They’re Here!!!
2007-07-06 01:24:00
Big news: our baby girls were born at the end of last week. (No, we didn’t plan to time it with the iPhone release … yes, people have asked.) I am about to say something that nearly every new parent says: my babies are the most precious little bundles of yumminess you have ever seen. Everything about them is adorable beyond belief … their tiny little mouths and wiggling tongues, their sweet little whimpers, their teensie fingers and toes, their wriggling little bodies, the way they gaze right into your eyes during feedings … and they’re surrounded by that wonderful baby smell. I think the labor and delivery docs secretly spray some sort of long-lasting baby scent on infants before they’re released to the parents, it’s a pretty universally awesome smell.

Although we’ve had months to get ready and mentally prepared, in these last few days I find myself constantly thinking “ok, what did I forget to do?” or “wow, this is going to happen sooner than I thought it would” (in reality, only a week sooner). To be fair, I’m also thinking “What a joyous occasion“, “I’ll be a dad soon … whoa” (think of Keanu Reeves’s voice on that last one), and “Will I ever get a decent night’s sleep again?“, among other things. All in all, from a dad-to-be’s perspective, I’d have to say that the pregnancy went pretty well … especially compared to the stories I hear from friends about their experiences during the 9 month term.  Of course, to get a more rounded perspective I should allow the mom-to-be to speak on this matter … but I’m fai...
