samthoughts

first of all, this is why i love owen lucey:

hysterical. it would be too funny to have an asian baby on gerber products.

we love having sam at home. he is generally a great kid, and now that he is back to birthweight (and has in fact exceeded expectations, clocking in at 8 lbs, 4 oz at his 2-week check up -- this being down from 6 lb, 15 oz) we are stoked to let him sleep AS LONG AS HE WANTS at night. we hope that it is long. at least 4 or 5 hours. i am wiped from having to set alarms every 2 hrs.

i'm sure i'll have plenty more to say about baby and baby things, but here are some pictures to entertain the general public OR become hide's friend on facebook to see some videos.

also, shoutouts to the following nursery nurses at el camino hospital: jodi, tanti, sharon

and ... to these maternity nurses: laura, annie, peggy

there were some that whose cars i'd egg, but these are the lovely women who took care of sam and me when we gots cut up. if you have the good fortune to have these women help you out, you're in good hands. on the other hand, be prepared for the most undignified encounters ever. i've lost all sense of modesty. having had every person in the hospital inspect all my secret places over and over again, i have no issues baring it all. i won't be running around in my skivvies, but i'm certainly not feeling shy about breastfeeding any more.

thanks to everyone who have been so supportive and visity. hide and i couldn't do it without the sum of our community. *heart*
