First Time

Caelum is two and a half weeks old already! It's been a busy time of firsts around here. Cue montage:

First pensive thoughts

First time sewing buttonholes
First time enjoying the armchair

First bathtime

First doctor's visit

First walk with the baby

First out-of-town visitors

First Build A Bear experience

First time we threw a birthday party for our child

First Brother Tummy Time

There's more to come: namely, the birth story and an account of Owen's birthday party.

Call Your Boys

He's here! Caelum Zembruski Ashton was born on January 9th, 2011. He's healthy and adorable. Our little tease kept us in suspense for a while, but the birth story will follow in a succession of posts. For now, here are a few pictures.For all those concerned (as I know I was), Owen is doing great with the baby. He prefers that we hold Caelum all the time: "Mommy, hold baby." He's very gentle with his little brother and is so happy to have his Daddy home everyday.

You Better Get Ready

We had a midwife appointment today. I'm 3 to 4 centimeters dilated. Quite a change from last week's 0! So tonight we packed our bags and I'm going to bed early...just in case. It could still be a week, but it could also be tonight. Stay tuned!
