It's about time!

Baby Hannah Teresa was born on January 10th at 4PM. 6lbs 13 oz.

She was 1 week overdue.
We got home yesterday afternoon and have been getting settled in.

My wife was very lucky, she went into labor at 6AM and the baby was born at 4PM after only about 30 minutes of pushing.
Last night we managed to get about 4 hours of sleep and we felt like it was a gift.
I don't know if it has really fully set in yet. IT's amazing when she opens her eyes and looks up at me, it's not something I can really describe.

So Work is letting me take off all of next week to be home with mommy and the baby and my parents are driving down from MA tomorrow to stay with us for a while.

Hmm I don't know if cool is really the word I would choose.

It was amazing and exciting and scary and emotional and stressful and a few other things all wrapped up into one. When the doctor asked me to cut the cord I really didn't even know what was going on I was so overwhelmed. I swore up and down that I would not cut the cord. I thought it was nasty. BUt when the time came they gave me the scissors and told me to cut and I just sort of did it without realizing what I was doing. It was all very sureal.

I loved every minute of it, well, except for my wife being in pain. But everything fascinated me. The baby coming out, the blood, the goop, the cord, sucking snot out of their noses, weighing them, stamping their feet. I loved it all.

Of course you could get your wife a tee-shirt that says "I got pregnant and all I got was this lousy tee-shirt."

episiotomy.

But I could see "Appease" being the new root of that work working with a new Mother at home. Appeasement would be very important.
