More Owen

Or: Proud Papa Gets Self-Indulgent.

But then, it is a blog. Anyhoo, here are more pics documenting Owen's last day in the hospital, his first day at home and his first Christmas. We were released yesterday at about 12:30pm, got home, and ran a million errands. Somewhere in between we managed to relax. As we went to bed, we changed out six diapers in one hour, fed him three times and burped him... a lot.... People had warned us that we wouldn't use the crib first night. It's true: he wound up sleeping on our chests as we took turns. But that's okay. I don't think there is anything more relaxing than sleeping with a baby on your chest. Until he starts crying, of course.

nice pictures!
Its probably hard to believe after the probably exhausting and mind blowing birth that the really difficult part is just beggining. Difficult but doable.
btw: Sleeping with mom and dad is also very relaxing and healthy for the baby. We mainly use the crib when we aren't sleeping, otherwise the baby has been with us. We relatively recently moved Edo into his own room and bed ( to make room for the next one!--we couldn't get a king sized bed!)

We enjoy having the little guy sleep on our chests. Our only concern regards the dogs, one of whom is small and sleeps at our feet, but the other one is quite large. Gentle, but large. So far, Owen's been sleeping with us because it has been so cold lately. He has no problem sleeping by himself; he was quite cozy in the hospital. But if he gets really cold, watch out. Eventually we'll have to make the transition from our bed to his bed. So mama can get some sleep.

Hi ya'll! Merry Christmas!

Owen's two big gay aunties wanted to wish the Moore family a very Merry one and a few days of rest. Let us know when we can come and bogie the baby again!

love,

e&m

The picture with Crash is so cute - he looks SO concerned.

He is very concerned. Every time the kid cries, he's right there, trying to help out. The ironic thing—and somewhat sad thing—is that Crash is just more in the way when he does that, so we have to physically shove his 138-lb mass over to do anything. But we always pet him profusely later for being such a sweet, caring guy.

Baby love is the best love. Enjoy every minute. Congratulations.

Awww.... I love the photo with Crash especially, but they all rock.

For what it's worth, I spent my infanthood with a dog much like Crash (in both size and breed), and I seem to have gotten out of it with only minimal brain damage.

"Is it verse or is it fiction? phentermine What a question. The most essential ambien fact is that this is a story, celebrex a love story told by poet and propecia novelist Carson (Men in the Off soma Hours, 2000, etc.) in 29 brief, paxil lyrical "tangos" (which are kind cialis of like stanzas, only a lot more tramadol romantic) that have little quotations didrex"

There is only one conclusion to make from all of this.

William S. Burroughs is alive and writing spam.
