Arrival

We're home - we having expanded by the arrival of Noah Benjamin, born at 38 weeks and weighing 6 lbs 2 oz - so a small baby, but not dangerously small. He had Apgar scores of 9 and 9, which means he was in really good shape, and he is currently learning about opening his eyes, feeding, and the taste of his own hands without amniotic fluid. And diaper changes. And clothes. And that the world moves if the person holding you walks around. All kinds of confusing sensory information.

As far as I am concerned he's tied for most beautiful baby ever with Emily. But you knew I would think so.

He has sandy blond hair.

Birth story soon to come.

Breastfeeding is surprisingly hard.
