So I Had a Baby...



Sawyer Benjamin [last name] was born on April 25th at 7:33 am. He weighed 7 pounds, 4 ounces and was 19 inches long. 

The delivery wasn't exactly a walk in the park, but could have been a million times worse, so I'm thankful for the experience I had. The hospital was fairly dumpy, but our nurses were fantastic. 

We're back at home adjusting now. He's a pretty mellow kid, but isn't a fan of nighttime sleeping, as to be expected. The dogs are getting used to the hairless little puppy- Cordie loves him, but Chomsky is a little depressed. My husband has been nothing short of awesome and our "no visitors for the first two days" policy was both respected and exactly what we needed. 

I've read a few pages here and there (Lolita for me, Corduroy for Sawyer) and promise not to neglect things here (too much). I'll be back with Bookish (and not so Bookish) Thoughts in a few days and my normal monthly reviews.

    Congratulations! For some reason, reading his made me think of the old commercial "Wehadababy Itsaboy." I'll just stand over here laughing to myself now.

    I was wondering if you were going to end up with a Cinco de Mayo baby, but I guess not. I'm happy to see that he's doing well (and that you gave him a fantastic name!) and all is good in the Bookishly Boisterous 'hood.

    Congratulations! And April 25th is the perfect date! "Because it's not too hot, not too cold, all you need is a light jacket." (Sorry, I had to...)
