Blue Part Deux
Well, my friends, the moment has arrived. That's right, the baby Blue is here! My son, Simon Blue, was born at 7:57 a.m. on Monday, March 10th. All 7 pounds and 7.5 ounces of him! Totally impartially, I have to say he sure is a looker. He's got thick hair on his little softball head, trying to be like his old man so soon. Plus, two eyes, all ten toes--he's every parent's dream.
It's a big change from looking at him on ultrasound to actually holding the little bugger. I'll admit it, I was thinking "Don't drop him, don't drop him, don't drop him" when the nurse finally placed him in my arms. But he just fit there so well and had this serene Buddha-like expression that I just stopped worrying. And then he started to cry and I panicked, but up until that it was really good.
Yuko is doing awesome. She keeps saying she's tired and needs to rest but I know it's good for her to get up and walk around and cook my meals, so I don't let her cop out. She's had a good two days to rest and I know she thinks she needs more, but the dishes aren't going to wash themselves! So she's back to doing the housekeeping and cleaning and cooking. It's good for her to work during the day, it helps her sleep better at night, which is good since she has to get up at 4:00am to get started. Me, I just spend my days holding the babe and making sure Yuko knows when he's hungry.
All right ya'll, I'm off to cuddle my child. Maybe tell him a few jokes or something.
Papa Josh
P.S. No one needs to tell me not to shake the baby, my mom keeps telling me. I think she's just being mean, though.
Hurray! Congrats Josh on this wondrous occasion. Simon is beautiful!
