We've Survived the First Week

What a trip!

Nothing can prepare you for the actuality of a newborn. Thankfully, he is a sweet babe and he sleeps through the night (except for feeding and changing). My only complaint is the loss of pregnancy hormones, I feel close to the end of my rope sometimes. Thanks to Mac for caring for us both at this first week.

Thanks Mom & Dad for the chocolate, socks and Andy Warhol bag. Here we have a picture of Buddy and baby sharing the socks (better than Jaclyn and I ever shared anything).

For those who have been wondering if we'd ever name this child: we have!

Little Will is what I call him. Big Uncle Will is expected this afternoon from Fossil.

Well, Little Will is telling me he's hungry. Thanks for posting comments!

4 Days Old

We have been getting settled in with our new little one, what a calm and sweet baby he is!

Things are quiet around here as I am still healing up and not allowed to stray from the kitchen.

Here we've got some new pics, the woman in the leather jacket is Liz, the bad-ass midwife.

We won't be back to Oakridge for at least another week but it sounds like it's beautiful there right now with the snow.

We'll be posting again soon! Leave comments if you need to get a hold of us. Love, Danielle

Happy Christmas!

Happy Christmas Day!

We are glad to share pictures and the story of our new babe! He was born Sunday the 23rd at 9:23 pm in Bill & Barbara’s kitchen in Eugene. He’s rather big and we had a hard time getting him too come out, but after some strategic cutting and assistance he arrived fully awake and attentive.

How big was he? 9lbs 11oz in weight and 22 inches long!

So right after his natural and successful home birth we went to the hospital to get mom stiched up. But, alls well that ends well! (no pun intended)

Presently we are back in the warm and cozy kitchen getting to know our beautiful and contented baby boy,who, by the way, is not officially named yet.

Enjoy the photos, we’ll get more up as we go. Love and thanks to everyone!
