merry christmas!


He looks subdued, but my mom said he was having a great time, kind of expecting Santa to read him a story.

scheduling

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

the countdown

yesterday was our baby's due date. and they're careful to tell you that due dates are only estimations. most babies are born with a couple weeks (on either side) of that date. no sign yet, so our ob is recommending inducing next week. there are no benefits to keeping him in there any longer than 41 weeks, according to her, so we've scheduled Tuesday, April 4 as the day to go in after him, so to speak. An ultrasound yesterday revealed a healthy placenta, good amount of fluid, good movement, breathing, etc., so we have every reason to think things will be fine at this point. while we didn't come home with a baby yesterday, we did get an ultrasound picture of his first footprint. our ob even labeled it for us, with the name we expect to call the baby (although we really need to see him first to make sure it fits). so we've got 5 more days at the most. we'll keep you posted here.
