Good to be home!

Brado & Rose visit

Day 2

"Baby boy surgery" is complete. Actually slept through it. Tough little son of a gun. Planning for lots of relaxing for one more day in the hospital. If anyone out there has a April 2nd Denver Post newspaper - please let us know as we might want one for posterity.

Day 1

After a few night's sleep - Jax is back at it... for those that have been asking, here's a quick labor summary:

- Erratic contractions started at 2am

- Became regular at about 8am

- Doctor's office at 11am

- Intense contractions at 12pm

- Admitted to "baby floor" at 3pm

- (Blessed) epidural about 4:30pm

- Started pushing a little before 9pm

- Arrived at 10:44pm

Brooke pushed like a champ and even gave some charity laughter to my jokes when I tried to lighten the mood inbetween contractions. Kimn (grandma) was a rock in making sure that Brooke was comfortable.

All of the grandparents are getting in some baby time while Jax learns to nurse today.... and we're looking forward to some visits from friends. Brooke is holding down food and has hopefully (and finally) put the many many weeks of nausea behind her!

Jack's feet and hands are losing the blue tone. He has my long dexterious toes and fingers. He has barely uttered a peep thus far. He's a good sleeper thus far -- living a Ryan Cronin lifestyle, really.

Jax says hello!

Brooke and baby are doing well. He's been here for about 75 minutes and has only cried for about 20 seconds. Brown hair and looks like he's got light eyes. He's got his bath and is enjoying meeting his family... although I think they're enjoying meeting him even more.

Labor was fairly long - but Brooke was a champ the whole way through.

Thanks for all the well wishes from everyone! Can't wait for you all to meet him!

Nursery is ready...
