Best birthday ever

So, I got a birthday gift and a card from Sully.  I think if you check out the writing, you will quickly agree that he should be in the gifted program.

Home

We've been home a few days now and can't believe how lucky we are.  Knock on wood, Sully hardly fusses and is easily calmed.  He loves to be held and we have had a steady stream of willing friends and family help out with that "chore".  He is sleeping most of the night, and right now only wakes up to eat and then goes right back to sleep.  We've worked out a pretty good night time feeding schedule, and we take turns with those feedings so each can get a bit of uninterrupted sleep.

We've taken a couple of outings, but only to places with lots of open air and few opportunities for germs.  It is taking a concerted effort, but we are trying not to be "those parents" that cringe every time anyone touches our kid.  

Our favorite thing so far is when Sully is quiet and alert, with his big eyes open, taking in a world of new sights and sounds, one of which always being one (or both) of our faces and voices.  It is hard to imagine life before the little guy, and its even harder to imagine loving something so much so quickly.  What an amazing gift a baby is. 

Two shopping days left

For those of you that have forgotten, Sunday is my birthday.

Did I mention that Sunday is my birthday?

Yes, Jon Steven Bial was born 37 years ago this Sunday.

Sunday, don't forget.

Also, comments are welcome. We often get funny emails that seem off color, but really deserve to be shared by all. So post them!

Baby Shower - Feb. 21 - 2 PM

If you didn't get my mom's invite, it's by accident or because of computer error. If you have access to this blog, we'd love to have you.

Email my mom at jbial@msn.com for details.

Visitors

We had a wonderful surprise visit from Kris Ann's friend Zubin.  We were also fortunate to catch Marc on his way out of town.

We feel so blessed to have such good friends.

Visitors

In between changings and catnaps, we've been graced by the presence of some of our friends and family. Just thought we'd share some photos of Sully with his new friends.

Jon Sullivan

Although Kris Ann and I were nowhere close to ready, Jon Sullivan decided to join the world on January 18.

Labor started at 10:15 am, we made it to the hospital about 11:15 am and Sully was pulled from mom's belly by C-section at 12:34 pm.  7lbs, 13 oz, 19.5 inches long.

Mom and baby are doing fine.

I asked the nurse, "At what point do we test for the gifted program?"
