Congratulations are in order

From Kevin's myspace (via starafar):

At 4:56 a.m. Tuesday morning ( 7/3/07 ), our son Mason made his entrance into the world. He is a healthy 8lbs. 2 ounces / 20.5 inches long and has a head full of dark hair. He and Kristin are perfect and I am a new man. Thank you for your positive vibes and prayers.

Peace and love,
Kevin

How wonderful :)

Aww yay!!! I'm so happy for Kevin! I know he will be a fantastic dad. I can't wait to see pics. :)

How exciting for them!

Awwww... I like the name Mason, it's not too common, but not wacky either.

whoa. How did I have no idea that Kristin was THAT pregnant already!

That's fantabulous! And they gave him a normal name!!! yay!

Wow, I didn't even know a kevin jr. was percolating. Awww.

There was never a big official announcement, the news gradually crept up on fandom through a translated interview with Brian and other sources. Kevin probably only posted in myspace because he posted a few days ago to deny stories that the baby was already born.

But yay for the Richardsons :)

I hope the baby doesn't have his eyebrows ;)

All I can think of is how happy he's sounded in the past talking about hoping to have kids someday. Yay for Kevin and Kristin! :)

Mason Richardson...possibly not the combo I would have chosen, but Mason is a good name.

The whole thing has been very quiet (yay for them!), but finally fandom can stop asking "when are Kevin and Kristin going to have a baby?" (as if families can't hassle you enough? *g*).

YAY! That's so wonderful! Mason is a great name.

I was wondering whether the son being named Mason Richardson was a bit odd, lol. But Richardson's a fairly long last name, so it doesn't sound as weird as it could have been, I think.

Yay!!!

OMG, I had no idea Kristin was pregnant period! What a lovely surprise for me and I'm so happy for the new parents and their bundle of joy. Now that we have two Backstreet baby boys we're in dire need of a girl. ;)

And my first thought is (inappropriately enough) does he have the eyebrows?

[kaethe.livejournal.com]

Awesome for Kevin and Kristin! I bet Kevin will make a wonderful dad.

I didn't even know they were expecting. I've become a bad fan...

It's not been talking about much on LJ, probably because we never really got official confirmation, it just gradually became known through an interview with Brian, a blog post, something AJ mentioned etc.

Your comment encouraged me to make me next post ;)

Clearly, either Brian and Leighanne or Howie and Leigh are the obvious choices to hassle for a baby BSB girl - I'm not sure fandom could handle it if AJ or Nick reproduced ;)

[alasen.livejournal.com]

I was going to comment and ask if it had :)

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Yeah, something like Mason Simpson would be a bit much, but Richardson is long enough to work :)

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

I was just glad I wasn't the only one thinking it ;)

I'm happy for them, and love the name.
