And Baby Makes Five

It seems that unless things are posted in Facebook and via Blog that they didn't officially happen. So to avoid my new baby up and disappearing for lack of proper documentation I'm posting that he did in fact arrive, he is in fact real, and on top of the miracle that he has all his bits and that they seem to be in the proper order, he is really, really cute. I have the pictures to prove it.

We named him Jameson. Right now we mostly call him Jamie, but there is also the possibility of JD (David is his middle name) or Jay. He was 8 pounds 10 ounces upon arrival and 21 inches long. He cried when he was born. He curled his bottom lip and just cried. I'm assuming most babies do that. His little nose just appears on his face out of nowhere. There is no real bridge to introduce the nose, it just appears. All three of our kids have that nose--and they all curled their bottom lips when they were upset too. He has heavy eyelids like me and Nyah, but his eyes are like Connor . . . and Nyah. Big blue eyes (again, probably like most babies), except Jameson's are a good bit darker than the other two. Did I mention he was cute? Here, let me show you:


So there we go. I should no longer be in danger of my baby spontaneously combusting à la the drummer from Spinal Tap now that a post about his birth exists. Times have really changed since the births of my other two. How do you incorporate Facebook and Blog comments into a baby book? I think I got maybe two or three cards this time where with the other two there were a few dozen. It's not that I prefer cards to comments (please, don't feel compelled to send a card, it's not meant to be a subltle [or not] attempt to get snail mail), but I'm not sure how to paste comments into a book. Baby number three is already bound to have a complex of some sort, so I don't want to fuel the fire by making him think no one cared about his birth. Oh the dilemma of living in a modern world.

Thanks to all of you for your well wishes! Speaking of comments, if you've already done so in Facebook, honestly, don't feel obligated to comment here too. Because I don't think the rules state that the Blog post needs comments to be official.

He really is a cute baby. Can't wait to see him in person.

He really is a beautiful baby. When I peeked in on him napping last week, he looked so perfect and sweet. I asked Conner, "Does he cry very much?" His answer: "Yes. All the time." But he is obviously a very proud big brother.

So when do you want me to come over and mop your floor? Just pick a week to let the mess pile up, and then give me a call. ;o)

He is really beautiful. I was not blessed with a boy - but they look so cute and fun. I am so excited for you and your family. It would be fun to have a reunion sometime.

Debra said...

Heidi & Janell - Thanks! I need to make my way over to see you all.

Mary - I don't know what Connor's talking about--he mostly cries at night when Connor is sound asleep.
: )
You don't have to come mop! Maybe just come for a visit when I'm going stir crazy. Or host a movie night. Either one will do.

Alicia - Girls are pretty cool too. I like my girl quite a lot. Ha! Yours look particularly fun (and incredibly beautiful, though I'm not surprised given who their mother is). Yes, a reunion would be great! We've talked about doing that.

He is soooooo cute. What a beautiful little boy. I do see Nyah in him in photo #2. I am just getting into Facebook so I will keep checking this blog. I've missed your comments and entries. What a great family you have.

Debra said...

Mom - Yes, #2 does look like Nyah. And I agree, we have been blessed with a great little family. I know how lucky I am.
