I Promise......

As difficult as it will be, I promise to exercise restraint when it comes to inundating my blog with pictures of the new baby. I have to remind myself that 1.) I am not the Grandma of baby Lyrik and 2.) people will only tolerate having to "Ohhhhhhh" and "Ahhhhhhhh" over baby pictures for just so long. I promised Jessica (the new Mom), however, that I would post these updates to show how much he's changed in 36 hours (no more blue, bruised face and his nose is starting to pop into shape). Did I mention that I get to spend the day with them tomorrow because the "real" Grandma has to work?

Bouncing Baby Boy

At 6:59 p.m. Lyrik James made his very dramatic entrance into the world. Right now I'm simply too tired to write much more than Mommy and baby are doing fine. It was a difficult labor with some terrifying complications at the end. Everyone made it through, though, with flying colors and that is all that matters now. After it was over, I'm thinking it's almost easier being the one on the table than the one at the side of the table, watching helplessly. I have never, in my life, heard a sweeter sound than when that precious baby boy finally let out his first cry...never!!!
