A newborn Celeb-Reiki

Welcome to the world, Mars Merkaba, daughter of singer (and Reiki Master) Erykah Badu and rapper Jay Electronica, whose parents Twittered her Feb. 1 birth to thousands of their followers, beginning with a tweet from Badu announcing: "Morning, I'm in labor." Electronica kept up the tweets even after Badu got too busy to post, and then Badu followed up afterward, concluding, "I can't believe it's over. Home birth, no painkillers, about five hours, she was a little past due date, but I didn't mind waiting. Breath." The happy parents also tweeted their daughter's name to followers, but after that, Badu closed public access to her Twitter site, so we'll have to look elsewhere to follow the new arrival's progress from now on.
