Oops.
Chris left the hospital for a few hours tonight. He needed to go home and shower, change clothes, feed the dogs, all that good stuff. While he was gone, I had big plans. I was going to get up and shower. I was going to read my baby book. I was going to email pictures out to family.
Sadly, none of that was done. And I blame the Beaner.
I mean, how can a person be expected to do anything with these cheeks just laying around?
And who can even think about sending emails when there is all this hair to ruffle?
I tried. I really did. I tried to focus. I tried to accomplish something. But then I found these tiny fingers and all hope was lost.
And you know what they say about tiny fingers… Where there are tiny fingers there are tiny toes…
By the time Chris got back to the hospital, I was babbling about swaddling methods to the Bean and his Bear.
Fortunately for me, Chris is helpless under the super natural powers of the Bean, too.
I think we’re in trouble…

He is so beautiful… And you, Katie! You and Chris are positively GLOWING with parenthood. I can’t wait till I start my own little family with my own little bean.

Congratulations! He’s simply perfect. No other word can describe a beautiful baby like Michael as well as PERFECTION! Good job mama! That’s how I feel about my two, big, healthy boys. I did not know such perfection could exist in the world until my first was born. I cried with happiness when my second was born because my thoughts were, “I just doubled the amount of perfection in the world!”

Oh my goodness, I am so excited for you guys!!! 🙂 He is so precious and I can not believe all that hair!!! He and Levi would definitely be buddies if they knew each other. Isn’t this just crazy? Like it was all just a dream!? It is absolutely fantastic. I’m a blubbering idiot every time he looks into my eyes. Horray for baby boys. THey are the best.

i looked through the flickr album and was grinning away the entire time. i especially loved the pictures when he was yawning like, “oh man, have i had a crazy past nine months or what?!” everyone looks so exhilarated… which makes sense, because your little guy is just so darn cute!
Rachel

Miss M!
OMG could that pic of Chris and the bean be any freaking CUTER???
You know, when I was in the hospital no one told me I could shower after my surgery. My only experience with surgery in my life has been getting dogs spayed or neutered, and you can’t bathe them for a week afterwards, so I kinda thought it would be the same deal for people. You should have seen the look on my doctor’s face when I asked her about it on my LAST DAY in the hospital. So, at least you have that.

Oh my God! He is absolutely adorable. You know how sometimes newborn babies can look a bit like aliens. He doesn’t, at all. He looks like a sweet angel. He is beautiful.
Sarah Barker
Great, now I want one.

Your baby is beautiful! Congrats to both you and Chris. By the way, babies come out perfect when you have C-Section, no cone head trying to push themselves out.

I just have to tell you that all I heard from Aaron last night was, “I’m jealous! I want a Yale hat for Porter! Why doesn’t Porter have a Yale hat?! Porter needs a Yale hat!”
Do you know when you all are headed home?
