it's a baby!

We greeted tobo (alias Samuel Stephen) into the world 3/15/08 at 12:36 am. Paul has already sent around the details but I thought I'd also say I'm doing ok as is Sam. I'm still processing the whole experience really, but we didn't have any major complications, I mean, other than becoming parents overnight. :)

We actually are going home today (my birthday) instead of waiting for tomorrow morning. We hear there is a snow storm that is on the way tonight and we just don't have a premie snow suit. Sam is a preemie (37 and change weeks) so we are on a 3 hour feeding schedule and had to watch his temperature over the last few days. He's come through with flying colors. He is really a very good boy and we're just having a blast cooing over him and listening to his little lamb like cry. Paul has been a spectacular dad and though I did the night feedings last night, he has been fabulous the rest of the time. He has magic daddy hands that can get Sam to burp instantly.

Anyway, we've decide to blow this pop stand so we will talk to you all next from home.

[We promise to post pictures soon.]

Welcome, Samuel Stephen! Congratulations Cat and Paul! And happy birthday, Cat (as if anyone cares about you any more - it's all about the kid now, HA)!

Hope you have a good trip home and a good settle-in day. We are eagerly awaiting pictures but will try to be patient, since technically we're getting them 2 weeks early anyway. :)
