MAJOR SLEEP DEPRIVATION



I never did this for my first child, Amaya, but better late then never ...

My second child, Harrison James Roberts, was born at 8:15 pm on the 25th. Apparently he has "broad shoulders". Or maybe that's what they tell all dads. Thanks for the ego boost, anyway.

Our first child's birth was quite a difficult affair, so this one felt like a blessing in comparison. Christy had contractions off and on during the 25th, and then gave birth after about 2.5 - 3 hours of serious labour that night. She didn't take any pain relief, and recovered well enough to come home yesterday ... I can't explain what a big deal this was for her without going into major story telling mode (and it's not my story to tell). I'll just say that after all the shit that happened last time, this birth has done so much for her, and she's really happy.

Life's good. :)

Sean and Harrison will be birth brothers!

Congrats again, and fantastic news on the speedy and (comparatively) easy delivery.

Good looking kid Chade! The coolest thing to me about having a second one is watching how the older becomes protective of the younger.

Don't worry, we still eat them before they reach 3 months.
