X had a slightly rocky start, but is doing just fine now. At five days old, X is still like a baby bird. He is nearly always either sleeping, nursing, or rotating his head from side to side with his mouth open and eyes closed, making soft squawking noises to indicate that he is hungry.
X, due March 11, was about two weeks early. His big brother, due February 15, was two weeks late. They both ended up surprising us and arriving on March 1st, exactly four years apart. Here are all the presents K got for his birthday.
I have been hiding from the world during my recovery and have had my laptop and phone turned off, so this is all I can muster for now. I'll be back with details.
Yay!
ReplyDeleteHe is beautiful! I'm glad to hear he is doing well. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteI have friends whose 2 children were born exactly 4 years apart and share a birthday. Very rare, but I think very cool.
Rest up and enjoy your baby.
Congrats! This will make their birthdays so much easier to remember (I'm joking).
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS! That is one handsome looking baby (and no, I don't say that about every baby :D).
ReplyDeleteWhew! Now, stop blogging and go get some rest, woman.
Congrats! He *is* a good looking guy. I can't wait to see more! :) (And I hope you're getting decent rest.)
ReplyDeleteHe sure is beautiful! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweetie! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteWow! Congrats.
ReplyDeleteNow, what would have been insanely cool is if they were both born on leap years. Try that for the next two.
Aw, so beautiful! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteYay!!! I'll make the change
ReplyDeleteYay! I've been waiting for this post! He is such a cutie- I wish I could hold him and tuck him up on my chest like I used to do with Claire but now can't because she is way too big and WAY too busy to waste time being cuddled with me.
ReplyDeleteI hope your recovery goes well and I can't wait to hear more whenever you are ready to share it :)
Oh, and I said this on facebook, but it's worth saying again -- CONGRATS! and Happy Birthday K!
Congratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! So happy for your fmaily!!.
ReplyDeleteHe is so precious! Congrats! Welcome to the world X!
ReplyDeleteMy brother was born on my birthday. We are two years apart. I was one week early and he was one week late. I used to tell people that I hated sharing my birthday, but looking back I realize that I actually really liked it. Sure, I never got one special day to myself (some years we celebrated on different days, some years not), I feel especially bonded with him. I have fond memories of picking out birthday supplies with him and I love what we call each other on our b-day to wish each other a happy birthday.
I'm interested to hear how K deals with it- was he excited to have a brother as a birthday present? They will be best of buds, I'm sure!
Soooo sweet! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! He is gorgeous. And what a cool coincidence that they share a March 1 bday!
ReplyDeleteWHat a beautiful baby. Congratulations. I think its really cool that he and his brother have the same birthday.
ReplyDeleteSo thrilling! Congratulations - what a beautiful birthday present for k!
ReplyDeleteI also want you to know that my spambot thing for that last comment was "wang." Chuckle.
ReplyDeleteAww, so handsome! And definitely special for your kids to share a birthday!
