I can't believe that

it's true.  Hubby and I both experienced the phenomenon..

Note:  Thanks Tita Tina for showing us the video.

Crumb-y baby

Sometimes breastfeeding takes quite a bit of time, so I snack while I feed.  A couple of days ago I munched on a cookie and some crumbs fell onto Baby's head.  This snippet from Shel Silvertein's poem "The Dirtiest Man in the World" came across my mind as I quickly brushed the crumbs away...

Oh I'm Dirty Dan, the world's dirtiest man,

I never have taken a shower.

I can't see my shirt - it's so covered with dirt,

And my ears have enough to grow flowers...

Moments

It's been a tough couple of days...

but moments like this make it all worthwhile.

So we finally meet...

Hello everyone!  I've re-emerged.  Things are pretty hectic around here.  Hubby, Charlie, and I are slowly getting to know Baby and he's slowly getting to know us.

Even though Baby has a real name, I'll keep referring to him as Baby Norris* in this blog.  In honor of his first week out of the womb, here's a visual retelling of our first encounter:

"So, you're the one who kept me captive for 39 weeks..."

"Now that I'm finally out, I can show you how I feel..."

((Kapow!)) "Take that, female captor!"

*Somehow this pseudonym seems so appropriate...

It's time

Hi everyone,

Just fyi- I'm unable to upload posts for a bit because hubby and I are off to the hospital.  Our long-awaited guest has finally decided to arrive.
