Thanks jax and B2LU! Man, he's 5 days old now. everything I was ever told about having a child, from the indescribable feeling of love and protectiveness, to the pain of watching your own in pain, and yes, even the lack of sleep
, we've already experienced in these few short days! He has ben colicky the last couple of days, but we changed his formula while mommy keeps trying to get him to like breast feeding(he's already developed a taste for fast and easy from the bottle-the TV diner for infants I suppose) and that seems to be helping. Anyway, here are a couple of pics of our new,perfect, baby boy(Thanks to God for a healthy child and no complications durring the birth! Thanks everyonef or the prayers!
):
Less than a minute old, and as you can see, I'm still verticle
! I didn't miss a thing. I even cut the cord. Mommy is loking at how big he is and saying,"Thank goodness for epidurals!"
Then they took him and cleaned him all up and checked his vitals, under the watchful eyes of the grandmas and grandpa, of course!
All cleaned up, with a very proud Daddy, and a very proud and tired Mommy:
Back from the nursery after a bath and making sure he held a good body temp. He's ours to keep now. Look at those cheeks!
I jump right onto my role as new dad, witht he honory first diaper change! I kept it cause I need to patch my roof(all I can say is WOW!)
Of course our child will also be a UNC fan( in fact he got his first tarheel durring the session pictured above-eeeew!)
"Dear diary. I'm almost a day old. Stll tired from the move."
Ready for the trip home, but how about a nap first?
... Uh oh, looks like he's nodded off. I better grap a quick nap too while I can. Thanks again for all of your prayers and encouragement
!
Blessings
