This is a (co-)founders privilege diary, as it has nothing to do with Vermont, politics, news, or anything like that. After years of ups and downs in the effort, my best friend from back in Kentucky just had her first baby this week. Welcome to Adrian Rose Griffith-Mealy, who arrived Thursday, Feb 11, 2011 at 2:52AM – A beautiful, healthy 6lb 14oz baby girl.

And while I have pictures to prove that last statement, it seems a little inappropriate to post them. Instead, here’s a YouTube vid of the happy parents from just a few weeks ago. Laurie Griffith and husband Peter Mealy are a performing duo in Fredericksburg, Virginia, and as you’ll notice below, Laurie was up there on stage until pretty close to the last minute.

So, this is Pete singing his ode to the pregnancy… very entertaining.

Congratulations, L & P. That’s a lucky little girl to have such awesome parents.
