Learning the new role of being a parent

We are beginning to learn the little details of being a parent.  (check the post time – 3:23am)  It is tiring but we wouldn’t trade it for the world!

I thought about taking a picture of a finally sleeping newborn, but was too afraid the flash would wake him.  So instead, here is what he looked like sleeping at the hospital.  Good night everyone!

Baby Shower

On March 31st mom and dad’s amazing school friends gave us a baby shower!   She was so surprised and I got so many great presents!  I’m 35 weeks along here and I already can’t wait to meet Jessica and Angie!
