Get a Rice Baby for that new Rice Daddy

Here's a thoughtful gift for that new rice daddy in your life.

From a second-hand description someone forwarded me, maybe from trendwatching, (the original site's in Japanese):

"Yosimiya is selling bags of rice printed with a newborn's photo, name and date of birth. The bags are shaped to resemble a swaddled baby. But the key feature is that the bags contain the baby's exact weight in rice. Holding the bag will therefore feel like holding the baby. Bags of rice with baby's photos printed on them aren't new in Japan, by Yosimiya is the first to make them to order, creating bags that match the baby's size and weight."

awwwwww

Hey, RakuMon... Don't tell anyone I told you, but...

You're now officially Rice Daddies' designated "expectant" dadblogger.

*shhh....*

Okay, yeah, I know I shouldn't steal his thunder, but I'm too happy, so I gotta let y'all know that our own Dr. Lo Siento is a daddy now! OBmommy [hey, he never gave her a nom de blog, so they can change it later] gave birth to a healthy baby boy at 2:11 this morning. Both mom and baby are doing well [as is the big poppa].

Speaking of "big"...

The little dude weighed in at 8 lbs, 4 oz, and was 21 inches long! If you've ever seen a photo of Dr. Lo, you'll understand why I'm expecting, shall we say, an abundant cranium on the child. Heh. We get to meet him tonight!

Welcome to the world, little buddy! And welcome to the club, Doc. Your world ain't never gonna be the same....
