincy Hanselman was born in classic style at 1:11am on his ultrasound's due date at 6lbs 12oz and 20.5in with eyes wide open and strong lungs. Start to finish was ~20 hours. Mother and baby (and I) are resting comfortably at Tuality Community. He has a head of black hair and a penchant for milk. Pics to follow on Scott's blog sometime within the next 18 years if there's ever time to use a computer again. All is as it should be. Good night.
UPDATED: Here's a photo of little Z just 10 mins after the blessed event. Also, here's a video of his cuteness. File Attachment: Z1.wmv (1590 KB)
UPDATED: Better pics of Z.Q.
The Name: Z is short for Zzinhle or Zenzwezinhle (contraction of Z ezinhle). "Hle" is a root meaning Good, as in Kuhle (Ndebele) or Kahle (Zulu). Z means "deeds" so his name means, roughly, good deeds, as in a good samaritan or "one who does good deeds." As far as Quincy, it's just a cool name, and who wouldn't love a kid with the initials Z.Q.?

Congratulations Scott! I'm glad to hear that all three of you are doing well.
Congrats to you and your wife! Get some rest and hopefully we will hear from you again before Zenny (hope you don't mind using a nickname already) goes off to college.
Congratulations. So are you closing up the blog, then? Or are you maintaining the illusion that you'll have time to keep writing it? :P
Congrats!
I'm adjusting my aggregator settings to look for your posts at odd hours for the next few years. We'll fill you in on how this whole Windows Vista thing works out.

Congratulations dude! Now I'm sure Z is probably a name with a deeper meaning in some language I'm not familiar with, but I couldn't help wondering if he's in part named after your blog... ;)
I'm so happy everything went smoothly and everyone is happy and healthy. My little one just started smiling at us on purpose, you can't imagine how happy that will make you but you'll soon know.
I would have read this post sooner, but we were just trying to get her to sleep. I also just noticed I have spit-up on my shirt.
Welcome to fatherhood dude!

Scott, congratualations! From what you said it sounded like another delivery right on schedule.
Does that mean we will be seeing Coding4Fun articles revolving around infant gizmos, like leapfrog stuff? :)

Congratulations and best wishes for you and your family! Having my daughter was one of the best things that's ever happened to me...enjoy your son as often and as much as you can!
Oh, and I hope you're taking time off work now. I took six weeks right after my little girl's birth and it was the best decision I could have made. Enjoy!

Congratulations! The first night home is an eye-opener, but it is the best thing you will ever do, and it keeps getting better.
Scott: your life has changed forever. Congratulations to your family.

Best Wishes and congratulations to Scott, Molar and Z! Scott welcome to parenthood, the worlds worst paying job with the best benefits in the universe!
I am so happy for and so proud of you. You will be an outstanding father, little Z is very lucky to have such wonderful parents. I can't wait to meet him the next time I swing home!
Wonderful! Glad to hear it went ok. Now kiss life as you knew it goodbye. It doesnt make who in the family thinks they are "wearing the pants" its really the one in diapers thats running the show! Enjoy!
Now you can enjoy the same late hours on a completely different, longer-term project. If you guys did your due dilligence reading C# to him in the womb, he should be profitable within the next couple years. Give yourself a decade, and a few more like him, and you'll have a nice little thing going for early retirement.
Congratulations to both of you.
Congratulations to both of you.
Hearty Congratulations!!!...I guess we will not be seeing much of you in the coming days..
Way to go! Welcome Z and my best to Mo! Jack, Tina, Gabby, and Gia Hanselman
Congrats Scott on baby Zenny. Although, if he grows up to be a programmer, he may be living with you beyond 18 years. :) So when will ComputerZ.com go live?
Wahoo!!!

Scott,
All the best for you and your growing family! That is wonderful news. I appreciate your flair for the "authentic", even down to the name. I hope that you and your wife experience all that this birth should bring you.

Does anyone else find it amazing that scott's family is more popular for gathering comments than Scott's articles of general geekiness? I wish I had the exact number, althought I'm sure it's much higher when there's a human aspect.
In other news. Your child is already #1 on google.

Just thought you might like to know you picked a VERY google-friendly name for the young man. I suppose I'll have to settle for one of the top 3 until I change my name to something equally as unique.
Congrats Scott & Mo!

Congratulations to the whole family. Its a great name to live up to, I'm really happy for you. With so many unwanted pregnancies you take for granted that each life is a gift from God. Its been quite hard for me to wait for our child over the years my wife & I been trying, but we know that the best is yet to come. Peace, Health & strength be with you.

I was 6lbs 12oz at birth, probably gained that much last week at the Thanksgiving table...good luck Z.
Scott, I'm sure you'll agree, women are as hard as nails!
Well done and mega congratulations to you both!
Well done and mega congratulations to you both!
Congratulations, Scott!!! I remember the feelings when my son was born. I offer some friendly advice:
(1) Enjoy him as he is as much as you can, because man, do they grow fast!!!! My son is already 2 1/2 and it's just amazing to me as to how much my little man has changed so much in only 2 1/2 years. He's soooo cute it's almost sinful. :)
(2) Teach him early. Read to him now, he'll love you for it, and it'll show later. My son was reading books at 1, now mind you, he wasn't comprehending and reading aloud mind you, but his way of reading is just awesome. At 2 1/2, he's reading a few words here and there. I have to also credit my wonderful, loving wife who is the best Mommy in the whole wide world. Without her, my son (and me for that matter) wouldn't be where he is now. Words can't describe how awesome she is.
You're embarking on a journey that is one of the most gifted, satisfying of all experiences. It just doesn't get any better.
Again, congratulations! All the best to you and your family!

Congratulations, Scott! There is nothing like your first (and many more after that) child.
Looking at Z's picture and being a programmer... I thought of this...
public class Z : Scott

I'm sure Z will have a lot of things that inherit from you! :-)

Congrats Mollar and Scott, what a beautiful blessing he is. Let the games begin!
Hey that kid's not only cute, he's lucky to have such great parents! Enjoy the days ahead - even the cranky ones. They're priceless.
