I’m happy to report that Chaka’s wife, Danaka, gave birth to a healthy female Pakuni yesterday. Here is the news in Chaka’s own words:
Mabaka Maka arrived yesterday at 4:33pm, weighing in at 5lbs 10oz. Contractions started about noon, we showed up at the hospital at 4:10pm and three or four pushes later, there she was. She was considerate enough to be born in the hospital instead of the front seat of the car, but she did arrive too early for our obstetrician, causing her to be delivered by a resident and a med student.
To celebrate, I’m sharing some child-themed songs.

“The Child In You” is a great, great song.
