it works, the whole prego thing

I am a new woman today, and not because I was able to shower for the first time in 3 days or because I now know that I can be awake for 31 hours and then give birth to a baby (please allow me to tell you the birth story some time later, when I’m not in a drafty hospital gown).

I am a new woman because of him:

Introducing Nugget cum O’Baby! Angel face seems to be a well suited moniker also. He’s got his dad’s family’s lips and my cheeks (someone said), but I just think he resembles heaven.

DanO actually got about 7 hours of sleep last night after we had been up for 43 hours straight. Fortunately, he was able tune out O’Baby’s¬† tiny, precious cooing noises.

I, on the other hand, stared at him intently for about 7 hours.

You guys, I would not trade him for the world.

And I would take baby holding forearms over drywall dust-covered ones any day.

    (Can’t wait to hear the birth story. But you’re right — it’s tough to write when you are half-naked.)

    Ok, this may seem a little odd because you don’t know me, but I wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS! I stumbled to your blog with a whole herd of others, I’m sure, from MckMama’s Not Me! Monday a few weeks ago and I’ve been reading ever since. I think that your blog is just adorable and it has been made even more so with your new addition!

    Thank you for sharing and enjoy him :) New babies are so precious and I have a special affinity for baby BOYS as I have 2 of them myself.

    Congrats again and I’m sorry if I creeped you out with the out of the blue comment!
