Amazing Daddy & Husband

Mike is an amazing Daddy in addition to being a fantastic husband. He has a magical touch soothing our son when he cries, changes diapers lightening fast, and encourages me so much as I learn about being a new mom. All this on very little sleep.

Now that we're home, Mike is doing all the cooking and cleaning, while I recuperate from the surgery and learn about nursing. He's extraordinary!

Late night feedings

When Joshua is wide awake during the night, this is the adorable face I see.

Joshua is here!

Joshua was born on Monday, October 12th at 1:19pm. He weighed 7 pounds 13 ounces, with a length of 20 inches and a head circumferenceof 13 inches. I never heard anyone quote the head circumference as an important statistic before, but it really is. Let's just say that when people ask whether I had him naturally or by C-section, I can say both.

He is a beautiful baby and has a very good temperament. I like the way he stretches and squeaks when he wakes up. He'll wait patiently with his eyes open until someone picks him up. Typically, he cries to let us know that he's hungry, needs to burp, or has a messy diaper.
