"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Okay, so I do all my posts on Sunday and publish them through the week, which means that it totally doesn't seem like I had a baby today...

... but I did.










Two weeks early, and nameless, but since there is no family nearby we promised pictures today.

He is 6 lbs 15.5 oz, I don't know how long, and very healthy.  He was born at 12:03... he's the only child I haven't labored in the night with and it feels entirely different having a whole night of sleep in front of me.  (Plus 3 days of napping because I had a massive migraine).  He hasn't had a bath yet, so his hair is dirty, but the longest of all my kids so far.  We are all doing well, and will see more of you all later!

And, yes, the random posts will probably keep updating :)

What exciting news to pop over and get tonight! Congratulaions - what a handsome boy he is - and that hair! My babes were all born bald (and it lasted well after 18 months) - so I'm completely envious of that amazing head of hair he has :)

Hope you are able to continue resting well - I agree that laboring with a full night of sleep makes a huge difference! Can't wait for more updates and to hear his name - which I had to laugh when we got your card because I couldn't figure out why you kept calling your son G(full name), when I know him by from the blog is GQ!

So very exciting and what a cute boy... E has a brother! M already got one to match her... Can't wait to hear what you name him! I, like Grandma Wood, wish I could magically be there to cuddle him and love him while he's so tiny and squishy...Congrats!!
