Yes, I know he was a day "late." But I was very surprised he came before the weekend. I wouldn't have been at all surprised if he was a week late -- or more!
For now, here are a few pictures. I plan on posting the birth story later for those who want to hear it. If you don't, I won't be offended if you skip that post :)
Until then, I hope you'll be satisfied with these. There are lots. I'm not posting a lot of them here -- the rest can be found on facebook. I'm also posting a few here that haven't made it to facebook yet.
The last belly picture. This was taken on my due date, just a few hours before I was surprised by the beginning of labor.
Just a minute old! He doesn't look very happy, does he?
The first time I got to hold him, for about 10 seconds before they took him to the NICU to help him start breathing better.
In the NICU. Husband got to follow him there, but for some reason wasn't able to hold him.
Husband finally got to hold Jeric for the first time after they brought him down from the NICU. Poor Daddy had to wait almost 4 hours!
Mommy and Jeric
With Daddy the next morning.
This is one of my favorite pictures. I love the expression on Jeric's face.
Chillin' in Mama's lap.
He has hair!
Jeric and Aunt Anna.
Jeric and Grandma.
Jeric and Great-great-grandma.
So relaxed.
Going home! He didn't like the carseat much when we first put him in it, but he fell asleep before we got to the car.
Our angry little frog. (I think he's glaring because of the bright lights.)
With his Granny.
Taking a nap.
Husband is pontificating on the virtues of the music of his favorite band...hilarious!
Jeric playing Madden 09 with Daddy.
Just finished eating and trying to burp. This is right before he peed out the top of his diaper and we had to change him into his third outfit for the day...and it was only 10am.
Mad at Daddy for waking him up.
