That's Noah. It was a good day to hold him (and this was the first time I have gotten to hold him and his first kisses too) because he has no IV in right now and he had A, who is a very experienced nurse and comfortable with parents and monitoring us. Tomorrow is surgery so we won't want to fuss with him or hold him for a while.
Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

A banner day for him! I'm glad you got to hold him before he's to be not-messed with for a bit.

Both he and Grace also had an eye exam which is No Fun.

Kat, those babies kill me with their teeny weeny cuteness.
That will come in very handy later.

Hmmm... I'm afraid of the teeny weeny cuteness. They seem so breakable.
I feel like I need a better camera, and my hair dyed and my eyebrows fixed. I'm very shallow.
I also want someone to see Waitress so we can talk about it. Will one of you please get on that?

Art Crawl!!!
I so want to see Waitress -- but I'm afraid it's never going to come to my town.

Ook. I know you were not looking forward to that.
Speaking of eyes, I love how expressive they are in Noah and Grace. The WTF? wide eyes make me laugh. And start making dopey reassuring sounds at the screen.

DH heard my murmur and squee and said, flat out, "We're done! No more babies!"
Not that there's anything to worry about that. I don't want to go through the whole process again. I may not survive two toddlers, anyway.
Kat, ignore that last bit.

Cash, I may not either! Everytime i see someone with a baby in a sling or a baby in a cart, I think to myself, 'Fuck. how am I going to do that with TWO?!"
It's nice and cool in the house right now. I shoudl go nap more.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm misting up looking at you cradling Grace and Noah, Kat. So beautiful. Such an apparently small everyday thing, such a miracle, holding your babies.
