Its about 35 hours after the most incredible moment of my life and I'm still kinda speechless, so here are some stats...

10 lbs 3 oz, 21 inches long, drugless natural childbirth, perfect Apgar score, beautiful baby.

Just add infant

Here we are surrounded by baby paraphernalia waiting for a baby. He can show up any day now so we are in a holding pattern; staying vigilant but keeping calm.

We have taken the classes for childbirth, fatherhood, breastfeeding and newborn parenting. Attended sign language seminar, car seat installation instruction, hospital tour, baby fare and five hundred visits to the OB. The tests have all been taken, the vitamins have been eaten, questions asked and books read. We have narrowed all the choices of pediatricians to two. The baby gear has been bought, contributed or otherwise gathered: stroller, crib, bassinet, baby furniture, diapers, wipes, a million little articles of clothing, bags, car seat, toys, bath, books...

We are ready to rumble. Bring it on!
