Stinky Pete was born at 8:27 this morning to the tune of “Come Sail Away” by Styx (via the nurse’s iPod, on ’70s shuffle. I consider it a cosmic joke.). He weighs 8 pounds, 6 ounces and is 19.5 inches long.
Poppy stopped by earlier this evening to meet him. She gave him a few gentle pats and then explored the hospital room. She only pushed the nurses’ call button twice.
We’re both doing really well. He’s a champion eater, and when he’s not eating he’s a very quiet and sleepy little fella. He seems to be moving from his sleepy stage to his hungry stage right now; I’ll share more later!
