You know what day it is, right?
The “Fool” Part
In preparation for April Fool’s Day, we decided to create a fake birth announcement (below). Melissa had already started getting messages from folks asking, “Have you had that baby yet?” — never mind that her due date was still at least two weeks away, and that most women deliver their first baby late.
Here is the “birth announcement” photo we created to go with our April Fool’s Day article, paying homage to Dallas’ (in)famous and often-complimented beard:
The “For Real” Part
And then on Friday, March 29th, Melissa went into early labor, and at 4:45 PM gave birth to a healthy, beautiful, skinny (5 pound 4 ounce, 20″ long) baby boy. For real. April Fool’s on us, perhaps?
So today, please join Dallas and Melissa in welcoming the newest addition to the Whole9 Family:
Atticus Stone Hartwig
Dallas and Melissa will be taking a few weeks off to spend with each other, and baby Atticus.
We can help you live the Whole9 life.

Congratulations and welcome to this wonderful world, little Atticus! Such a handsome little guy! Wishing you all the best from Germany!
I assumed from the FB post that he was born on 4/1, but he was actually born on 3/29! That’s MY birthday! I think that’s SUPER COOL. We March people are a good group if I do say so!
I hope you’re soaking it in and breathing in that yummy new baby smell. Congrats and enjoy.
March 29th is my husband’s birthday! Congrats to the three of you!
