And What a Boy!

Erin, Will and I are all home safe and sound. All kinds of anxiety and worries of first time parents aside, everything is going pretty darned good. After the first night that I came home, I stayed at the hospital the last two. We lucked out, and managed to get upgraded to “The Victorian Room” which is a pretty posh way to spend a couple of days at the hospital. Those couple of people who came and visited us in the first room can attest to the massiveness of the upgrade. They’ve only got one Victorian Room, so we were quite fortunate that we got into it at all.

Anyway, as promised, here are some pictures:

William in his own bed for the first time

William and his Mom

William and his Dad

Clicking on each of those pictures will open up a larger version in a new window.

Simpson’s quote of the day:
Homer: “Aw, it’s a boy — and what a boy!”
Dr. Hibbert: “Er, that’s the umbilical cord. It’s a girl.”

    I like the shirt you’re wearing, holding your newborn son. “Life is good”, indeed. :)

    looks like william picked the perfect time to be born and you to take time of work. I wouldn’t dream of waiting for the bus in this cold.. and for the record, -35 festiva started without being plugged in.

    Congrats, both of you! I’m hoping that today when I pick up my car from your backyard, I can come in and see everyone while I wait for it to warm up :P If not, then whenever you two feel comfortable having company over :P

    For the record, he’s adorable :P

    Congratulations!! I guess you can’t give me a hard time anymore for injuring your manhood during that snowball fight many moons ago. There was obviously no long term damage done.

    It looks like there is some blonde hair on his head. I can’t believe you didn’t order a red-head. :)

    Congratulations again. We hope to see you this summer if we can work out the trip.
