Please give me a sec to catch my breath

Oh, this boy.
So many things to write to about, but I can't keep my hands off of him long enough to type a single one. Suffice to say: we're all fine, though stuck at the hospital for a couple more days, Ezra is perfect and perfectly healthy (and surprisingly patient about his lack of a middle name), although his size (HIS SIZE!) makes him an entirely different species of newborn than what we're used to. We've probably said, "He's SO SMALL!" about four bazillion times already, and are hoarding the hospital newborn-sized diapers like nobody's business, because ha haaaa! Weren't we so smart to not buy anything newborn-sized this time? Oh, but we are such experts. Which is also why I needed to be reminded after 12 hours or so that I'm supposed to burp the baby after feeding. Right! That!
So far Ezra loves 1) boobs and 2) sleeping. I'm...in a good amount of pain. It's like I had major abdominal surgery yesterday, or something.
Noah was initially unimpressed, but seems to be coming around.
In summary, we're good. So really very much just tons of good.
What a little sweatheart! Both of them!! Noah's going to be the best big brother ever!
He is so perfect! I love the picture of Noah and Ezra together. Congratulations, and best wishes for a speedy recovery from the c-section.
Oh, they are so beautiful, those boys. Enjoy chomping on them... and now I want me another baby!
And congratulations....
What a beautiful little boy. Congrats Amy, Wonderful job. As for a middle name. It'll come in time. After all, you have what, 6 months to change your mind.
The pic of Ezra and Noah is wonderful.
Take it easy. Hope you feel better soon.
Again. Contgrats.
He is gorgeous! Makes me ready to try for our second little one! :)
Enjoy him!
Oh, the pic of the brothers...swoon...beautiful boys. Both of them. Great job, Mama!
My GOD, your boys are gorgeous. Congratulations - so very happy for you!
Oh my god, I'm in love. Those eyes! That hair! Want to NOM!!!
So much love to all the Storches, yo. So much love!
Ezra looks so much like you, Amy. Congratulations to you all!
Hooray Storch Family! Ezra looks like his big brother :)
Cheers!
PS - i vote for "Tivo" as his middle name.
So beautiful!
I can't lie I've been looking forward to seeing Noah with Ezra. Thanks for the pictures. i hope your pain goes away soon.
Ezra is SO adorable. Can't wait to 'watch' him grow up.
Is Ezra trying to give us the finger? What a cheeky little one at such a young age! Perfect!
And that second photo is just gorgeous. I wonder if you had that "OHMIGOD my first baby is a HUGE KID!" moment when Noah first entered the room after you had Ezra. I still remember how my heart hurt at how much older my first 'baby' appeared all of a sudden.
beautiful! Is it my imagination or is Ezra fliping us the bird!?
He is beautiful, and looks like Noah. Or maybe Jason.
What a beautiful angel of a baby. What a blessing.
Congrats :D He looks beautiful!
When my little brother was born, I apparently walked into the hospital room, took one look at him, and walked right back out. I was very unimpressed. (We're 3 years apart...) But we were pretty close growing up, have no fear :)
Oh My God he is gorgeous!!!! Did anyone else notice that he is giving the finger??? Too cute!
Noah looks very interested, as if to say, "You just wait 'til we get you home."
Enjoy the warm fuzzies of the next few days and remember the best part about the hospital: you can send the baby to the nursery and you can get some sleep!
Flipping the bird by his 3rd picture - Oh, Ezra!
Congrats! I think he looks just like you.
Wonderful name.
Congratulations! He is so beautiful and so alert in that first pic! I did have a good giggle about him flipping the 'baby bird' though :) All three of mine did that! Once again, congrats!
The picture of the 2 of them makes me tear up. I am so so happy for you and your family.
So cute!! Looks just like Noah I think.
Ok, that picture of the two of them is so cute it hurts!!!
Congratulations! I'm glad you all are doing well. The baby really is beautiful and I can see Noah in his face. I usually "lurk" but had to "de-lurk" today. Again, congrats!!! Be well.
Wow. He is GORGEOUS!
He looks like Noah! Very cute boys you've got there. I'm glad you're doing well.
OH MY GOODNESS!
Mazel Tov!!
that's we say when we come out from the lurkers corner to comment at these gorgeous boys!!!
congratulations!
Oh Amy! A thousand congratulations! He is absolutely beautiful! (and I am really quite amused at the not having newborn sized stuff thing.)
I went through the archives yesterday after saying how much I thought he looked like Noah, and found a hospital picture of Noah. Today, with his eyes open, he looks even more like Noah to me!
Yeah, that size disparity gets a lot of us. My older son was 42 weeks, and 9lbs 11oz. Thanks to high risk, younger son was 39 weeks and 7lbs 13 oz. I was never able to reuse baby clothes because he didn't catch up until last year-and he's 9.
Enjoy the precious one without a middle name!
Congratulations!! He looks just like you. :-)
He's just lovely. Looks like his brother!
How was it seeing Noah for the first time after giving birth? I described it as being hit in the chest with a sack of potatoes. I couldn't get over how big my son looked and that I could love him more when there was less of me to go around.
Enjoy. Heal. Cheers!
I can't believe he looks like Noah's late identical twin.
very handsome,
keep it easy and feel well (less sore soon.)
congrats again.
We are all kinds of good out here, too--thanks for sharing the news and beautiful photos. Welcome, Ezra!
Beautiful.
He's precious!!! Congrats, again!
Oh my, he's absolutely beautiful! He looks so much like when Noah was born! You have a beautiful family. Congrats and have a speedy recovery!
That's the cutest middle finger I've ever seen. I have visions of 5 years from now when Noah is coaching him to spout bad words in public. Heh.
Congratulations!
And we are so really very happy for you. Two beautiful, healthy kids; what a good life!
It's amazing how different Ezra looks from Noah as a newborn, yet somehow he might be even more precious and beautiful. Ok, maybe they're tied, but still. Damn woman, you grow some gorgeous babies!
Glad everyone is doing fine. Rest up and take care of yourself!
Congrats again. Two beautiful boys you have there.
And I love that it looks like Ezra is giving the internets the finger. He is going to fit in well here!
Awesome and beautiful!
Ezra is a great name--of course I'm partial to E's and Z's.
Oooh! He is so deliciously cute! Looks just like Noah.
he is absolutely breathtakingly gorgeous!!!
Wow! A little boy and a big boy! Congrats, Big Brother!
(But not in the 1984 way. Not THAT Big Brother.)
I was wondering about the silence on the middle name front...I'm sure you'll find one that's perfect for such a scrumptious baby.
Noah and Ezra together: swoon.
OMG SOOOOO CUTE! I CAN'T TAKE IT!
Lovely boys.
(pull out that sweet photo in about two years when Tivo, er I mean Ezra, is all up in Noah's stuff and they start fighting.)
Hope you feel better soon.
