Happy Birthday!

October 29, 2008

It’s a late announcement, but I’d like to formally present Joseph Dashiell to all of you. 

I’ve finally crawled out from under my haze of pain meds and exhaustion to get around to writing something coherent.  I’ve got stories I’ll shower you with in coming days, but for now, some pictures will do.

He was born last Wednesday, October 22 at 12:53pm.  He came via c-section, which was an adventure.  He was a big one, weighing in at 9lbs, 12 oz and was 20.5 inches long.  Most impressive?  His fair size noggin, which sported a circumference of 14.5 inches.  Healthy, happy and sweet.  We were in the hospital until Saturday and had a cadre of wonderful friends and family visit us there and once we got home.  All has been going well with the very minor exception of some slight jaundice which is disappering quickly.  I’m tired.  More tired than I’ve ever been in my life.  But that’s to be expected…

Now: PICTURES!!
