Jaxson Merlin Kirchmann

Took me long enough...but without further ado (adieu??)...

Our beautiful son was born at 1:20pm
weighing in at a hefty 7lbs 10oz
and measuring 20in long.
It was a fabulous labor, if you can believe it....even with my epidural only working on one side. I'm going to get around to jotting down the birth story soon, tho I should probably write Aube's down first! Whoops.
My nurse was a saint and the doctor was encouraging. And we even got out of the hospital in 24 hours!
He came out nice and alert. We got to sit and stare at each other for awhile before they took him for his bath in the nursery. Total "oh heeeeeyyyy...i know you" moment.
He slept for most of the rest of our first day together, which meant staying up for most of our first night together. And all nights after that. Ü Gotta love a newborn with days and nights mixed up. But it's funny, cause he's just following my work schedule. I can't get away from it!
Such a good baby...even thru all the tiny obstacles mommy has been encountering!

Going home from the hospital. 24 hours old.
