The new baby has finally arrived ~ I say finally, but he was about 12 days early. His name is Ted. Yep, that's it. His "real" name is Edward Paul Weston ~ but Ted or Teddy is just fine with us.
Labour/delivery went well -- it was a long day at the hospital but well worth the wait and effort to meet our little man when he came into the world. He was 9 lbs. 9 oz ~ am I ever glad he didn't wai the 12 more days to come out!!
He's beautiful, adorable, gorgeous and so soft and cuddly. I love love love the newborn phase. Those tiny niblet toes, those soft and fuzzy shoulders, the squeaks and squawks that only newborns make.
He's a good little guy -- so far. He's fairly easy to please, just feed him.
Jack however, is not so sure. First of all he cannot remember the poor child's name. Here's a conversation from a couple of days ago....
Jack: Mom, what's your baby's name?
Me: You tell me, what's his name?
Jack: Joshua?
Me: No.
Jack: Rexie?
Me: Nope.
Jack: Costco? England?
Me: No, Jack. His name is Ted.
Jack: Oh, yeah....Ted. I'll call him Teddy.
15 minutes later....
Jack: Mom, what's your baby's name again??
It took a while and finally, it seems he knows his name. Anyhow, the pregnancy is over ~ the wait is over ~ labour is over ~ and I'm so very very grateful for a healthy baby boy.
i kinda like Rexie
