Happy Birthday!
October 29, 2008It’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!!

Your baby is so beautiful. I am overwhelmed with joy for you and your family! Congratulations!! You are going to be an excellent mother; with the best babysitter in all of Bloomington-Normal.
Yea! Congratulations! I can’t believe he’s finally here – enjoy your new family bonding time.
I hope we will get to meet Joseph at Thanksgiving! I know you often go to see Ray’s family, but we would love for you to head south this time. Katie and JD are anxious to meet the newest cousin and it’s hard for them to get away other than holidays. He is BIG and a real cutie! Anne
Hey you three, how goes it? Any new pix available? Hope you’ve all had a wonderful first month of familial bliss
