All Your Cards And Letters

We woke up this morning and I read all the emails we received over night to Sow. She loved them and wanted to thank you all for your ooohhs, aaahhhs & wishes. I couldn't believe, we'd received about 50 emails within 15 minutes of sending out the announcement.

Such nice stuff. People offering up their wives and kids to us. Compliments from some people that swear new babies are never cute. How much he looks like me. How much he looks like Sow. Hugs. Kisses. Missing me, but don't bother coming back too soon, just enjoy the time we have off. What the heck are his dang vitals? Even a parody of the video clip I put on the blog. Now who's going to add in the fat star wars kid jumping around the bassinet?



I'm so tired right now. We didn't get much sleep the night before the baby came because we were so excited. And then again last night, too excited to get much sleep. I kept finding myself getting up to walk downstairs to see the baby in the nursery. Even started to walk out in my underwear one time.



Seeing Rayluk for the first time was just wondrous. I stood outside the window looking at him for a good couple hours. I just new he'd be sleepy today and I didn't want to miss anything while he was so curious. Got to hold him for the first time today and feed him too. Sow's got a little fever, so we're not breast feeding quite yet. I did get to play with his little fingers and little toes though. Wee...

Oh as for a more complete set of stats, here goes:

Rayluk Addison Smith
Born 5:15pm, 5th October 2005
2960 grams / 6 lbs 8 ozs.



His hair looks like it's brown.
His eyes are very dark like Sow's
but I think blue like mine.
