A Day in the Life

UPDATE: The baby has a father and there are pictures to prove it! See below.

So, Sarah went into labor around 9:30pm on Saturday and we went to the hospital around 1am. Anna was born at 11:54am on Sunday, so, all in all, it was a relatively quick labor. Sarah was in some discomfort some of the time, but after she got an epidural, by all accounts it went much easier than we had expected.

Right now we're at the hospital (rock on free wi-fi!) and Sarah and Anna are down at a breastfeeding class, so I'm taking some time to catch up on the many responses (and demands) we received after our mass email last night.

But I don't want to bore you with prose. I'm not naive or vain enough to think you give a hoot about what I think right now. Without further ado, some pictures. As I've noted in my emails, we have hundreds of pictures already (the digital age has led to some excesses...), so expect them to be coming up in batches over the next few days/weeks. (And since I'm only uploading photos from my camera, I don't currently possess a single shot of the child and me. Anna demanded it, there are now pictures of her and Dad.)

Ditto.

This was Sarah's chow-down after be allowed back on a sugar diet. Note how remarkably non-haggard she looks. She gave birth 45 minutes ago!
