Note from the Publisher: Welcome Katharine Patricia Chung Wilkins!

Jen Chung would be putting up this post, but she's been away from her keyboard today having a baby! Katharine Patricia Chung Wilkins was born at 2:38 pm on January 3, 2010— stats so far: 7 pounds, 1.2 ounces. Surprisingly, the baby does not resemble the projection that the Gothamist graphics staff created earlier this month. Jen writes: "Fun facts: Exactly two weeks early; had umbilical cord wrapped around her body twice; Chung is her second middle name; seems to endure my off-key singing."

In related news, Jake will be taking over as Executive Editor of Gothamist for the next few months while Jen takes some much-deserved maternity leave.
