okay that didn't work

Just tried to post a photo of our new baby, and it didn't show up but a whole lot of other hyperlinked junk did.

Grrr...Rogers is evil.....

Anyway, I will try again when my brain starts to work.

He was 7 pounds, 13 ounces at birth, ands we're naming him after Mr. Cotta's dad. I have to think of a blog name for him and edit this post later, any suggestions? In other news, he broke out of the NICU last night at 5 pm, too healthy or something they said. He proceeded to demonstrate his lung power and bowel prowess, still trying to figure out the whole boob in mouth thing....so I am now in pain and tired. I'm trying to nap while my husband has him. Yawn...

  5. Sweeter words have not been spoken on this here blog in forever, ha?
    Nice to hear, except the in pain part. Yes, go rest and take whatever blessed drugs they are handing out at that joint.
    Can't wait to see that picture.

  7. I couldn't leave a comment yesterday from home. My computer sucks there.

    But enough about that .... Congratulations!! Initially some scary stuff there but to now hear he's "too healthy" for the NICU? Better words were never spoken.

  8. More congratulations...
    Happy to hear that all is well!
    Unfortunately I learned too late that MY dad was really hurt that I didn't name MY son after him (at least sticking a "George" middle name in there!) but shit, I ain't telepathic!
    I might worry about the "GD" initials but that's just me...

  9. HALLE-FRICKIN-LUJAH! I am so glad to hear he is out of NICU. Forgive me for being so very excited when I don't even know you, but I think it comes with the territory when you're a midwifery student.
    Hope breastfeeding improves. I had a hard time with my little G. Turns out she *REALLY* needed to feel the nipple against the roof of her mouth. Midwife says that's the only way they know it's there.
    K, one more WHOOPEE! and I'm done.

  12. So glad to hear that. I am sure the feedings will be figured out soon. I know I told you to rest, but I am REALLY glad to that you both are still okay.

    As to the web name, how about Dink?

    Great great news. Really.
