[blparent] Remus is here, finally

[Tammy, Paul and Colyn]

Hi Amy,

Colyn is four on Saturday, and he's very excited about his birthday.  I 
actually work from home doing computer tech consultant work, so I'm on the 
computer and especially reading email alot.  Most of the time I have the 
baby strapped to me, or my husband, and my four-year-old is playing with us 
or his toys.   I don't know how it works, but it does, and I'm very greatful 
my son has the disposition he has.  He loves to make up stories about 
everything, and spends alot of time playing with his trains and doesn't want 
tons of interference from us.  Right now he's fasinated by the baby, and is 
constantly wanting to help us so we let him help us burp him, or get us 
things from the bathroom or wherever.  It makes him feel more included, and 
means I sometimes don't have to run and get a cloth myself.

Tammy

>> HI all,
>>
>> Our little boy finally made it in to the world at 8:53 pm, on Thursday 
>> the 19th of February.  He was born naturally after about 12 hours of 
>> labour and about six pushes.  He weighed 9 pounds 4 ounces, and was 21 
>> and a quarter inches long.  I stayed in hospital with him until yesterday 
>> because I tore a little bit and they wanted to make sure I was physically 
>> ready to go home.  The hospital staff were great, they even took remus 
>> both nights so we could get some uninterupted sleep.  We had a few 
>> feeding problems in the hospital and we're still struggling with breast 
>> feeding a bit, and have had to suplement feed my milk, but all in all 
>> things are going well.   Colyn is liking being a big brother, and we're 
>> all settling in and getting used to the new routine or lack there of. 
>> I'll write more when I can.
