Twitter employee Claire Diaz-Ortiz takes her job very serious. How serious? She used her employers micro-blogging platform to live-tweet the birth of her child. On Saturday morning Diaz-Ortiz live-tweeted that she was going into #Labor and then the tweets kept on coming.
The live tweeting for her birth started the moment she went into labor and continued after the birth of her daughter was finalized.
The tweets were sent out by her official account @Claire on Twitter and a short time later they were verified as real.

The birth may have gone off without a hitch but part of the story plays out like something from a TV series:
The live tweets were not just about delivering the baby. Claire Diaz-Ortiz also laments about forgetting her copy of US Weekly and wonders how she forgot to bring chocolate into the delivery room.
At one point Twitter users begin to ask questions and Claire offered this response:
As with any successful live tweet experience it had to come to an end. Here is the final result:
Welcome to the world Lucía Paz Díaz-Ortiz! And to Twitter, @lucia😉 We love you! #inlabor pic.twitter.com/GD2lhO1BzO

So there you have it, little Lucía Paz Díaz-Ortiz was welcomed into the world with love from her parents, and a whole bunch of retweets.
I vote that someone in Twitter’s HR department give this dedicated employee a raise.
