Hello Boys

Johnny Messner, Kathryn’s partner of over 3 years, has announced that their twins sons have been born.  That makes their date of birth 21st August 2013.

Born at 7:57am local time (3pm GMT) Johnny sent the following Tweet 30 minutes later:

Kathryn and I had 2 beautiful baby boys at 7:57 today Baby A was 6 pounds 9 ounces and baby B was 6 pounds 13 ounces ! We are so blessed – Link

Congratulations to them both.

Update (25 Aug):  For reasons unknown the official line on the time of the births and weight of the babies differs from Johnny’s account.  As seen on the Official KM website and the report on Us Magazine (which appears to be the favoured press outlet of Kathryn and Johnny) both have the births at 8:12am and weights as 1 ounce more for both babies.  There is no clear reason for the discrepancy.  Personally I’d favour the accuracy of Johnny’s report.

Kathryn’s First Tweets

Looks like we finally get to welcome Kathryn to Twitter.

A short time again the Official Kathryn Morris Twitter feed posted two messages.  For the first time it appears that Kathryn herself is posting.  The two messages were:

This is my first official tweet…. most people that know me, know I’m not a big fan social media… – Link

and

..About ready to have our twin boys!!  Thank you for all the love that has come our way!!! babies.officialkathrynmorris.com xox – Link

avatar_002_360x458We certainly won’t be commenting on every Tweet Kathryn posts, assuming it continues, but we thought it was worth noting this sudden change.

I’ve already welcomed her and passed on best wishes for the impending birth of her twin boys.

You can follow Kathryn’s official feed here.

Big Push On Official KM Website

20130408_us_magazine_kathryn_pregnant_004As reported here a couple of months ago, the Official KM Twitter feed had a brief moment of conciousness and posted something.  At the time we noted that the Official Kathryn Morris website had gone into “Under Construction” mode for a while and returned with little content.

20130408_us_magazine_kathryn_pregnant_005Over night the Twitter feed again woke up, posting various links to the Official Facebook page.  Only one worked at the time I checked and it led to a post on the People magazine website about the upcoming birth of Kathryn and Johnny’s twins.

Presumably following on from that friend of this site Kareen_T (thanks again!) spotted that the Official KM website has undergone a further update.  It is clearly far from ready for prime time, with layout issues and glaring errors carried over from its earlier incarnation, but it has gained a lot of new content.  I’ll be posting more about some of that in the next few days.

20130227_sonagram_001The most notable item on the website is the Twins Shower page.  It is a Pinterest style page with various images, including illustrations and photos.  Taken from that set are the images you see around this post, including a sonagram image (right) taken back in February which is presumed to be a genuine shot of the Morris/Messner twins.  The other two images (one of which is huge!) have joined the Us Magazine set, even though they were not used by the publication.  They have all now been added to KM UK Gallery.

Name That Baby… And The Other One

plush_show_2013_007Normally I wouldn’t post something like this here on KM UK.  It’s basically site policy that I don’t.  But as Kathryn (sort of) asked I have to.  How could I not.

This site is about Kathryn’s career and public life, not her private life.  We stay clear of gossipy speculation about such things.  Posts about her pregnancy have been confined to the official announcement and the recent public appearance, which was very much a baby related event.

However, in the video interview from the Plush 2013 red carpet the subject of baby names was raised.  Kathryn’s response was, and I quote, “we’ve narrowed it down” and “we’re still open to a few more suggestions.

Never one to shirk from a challenge so far I’ve come up with:  Johnny Jr. and RichE Jr.  Not sure either of those is going to fly :-)  You can definitely do better.

Things to keep in mind are the fact that they are boys, twins and their last name will likely be Messner.  In England it is not a requirement that a child be given the last name of either parent.  A child can be registered with any name.  Despite that, it is tradition that a family name, normally from the father’s side, is used and I assume it is the same in America.

I’m sure that the parents-to-be have been through many options but maybe you can come up with a good one they haven’t thought of.  Who knows, perhaps we’ll be able to show them your ideas for inspiration.

Can you suggest a name or two?  Leave a comment.

Officially Caught Up… ish

003The Official Kathryn Morris Facebook page and Twitter feed was up late last night.  It must have been bit tired and confused because it did something very uncharacteristic: posted some news.  It has been almost exactly a year since the last output.

And what pearl of wisdom did the apparently official mouthpiece of the actress, which you’d think would have direct access to said mouth, have to bestow upon us mere mortals?  Kathryn’s pregnant.  With twins.  Something I believe was widely reported when Us Magazine and father-to-be Johnny Messner himself broke the news back in… ooh, when was it now… early April.

Let’s hope, for Kathryn’s sake, that the babies’ arrival is not so delayed.

Give it a few months and “they” will probably tell us about Kathryn signing up for the been, done and gone Surgeon General pilot (early March), or producing and starring in the forthcoming movie project Alice Sweet Alice (news from mid-April).

Of course you can get all this information in a much more timely fashion on one of the several Facebook pages that gets their content from this site.  Or save yourself a click by coming straight to KM UK.

On a connected note: a few weeks ago the Official KM website went into under construction “we’ll be back” mode.  Expecting a major revamp it was a surprise to see the site return some days later with just a picture, a contact form and a couple of links.  All in the same style as before.

As those behind the Official sites were also responsible for promoting Cougars, Inc. we have nothing to worry about…
