Jonathan is a little over two weeks old now. We're starting to get adjusted to life as a family.
The headache Marci had from her spinal block lasted almost a week but is finally gone, so she's been feeling a lot better and moving around more.
Jonathan is still pretty much just eating, sleeping, and pooping, but he will sometimes stay awake and look around at people.
I "went back to work" last week. I say that with quotes not because I wasn't working, but because I haven't yet been back to the office. My job is such that there's really no reason why I couldn't work from home. I was going to be not working at all for two weeks, but a crisis came up that needed my attention. Still, it's been nice to work in the comfort of my own home, in shorts and t-shirts, with my dual monitor setup and big, comfy chair, and to be able to step away from "the office" for a minute or two here and there to rock the baby to sleep, wash dishes, pack up and go to the hospital or pediatrician's office, or do whatever else Marci needs me to do. I'll have to see if I can put together a pretty compelling case for being able to do this long-term.
As always, here are some more pictures of the boy. I still don't have a lot of good pictures yet. Taking pictures of babies is hard because I don't want to use a flash and risk waking or blinding him, so that limits me to my manual-focus f/1.8 lens or using my D40's kit lens and just letting the ISO shoot up to 1600, which produces a little bit of graininess.
Still in the hospital.
Jonathan and Aunt Melissa (I just love Aunt Melissa for her willingness to change a couple of really nasty diapers while she was visiting).
Car rides make him sleepy.
Jonathan and his Oma (German for "grandma").
Jonathan and his Nana.
He does wake up sometimes.
Aww (That would've been so much cuter without part of Marci's t-shirt in the way).
