Introducing . . . Peanut!!!

Arriving at about 6:30 this morning, he weighed in at just over 8 lbs 2 oz. Still no official name but we are getting very close--still some last minute negotiations (mostly between Jane and Robyn). Fortunately, after so much waiting the labor went really well and didn't take too much effort. All the grandparents were crowding around the door outside waiting to hear him arrive . . . that is until they got scolded by a stereotypically authoritarian nurse and had to march back to the 25 square-foot waiting room / closet. But before they were forced to leave they got to hear him cry. Since then he has been really good and hasn't cried at all except for a few seconds during his bath (which I don't think anyone really blames him for). After Katie and Peanut got cleaned up the grandparents were allowed to come in and check things out. Peanut was very healthy and alert, making sucking noises, and looking all around him--probably for a meal. He did really great with the grandparents and let everybody hold him. After awhile the grandparents left and we all had breakfast and then I took him over for a bath and checkup with the pediatrician. Katie is doing really well and is feeling better. Right now she and Peanut are both enjoying a well-earned nap.

Here are some videos for everybody to enjoy.
