This second one is a very rare picture, as it is exceedingly difficult to catch this little fellow with his eyes open during his first couple days in the outer world:)
The labour passed very quickly, if not painlessly. Ruth did an AWESOME job on no meds and all the nurses were super impressed with how she handled it. We're still in the hospital, and will be until at least tomorrow (Saturday), for routine checkups and such. This means we may not post again until we're all home together, so hang in there - many more pictures to follow. As of now though, Simeon is a very healthy and strong little boy, scored an unusual perfect 10 on both his Apgar tests, and is catching on to breastfeeding just as brilliantly as we'd hoped. We welcome any visits you may wish to pay us!
Simeon's Favourite Things: sleeping, squawking, and the smell of his mommy's skin. (There may be more, but he's too tired to tell us).
See you soon!

12 lbs??? Did I read that right? Is that a typo???
Wow, record comment response time Ev! What was that, like, 2 1/2 seconds after I posted?
Yes, that was a typo - sorry, but I'm tired! And, it's back to the room with me now - more to come, in a couple days maybe :)
It's a slow night at work :)

Dear Simeon,
First of all, welcome to the family. We're all really glad that you decided to join us. I bet you're wondering about all the strange looking folks staring down at you! Don't worry, they're all really nice and most of them are not crazy.
Hope to see you someday! Until then, be kind to your mom & dad.
