Well we made it through the first night rather unscathed...but not well rested. We had lots of friends and family visit last night while the baby was in the nursery...and we thought they might keep him in there all night (which we requested so that Erin could sleep), but they brought him in around 10 PM. He did really well overall but kept scaring Erin with these little spit-up choking spells periodically. Erin is pretty sore overall and takes a minute or two to get up an down out of bed....but when this little man started with the gagging stuff, she was up on her knees bending over the baby in a millisecond. She is going to be a very good mom.
The baby actually slept from about 2 AM to 8 AM without hardly stirring. Erin tried to feed him at 4 and 6 (because they told us to) but sometimes a boy's just gotta rest (I think this means he will be like me). He seems to have a pretty big nose at this point, unattached earlobes, and his eyes have both brown and blue (dark hazel?) streaks.... which are all daddy characteristics for sure. His long legs, arms, feet and toes are momma's. I can't wait to see how he looks in a week or so....but I would say he is overall favoring his momma at this point. When I was born I was completely purple with tons of hair and was already "tons of fun" whereas Erin was a very pretty baby from the get-go. This baby has great coloration, not much hair, and is very long and lean.
Dr. Daus is here now and is checking on Erin. He just performed the circumcision and we are trying to figure out when we are going to leave. He says we can leave today if we want....so I guess we need to talk about that. More updates later.
FYI- Ben came by last night and told me that all the posts had a Pacific Time with them...so I corrected that this morning.
