Oh, Baby!





Duncan has finally been born and I am finally feeling well enough to blog again. Babies take up a lot of time and I'm really bad at typing one-handed, so I guess the blogs might be few and far between for a while.

I know you all like updates, so I wanted to tell you that my foot blog was right on the money because my feet got a lot worse. Swelling and a rash...oohhh...ahhh.... I had three dermatologists come to look at my feet while I was in the hospital and they didn't know what was up and finally one of them said, "Let's go back and Google it." Nice to know all that medical school teaches them to access Google when they're confused. Aren't there like medical books they can look in or something? Or at least a doctor website? Google? Really? Luckily, the doctors must have guessed right and given me the right medicine because my feet are almost back to normal. I would never have guessed my pregnancy and labor and delivery would lead to such dramatic foot problems.

Duncan is the most beautiful baby I've ever seen and I'm pretty sure he's the smartest and the strongest too. Of course, no one would call me an impartial judge. But, in case you want to see for yourself, here are some pics. Once I get a cord for the video camera, I'll add video too. (Something to look forward to, I know).

Waiting for Baby



Well, now we're just waiting for the baby. I get to stop working on Tuesday. Yippee. How fun is that? Everyone tells me that the baby will be far more work than work was, but I don't care right now. See, right now I know that staying home with the baby still in my belly is less work than going to work with the baby in my belly. Daryl wants to know what I'm going to do with all my newfound time. Should I tell him that I'm going to eat bon-bons and get addicted to soap operas? Probably not. I told him that I might actually cook dinner once in a while. He seemed pretty happy about that.
Barkley and Sweetums are waiting patiently for the baby too. Well, maybe just Barkley is. I don't think Sweetums has enough brain power to really figure out what's going on. Barkley knows something is up and she's just not sure that she likes it. You have to click on the picture to see Barkley's facial expression.
