Holding baby

Today was the second time we've been allowed to hold our son. We took turns sitting with him on our chests, skin to skin. It was nice. He's still so small i'm afraid to move him much or disturb his sleep. But he did wake up for us and looked us over real well to get acquainted. We leave the hospital tonight after his first bath, in 20 minutes.

Pit stop

Riding on two shots of espresso, i'm home to collect the items that would have been in our over night bag if we'd been prepared to give birth. Baby is doing pretty good. Just working on breathing and having strong lungs free of fluid. I'm off work for the time being. Nice to have a break but I sure wish we were taking our new son home with us.

It's a boy!

Last night we came to the hospital because my wife had started bleeding. Contractions were already under way and after a couple attempts to stop them, the doctors decided it would be better to just have the baby early. It's about 6 weeks early, and he required some respiratory help, but over all he is doing well. He weighs 5 pounds 3 ounces. His name is Asher.

Work day

Today we build the wicked shed. Hope it goes speedily.

I'm glad it's Friday

This week has been odd. Glad work is over for now

3 2 1 sleep

The past couple days have been sleep deprived. Problem is, when I get home, and especially after our son goes to bed, I can't see wasting all that good time asleep. It's time for the wife and I to catch up and goof off and get some house things out in order and what have you. Plus, a pregnant wife is a restless bed fellow anyway so sleep is spotty. My eye bags are huge. All practice for the upcoming baby I guess.

Good hair day

I didn't shower and instead used the kitchen sink to wash my hair. I also switched shampoos. It looks great, no?
