Congrats to Cameron Esposito and her wife Katy Nishimoto on giving birth to baby Yumi Young Esposito Nishimoto!
The itsy bitsy baby, Yumi Young Esposito Nishimoto, was born 5 lbs 5 oz, and the proud parents are reportedly “OVER THE MOON”, as they should be.
The queer comedian being pregnant didn’t slow them down though, it seems: Cameron performed a show a literal WEEK before giving birth. She also has a show called Four Pills about her later-in-life diagnosis of bipolar disorder on Dropout that you can check out while she’s on what I have to imagine is at least SOME kind of break for parental leave of sorts!
Congrats again to the new parents on their beautiful bundle of joy!
