The First Two Weeks

Sock monkey suit on his 1-week birthday!

I cannot believe how strong Billy's neck is! Isn't it supposed to take a month for him to hold his head up?

Holding hands with a fascinated big brother.

Tummy time turns to nap time!

Going Home

I'm pretty sleepy, and any text I try to write here is going to come out garbled, so let's just leave it at.... we came home on Saturday and that makes me very happy. Big brother Eddie's site will update in a few hours... after I take a nap!

Robot Pajamas

Auntie Beth, Uncle Joel, and Cousin Jane gave Billy these sweet little robot jammies (made by a company called "Pitty Shants" ...haha!) as a shower gift (Did they come from San Francisco, Beth?) They were great for a little photo session last night when Billy was alert after his feeding. Keep an eye out in the next 24 hours for "going home" photos here and "meeting baby brother" photos on Eddie's World. And thanks again for the emails and comments!

Baby Billy is Here!

Torin William (Billy) was born today. He arrived by repeat C-section and his birth (like this pregnancy) was blissfully unremarkable. I didn't have to have general anesthesia, so I was awake for the surgery, which lasted 36 minutes from start to finish. I'm now sitting in bed with a warm bundle in my lap, contemplating sleep and yet not wanting to put Billy down. He's been snuggled up to me for over three hours. I'm so glad to have a happy, healthy family, two precious little boys, and a wonderful, sweet husband to share this life with. It has been a perfect day.
