As I’m sure all new parents will agree, the first night with a newborn can be a little daunting. On the other hand it seems like a breeze compared to laboring for 14+ hours! Probably the worst thing about staying a night in the hospital with a newborn is the constant stream of doctors, nurses, consultants and specialists making sure the parents never sleep for more than a few minutes at a time. On the other hand they are also the best thing about staying at the hospital, because they answered a million questions and gave us a comprehensive crash course in caring for our baby, as well as the piece of mind that we weren’t alone the first time he spit up, had trouble eating, and made a meconium mess in his diapers.
We also had a visit from a professional photographer who took some wonderful pictures we should be able to post here in a few days when the disc arrives. In the meantime you’ll have to do with a few of my shots from today, from the hospital until we brought Stronner home.
He’s so stinkin’ cute!!! Welcome home!
Thank you for all the photos — Stronner is so darling! Tashi and Norbu must be so happy to have him there with you now as part of the “pack.”
I know a lot about spit up! When are you accepting visitors? I promise we will only stay a few minutes. Watch out for Mila though – she is ga-ga about babies and puppies!. Count your gang carefully before we leave.
