things Andrew has peed on during those brief moments when he's not got a diaper on:
the changing table
the carpet
mom's shirt
dad's shirt
dad's right shoe
the rocking chair
the turtle lamp on the changing table
His determination, keen sense of timing and impressive range make me very proud.
mommy baby adventure day
and what an adventure it was.
I don't quite have the energy or clear-headedness to express what the past few days have entailed, so I'll stick with the basics and share a few photos. A written summary and expression of the magnitude of it all will have to come later, if at all.
Andrew Patrick
Born October 5, 2006
7lbs 5.5 oz
20.5 inches long
His middle name is in honor of his maternal grandfather. Andrew was simply a name that we both liked, although Andrew and Patrick are also the middle names of Reen's 2 brothers, so that's neat too.
Thank you all for the kind wishes and words of support. We're all doing great.
day trippers
we took some time yesterday to get to the outer cape to see parts of the National Seashore. We also had lunch in Wellfleet and I got to show Reen the largest oyster bed that I've ever seen. No picture of that, sorry.
Two different women, both well into retirement age, commented that they had the same fleece sweater/jacket that Reen is wearing. We were wondering if this made Reen a bit out of date or if those were just two hip AARP members.
the waiting game
here's Reenie last Thursday, one day before her due date.
Note the play pen and bags packed for the trip to the hospital. Aww, how cute.
