Things are just great here
At the Hotel Percocet.
Wish y’all were here, too!

There’s three meals a day,
laundry’s done for you - and drugs!
Best part? Happy dude.

Oh, I don’t know that the tag is right :-D of course THAT has something to do with romance!! Nothing is more perfect in romance than a token of your love. Congrats, and enjoy the drugs. 2 years from now, you’ll be begging for more.

Percocet didn’t work for me. I was terribly disappointed. Your sleeping man looks much more content today.

My, he’s a handsome creature. I can almost smell him looking at that pic.

My blog commenting has been nil for the past week - so I’m late - but CONGRATS!  My, he sure is handsome.  All that hair, and he’s already losing that squishy-red-faced-newborn-look ;)

Aw, he’s so cute!  Look at his little head of hair! *does that annoying “cooing over babies” thing that she always swears not to do*

Congrats!

And with that many exclamation points, let me add one more—best wishes!

What a beautiful baby!  I’m relieved to see he’s has suffered no physical defects from mama reading about golden plated garbage trucks during pregnancy.

Picture of smartmensab-tch said on...
09.17.07 at 01:16 AM |

He’s darling.  Just darling. And what a head of hair!

OK Sarah, get as much rest as you can. I’ve never had a C-section, but I have had a hysterectomy, and for the first couple of weeks after, I needed LOTS of sleep.  And after that, I felt pretty good, but it took a few weeks to get my stamina back.

C-section recovery must be tougher though ‘cause it follows a pregnancy.

verification word: look56.  I’ve been having trouble sleeping, so I probably do. And I’m only 45. Yeah,OK, 46 in a couple weeks!

Sarah, he’s gorgeous! Congratulations to you and your DH, and to Baba’s big brother.

Take advantage of the drugs and enjoy as much rest as you can.

(And a snort at smartmensab-tch’s verification word. I’m 45 in a couple of weeks, but got mistaken today for a friend’s mother, and was congratulated on my ‘grandchildren.’ At least the person thought they were gorgeous and well-behaved!! )

Day-um, that’s a whole lotta hair.  Wowza.  I just love that perfect little bow of a mouth too.

So when you wanna set up a play date?  Mine’s 3 mo old now.  ;) j/k

09.17.07 at 04:16 AM |

Aw, he’s gorgeous! I hope he holds onto that hair.

I 46th the comment about AWWW LOOK AT THAT HAIR and WOW HE’S SO DAMN CUTE and all related cooing-type posts.  Wish I could give that cute little guy a great big snuggle!  Has Freebird met his brother yet?  I wanna see some pics of that!

And dear, yes, this post IS really about romance, or do you need a refresher course on where babies come from, hmm?  You see, Sarah, when a mommy and a daddy love each other very much…

Wee Bitchlet Baba
Just as cute when sleeping as
when screaming lungs out.

Seriously. SO CUTE. His little nose!! And all that hair…

Wow!  That’s quite the head of hair for a newborn.  I’m jealous...actually, I’m more jealous of the drugs and the three meals and the laundry.  *sigh*

Cute wittle baby head! I want to sniff him. lol

Glad the percocet is working for you.  All it did to me was make me sleep.

I’m guessing your hospital must be like mine was, only 2 channels on the tv and nothing to do but walk in circles around the floor while baby was sleeping.  I would have been all over the internet, too, if we had brought the computer. lol

Healthy and beautiful, look at those rosy cheeks. You did well, my dear. Congratulations. A wish for a pain free, speedy recovery.

Congratulations, Sarah!  To add all my fawning and exclaimation points, he’s absolutely adorable.  And, really - that hair!  Hope you’re able to squeeze in some rest and good reading between snuggles (and diaper changes and feedings and cryfests ).

Picture of karibelle said on...
09.17.07 at 07:59 AM |

Awwwww.  What a sweetie!  I agree with previous posters.  I just wanna smell his head. Nothing smells better than baby head.  Baby butt....not so much.

Enjoy the Percocet, (that rx never seems to last long enough,) and enjoy that baby.  They grow up too fast!

Picture of Walt Walt said on...

Oooh!  Lots of hair! 

In some cultures, it’s good luck to shave the head of the baby.  I thought that was an urban legend, until I saw it with my own eyes.  Of course, some of those same cultures also marry off first cousins, so I guess they trust their luck more than most…

Congratulations and a hearty welcome to Baba O’Reilly.

Your birth experience sounds very similar to mine last Nov. Went in to be induced, party never started, ended up with a c-section and a 10 lb baby boy. I recovered pretty quick. One tip, take the pain meds when the pain is tolerable because it will shortly not be tolerable and they won’t work as well. Trust me.

Hope you enjoy the stay at the hospital, when you do not have to think of meals, laundry ... and you can concentrate on the new man of the house!

Re pain pills: I second KristenMary based on my experience with a hysterectomy and a (to quote my dr.) “very big” herniated disc.

Oh, he’s absolutely beautiful!  Hugs to you both.

Girl, congrats and best wishes. You will have to show a pic sometime soon. I have admired many of your honest reviews. I can’t wait to have you back on the heels of authors like me. Check this out sometime and tell me what you think, it would be an honor.

Hmm Soviet71 is the security word-wonder what that means?  Maybe he will be multilingual?

You know, all the talk about Baba’s wonderful hair reminds me that when I had my first baby, she literally had peach fuzz (little redhead) We were living in the United Arab Emirates at the time and most of the local girls who came to visit us recommended that we shave off all that yucky newborn hair (that’s not what they said but it was implied) so that her real hair would grow in thicker.

I did not take their advice!! And her real hair is just fine, thanks :)
