Noah is here!

World: let us introduce our new son, Noah.

Noah: welcome to the world!

This little bundle of joy arrived 12 days early today! The labor was intense, but both mother and child are doing great. Now he's sleeping like a champion - do all babies sleep like this forever? We wish. :-)

Anyways, as promised, here are more photo highlights from our journey.

Baby's new digs

Time's a ticking

75 pages worth of papers to write - check.
Last 50 page outline for a law school exam - check.
A few meltdowns in between - check.
Almost 2 cm dilated - yikes!

On to finally finishing the baby's room and this...



That's right, it's TEN books to cover in eight weeks this summer if I go thru with it. I'll let you know how many more meltdowns THIS will require!

Some virtual thank you's

We love our new spiffy green stroller. It looks even cooler with the orange car seat.



Thanks Kristen for the manly diaper bag!











Thanks Lane and Jen for the fantastic-delicious-way-too-much-sugar cupcakes! Not kidding, my family wiped it clean in like 3 days.


And thank you Dan and Lydia for teaching our future child that he is Chinese! (You can tell Terah is THRILLED that I'm making him pose with a panda).
