This was taken at 3:30 today while i tried to get some work done. He's so fun when he's not screaming at us. Any of our parent friends out there - what is up with this newborn thing of sleeping for most of the day, and then fussing ALL NIGHT LONG? we're trying to adjust/reverse his schedule, but last night he was wide awake and fussy from midnight to 4 a.m. sorry, no pics of that to share here. he only settled down when mary let him lay on top of her to sleep. we got some gripe water for him, and have been changing and feeding him regularly, but still not having much luck. we even took him to our awesome chiropractor here, who thought he looked great. so if you have a tip, we'll listen.
it was a little harrowing, but he's finally here. nicolas ---- cooker 7 lbs 2.3 oz. he had a fever, so he is in intensive care for now, getting antibiotics and a watchful eye. mary's in recovery as well. what a trooper. steely dan's "reelin in the years" was playing as the surgery began, then the doors' "hello, i love you" was on when he was pulled out. mary holding him was the most beautiful thing i've ever seen. much love and thanks everyone. more news to come soon. jeremy
more new pics in the nicolas set on flickr. We realize it's just a few days after Easter, but today we're giving thanks. the kindness and love our friends, neighbors and families have shown over the past few weeks is immeasurable, and we're really touched by it all. It's been a little strange for us to be here with the new baby, away from our friends and relatives back home in New Orleans, but we've taken a lot of comfort in all the phone calls, e-mails, cards, and gifts we've received for us and Nicolas - they've helped us deal with the change and made us realize how lucky we are to have such wonderful people in our lives. As we try to get Nicolas and ourselves into some sort of schedule, postings here may be a bit erratic. But we will attempt to update it at least 3 times a week - and more often if warranted. For today, please accept our heartfelt gratitude for helping make this experience so memorable. We miss you and hope to see you soon.
