Our little Firefly

Little Firefly

Born 30 December 2010

2:48 am

7 lbs 6 oz

A few little facts:

• He has/had huge feet! He was wearing 6-18 month socks when we came home from the hospital.
• He never did have that newborn look. He's just always looked like a little toddler.
• He was alert and able to hold his head up a few hours after he was born.
• He gave us quite a fright with a decelerating heart beat, but he was just trying to escape the heart rate monitor.
• Everyone had to ask for pronunciation as to how to say his name. My dad still can't get it right.
• Epidurals are fan-freakin'-tastic! Seriously. No joking. We went to the hospital only after I reached my pain threshold (all back labor. OUCH) and then after switching to a different hospital! It was my first demand and it was GLORIOUS!
• We left the hospital after less then 36 hours and were home in time to celebrate the new year.

These pictures were taken when he was 4 days old. He is my favorite picture subject ever and he seems to not mind having his picture taken (so far).

Annnnnnd I'm Back! (hopefully for real this time)

No apologies or excuses. just forgiveness?

Its been a long time and a LOT has happened.

Here's to a concerted effort to post regularly!

We'll start off with some updates...

Belly Talk: Hiccups

Our little Firefly has been having hiccups, which makes husband laugh and me annoyed. Yesterday during one such round of hiccups:

Me: {getting annoyed}

Husband: {reaches over to shake and poke the belly while he tries to 'scare them out of him' while laughing}

Me: What? Its not funny. Its annoying!

Husband: His bodily functions are just funny.

Me: Yeah only when he's in-utero and they can't make him cry at the top of his lungs.

Husband : {still laughing, apparently set on enjoying it while he can} True...

Hiccups are NOT fun!
