This is Arlo. He wasn’t due until the 10th, but he decided to join us early this morning. The midwives showed up at the house at 1:03 AM, and he was born at 1:12 AM. I’ll share more tomorrow, but I wanted you all to know that both mother and son are doing great.
[note: He wasn’t named for Arlo Guthery, or any other Arlo known to man. He is his own person.]

What a beautiful new nephew!!!!! Congrats to all of you. Clementine is now the big sister. Keep us posted and keep the pictures coming.
Love you all,
Aunt Carol & Uncle Bill
That’s wonderful! Happy for you, all 4 of you!
Blessings all around!! Arlo is beautiful. I can’t wait to see him in person and give him that grandma kind of love!!! Congratulations to you all. Clementine is going to such an awsome big sister – a truly beautiful family. Love you all!!
Congratulations Mark. Great name choice as well.
Yes, that is a good name. It was good that you named him Maynard.
Congratulations to all of you! I always liked the sound of “Arlo”.
Congrats!! Let us know what the family needs (meals, whatever). I love the name Arlo!! So happy for you all :)
That’s great, great news, Mark! Thanks for sharing. I’m so happy for all of you. Glad you didn’t have to try to get to a hospital!! :)
Congrats! and get ready for the Arlo questions. Our Son is Arlo and we get quite a bit of Arlo Guthrie questions.
Congratulations!
Gorgeous! Arlo is such a great name, congratulations!
So happy for you all. Welcome to the world, Arlo.
I just looked at the times. Linette should win a prize for speed birthing. She delivered Clementine pretty quickly, but wow!
congrats Mark!
WOW what great news! I didn’t realize Linette was “on the nest,” to make a seasonal reference. Now there are two infant Arlos in Ypsilanti. The other lives at the split of N & S Congress. I think it’s just more evidence of how great Ypsi is. (We also have a JunA and a JunO in our neighborhood–always pronounced with second-syllable emphasis to distinguish them.)
Congrat Mark & Linette et al!
Congratulations, you guys!! Great to hear…
Glad to hear he’s not named after Guthry, who is a Republican, if you can believe it.
Congratulations to your entire beautiful family!!
Congrats! Now hurry up and go buy that boy some GI Joe dolls, cammo onesies, and some toy guns before they all sell out at Toys R Us.
All joking aside, welcome to the world Arlo. 8 minutes? That’s not even enough time to boil water! Hope mommy is doing well. Clementine will hava a blast with a little bro.
Congratulations! Can’t wait to meet little Arlo!

Congrats Mark, Linette and Clementine!! He’s so beautiful :)
Congratulations!
Great name.
Arlo is a pretty good name, although I might have gone with an alternate spelling to make it a bit more evocative, personalized and refined: Arlowe, Arlough, Ahrloe, or, better yet, Arleau.
(I have some suggestions for a re-conceptualization of “Maynard,” too, if you’re interested.)
He looks great. Very glad he’s here, and you’re all healthy.
When does Arlo’s Ypsilanti Entrance Interview get posted?
And congratulations.
Has Newt shown up yet to tell him to get a job?
1 more on the winning team. Congrats!
Wahoo! congrats! And welcome to Ypsi little Arlo!
What a beautiful addition to an already beautiful family! I am so happy for you all.
Congratulations! He has the same birthday as Britney Spears!
And the search is on for some bootleg Winnie the Pooh, the early stuff, before honey raids went mainstream.
aww :) you two make pretty damn cute babies. congratulations! so happy :)
Welcome to the world, Arlo! Can’t wait to meet you!
Oh!!!!!
Sister and brother are very beautiful to see.
What a lucky place we live. Welcome Arlo!
Congratulations! Simply awesome, of course!
congratulations! so happy for you and your family!
Congratulations! What a great holiday present!

[…] sure, at some point, he’ll ask me to scrub this site of any mention, for instance, that he was born in our dining room, with his sister helping, but there are a few things I’d like to mention, just so they’re recorded somewhere. […]
