Time Slip.

As you probably know, a lot has happened since my last post.

This little bundle of precious was born at 2:42pm on October 5th, 2016. The 10 days that have passed since then have been a bit of a blur. Needless to say, Jamie and I are over the moon thrilled with our little guy and we think he's perfect in every way. Definitely well worth the wait.

I won't go into the whole birth story but for the headlines:

• Went to the hospital with strong contractions around midnight
• Active labor began around 4am
• Pushing phase lasted almost 4 hours -- it was definitely as painful as I feared
• It is so surreal to feel the weight of your baby on top of your belly instead of in your belly for the first time
• Born at 8lbs 9oz, 22.5" in length, and 14" head

The super-length (apparently the 100th percentile) make finding him clothes a little difficult. More than half of the newborn clothes we got for him don't fit as his legs are too long to fit in them if they have feet. He's not a particularly chubby baby so the top part of him swims in whatever we do find that fits his bottom half. It's super-cute, but also kind of sad when the "pants" are more like capris, or his legs are bunched up. Poor lil' guy.

And his feet were almost too big for the footprint paper at the hospital. Maybe he'll play volleyball some day...

Time is already flying way too fast for me. At his appointment yesterday he was already back up to birth weight and part of me was the tiniest bit sad that he doesn't get to stay this kissable mini-size for too long.

Now you'll have to excuse me while I go and kiss some baby cheeks...
