Per RighteousBabe.com:

We’re happy to report that Ani gave birth to a 7 pound, 8 ounce little girl, Petah Lucia, at her Buffalo home early Saturday morning, January 20. Mother and baby are both healthy and happy.

You may remember, I had predicted twins, sort of.

At any rate, Difranco's legions of devoted fans will be happy to know, according to People magazine, she's planning on being back on the road this summer. More importantly, and in the meantime, congratulations to Ani and her man, producer Mike Napolitano. And welcome to the world, Petah!
