BORN TO BE ALIVE

So wasn't it crazy last night on Lost when they went up to that security totem pole thing and --

Haha. Like there's any time to watch Lost when you have an eight day old BABY relying on you for his every need!

I can't type much now because it's hard to be wordy using only one hand, but I'll say that after 28 hours of natural labor last week and wanting to sue the crap out of the childbirth instructor who said ice on the inside of the wrist is like contractions, we've got a pretty cool little boy to show for it. Because he came out with his arm next to his head I'm in a little bit of crotch agony still, but other than that things are good. I have no idea where time goes, the dogs are a little bit neglected, and there is no joy like someone bringing you dinner when you've got a newborn, but things are good. And I'll write a little bit more about labor when I've got two hands.

8 lbs 13 oz. and 22 inches of baby. That's what was in my belly!
