Grats on the little one.

This is how she's been most of the time.  In fact, she's been near-perfect.  She has the nursing thing down really well & spends most of her time sleeping.

Congratulations. So very beautiful.

Very cute so far, well done.

[Legbiter]

Aw, she's absolutely adorable. My best congratulations. 

I guess ugly + ugly = stunning cuteness.

How' Big Brother handling it?

When my second son was born 2 years ago Olaf was quite "eh, ok he looks nice enough. Can I play with him?".

It's only now that Olaf is 4 and his brother is 2 that they constantly bicker, take turns shafting each other out of toys or just plain ruining each others mini-projects that one has to step in to prevent either from growing up into just the person required to lead his own Vandal war party.

Nah, that was the White Sox.

Pretty sure the Astros were wearing shorts at some point in the 70s too.

(Incidentally, I'm currently reading book two of the Flashman Papers, Royal Flash which includes Bavarian entanglements with Lola Montez)

I envy you.  I cannot read Flashman books for the first time any more.

Thank God she was blessed with a normal forehead.

How' Big Brother handling it?

A lot better than I thought.  I figured it would be a good idea to try to make him feel like he was a big part of everything, so I had been building up how awesome it was for him to be a big brother, how he has to protect his little sister, etc.  He was standoff-ish when he first saw her because the weirdness of the situation for him (hospital, mom in bed, etc.)  but warmed up to her pretty quickly.

Now we have a hard time keeping him away from her:



He's taken to her so well that you gotta keep an eye on him & make sure he's not "helping" too much with her.  Now he has been a little high maintenance so it's been a pain trying to divide my time between him & shit I need to get done, but hopefully he'll adjust.  I need to finish getting Lola's room finished (she's in a bassinet in our room for now), so I'm having people come over each day just to keep him entertained.  I thought about sending him to his grandparents or cousins house, but that feels like pushing him away & might only delay the adjustment.

Got the wife to let me take a pic of her in the hospital (she's a bit silly about her pregnancy weight gain).  This is all she'd allow:
