Today, begins a new chapter in Norm's life, and others as well. Joseph Daniel (JD) was born on March 15, 2008, and came in at a whopping 8lbs 3.6oz, 22 inches tall. He had a pretty rough time, so he's got some strawberries and a pretty rough bump on his head. Otherwise, he's got all his fingers, all his toes, and is an awfully quiet little baby. Wish me luck!

Submitted by Norm on Sun, 03/16/2008 - 7:17pm.I carried it well ;) Mom is doing fine, a bit sore though and some blood pressure issues. JD has a lovely little contusion on his head from the vaccuum and will probably be staying a few nights (currently in the special care nursery, but he's getting lots of love from his Daddy) I will post more pics as I regain my sanity. I'm a little in shock right now. And yeah, sleep. I can't even express the exhaustion wow. love you guys

Submitted by pmenendez on Sun, 03/16/2008 - 9:38pm.Norm,
Congratulations! I wish you, momma, and baby the best.. Im shocked, ive been gone a while, but had no idea you were gonna be a daddy.. Very cool..
The best part is watching them do new stuff every day, with little hands and feet too..
Careful watch
Submitted by stevenl on Mon, 03/17/2008 - 5:55am.I couldn't find the dried section of the umbilical cord after it fell off my daughter during her first week. Near as I can figure, the cat, Ahab, must have eaten it.
This is probably just one of many reasons why cats are not allowed in maternity wards.
Also, those damn binkies have a way of just vanishing into thin air. Dozens of them must be floating around in some special binky dimension, because I never could account for where they went.
Just wait until you get your first smile from the little guy, Norm. Life comes into focus during moments like that.
say good bye to sleep

Submitted by OperaGirl on Mon, 03/17/2008 - 3:28pm.Welcome to the world baby Joseph! Your daddy once gave my little boy a toy that he could change from a car to a robot but I couldn't ever figure out how to change the damn thing back into a car and also stepped on it in the middle of the night which was not a fun surprise. When you are of age, we will conspire together and bring revenge on your father!
Congrats Norm! PM me if you need anything!

Submitted by Norm on Mon, 03/17/2008 - 7:53pm.Warning!
Submitted by JstPlnOnry on Mon, 03/17/2008 - 9:54pm.little boys pee in arcs too! LOL! When you change a little boys diaper, pull the front down for a few seconds to let the cool air work it's magic on him and then pull it back up quickly! This will avoid any worries of drinking something that resembles lemonade but really isn't! LOL!
