Fast times and wild living with (the former) Baby Whozit…

Just found these pictures from Simon’s last day in the hospital. He’s a week-and-a-half older now and much less yellow, but I thought they were pretty funny and I wanted to post them. Looks a little like Winston Churchill in the rightmost one, doesn’t he? We shall fight on the beaches…we shall nevah surrendah!
From all the recent photos of me and Simon together, you might be tempted to think that I’m the one doing all the work around here. Yeah, right! It’s just that most of Jessica’s time with Simon involves a certain amount of nudity. So today, I’m determined to get some good (non-nude) photos of Simon […]
In response to the many requests for more photos of Simon, Jessica and I are trying to be a bit less shy with the camera. Simon’s also starting to look a bit less, um, “fresh outta the womb” and growing more baby-like every day.
Congratulations to my cousin Chuck and his wife Heather on the birth of their new son, Benton Ford, today. I’ve congratulated a lot of my friends on the arrival of their children in the past year, but this is the first congratulations I’ve sent as a dad myself. Kind makes me all sappy, ya know? […]
In about two hours, Simon will officially be one week old. In honor of this, Simon decided to keep us up almost all night last night. We’re fried, but we have to take him to his first appointment at the pediatrician (same one I went to thirty-some-odd years ago) this afternoon. There’s a Heine Bros. […]
Tristan and Percival are checking out the smelly new arrival napping in his cradle. Before anyone freaks out, I should point out that Cat/Simon interaction is carefully monitored. Percy and Tristan like to stop by and sniff him occasionally (Good God, why?!), but other than that they never seem to want to get too close […]
Everybody’s crabbin’ because I haven’t posted a lot of pictures up here yet. Well, for most of the last week, Simon has either had tubes in his face/head or been Hulk-green from jaundice. He’ll thank me for the lack of early pictures when he’s older. But Zadie and Nana visited last night and they brought […]

I’ve learned three things about hospitals over the past few days: Hurry Up and Wait! Hospitals are some of the slowest places on earth. We arrived yesterday at about 11:30 after a phone conversation with the NICU that suggested Simon was ready to go. Four hours later we were still waiting. Information does not flow […]
This post could alternately be titled Simon’s First Night With Absolutely Clueless Caregivers, but he’s alive and in pretty good shape this morning so I’m sticking with the title I’ve given it. Simon was finally discharged yesterday at about 4:00PM, and with help from Grandma and Bubbie, managed his first hour at home reletively uneventfully. […]
Question: How do you know when Simon has finally come home? Answer: Mom and Dad don’t have a free minute all day to blog about the coolest day of their lives.
