Awkward Mom and Super Baby

Just so you know, Super Baby started the labor journey about 10 hours after Awkward Mom wrote her last post. This means that Super Baby can be nagged into doing things. Good to know for future reference.....

Well, Super Fetus is Super Baby. And Super Baby is a BOY!


He's perfect. And I don't mean like Perfect Baby. No, he is perfectly awkward, with a tendency toward the slothful and slow (his labor was over 24 hours start to finish). He has little red marks all over the place, scratches from his claw-like fingernails, and a weird birthmark on his forehead. He is still very much "4th trimester," with tiny shrimp-limbs all tucked into his body and a lolling head that likes to fling backwards with no warning. He is very small and gangling and still kinda fetal-looking; so basically, completely and totally beautiful. I mean, look at him! He's perfect. 

We are going back to gazing at Super Baby. Catch ya later!
