New addition

My wrist is adorned with a new piece of jewelry: a bracelet. It connects me to something, or rather someone, who has recently become a major source of anxiety, stress, and joy.  My newborn son Gabriel has a matching bracelet and anklet. He was born at 8:07am Friday, weighing a whopping 10 lbs 1 oz and measuring 21.5" in length! He is a handsomely cherubic version of Alfred Hitchcock. And he's been confined to the special nursery, tucked away and isolated from his mother who has desperately wanted to hold and nurse him for the past 5 days, but couldn't. Wednesday, she got the chance to do both for the first time! It was a true mother and child reunion. Friday, we got to take him home! It's been a few days now, and our little family is perfectly dysfunctional!
