Jack!

So! Jack is here. Nameless for his first few hours, he finally decided that Jack Stanley Schaeffer was the way to go. Technically named after his dada (John) on the birth certificate, he'll just go by his nickname.

In any case, everything went fine, everyone is still doing fine. John was here most of yesterday and Lucy was with her paternal grandparents - although she did get to come down in the afternoon to meet her baby brother! She was a bit wary but stared at him with giggly smiles while he sat with us on the bed, so hopefully that's a positive sign. I think she was probably fairly overwhelmed that he was finally NOT in my tummy anymore. We'll see how visits go - she was also fairly concerned that I wasn't coming home with her, but oh well. Part of growing up.

So Jack and I spent the night alone here together - he spent much of it in the nursery since they don't want to have babies spend the whole night alone with a c-section mommy - if something were to go wrong, I can't jump out of bed to get him. But he was in every couple of hours to eat, so we got to see each other.

I'll be posting more pictures although uploading is being pretty annoying (as in not working great), and I'll try to do another post later in the day.

Emails and calls and visits are welcome - I'll be here for a few more days - write to me (schaeffer.becky@gmail.com) if you want to come on by!
