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.
OMG so cute. Ezra is gorgeous, and the pic of the boys together is super cute.
Congratulations to all of you!
Oh, he's beautiful! And so much hair! Congratulations to you all!
Not only does he look just like you, but the flipping us off bit proves that he was definitely NOT switched a birth. ;) Congratulations on another beautiful baby!
Such a cutie, congratulations!! I almost shed a tear when I saw the post with his first pictures...
PS--did you ever think, in the history of blogging, that you would recieve OVER 700 comments on ONE post?!?! Holy mother of...errr, Ezra...that's a LOT of comments!!
The only reason little Ezra is flipping us the bird is because he can't talk to us with his Mama's mouth yet.
Adorable guy. Congrats to the entire Storch clan.
I don't know if Ezra is going to be as patient and tolerant of the internet as Noah. Look at that finger, and he's only a day old! He's just not going to put up with it.
So, so gorgeously beautiful. Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations, a thousand times.
Oh my goodness, he is scrumptious. That picture of both boys is incredibly sweet. I have to assume he's flipping off whoever is taking the photo in an effort to convey: MORE BOOB NOW!
Two beautiful boys!
As for a middle name, I checked the Sarah Palin name generator for Ezra Storch and got this for a suggestion:
Rock Crane Storch
Just thinking you might need some suggestions.
Thank you for sharing such precious moments! Oh Amy-such an absolute beautiful baby, Pure love is the only way I can describe Noah looking at baby brother. Rest, feel good soon and thanks for making me go kiss my two boys right now.
New baby bliss. Perfect. I'm so happy for you guys!
Oh my goodness, Amy, he's really so gorgeous. Is his hair much darker than Noah's was when he was born? Seems like it, but my memory maybe isn't so good. I love the photo of the brothers too. Precious, precious. You lucky lady.
you are not going to believe me, but that baby is cuter in person. Really.
So hilarious that a regular-sized baby seems tiny to you!
These pictures are making me ache to see and hold my own little boy, who still has at least 3.5 months to go in utero. Hmmm.
Also, to make you feel better: with my sister who was her third child, my mother forgot that she was supposed to burp her for SEVERAL DAYS. She couldn't figure out why the baby was so grumpy. So twelve hours is not so bad!
To nummy for words. Congrats again! And take care there Momma.
Congratulations Storches! He's beautiful. And tiny and perfect.
(and kinda giving the finger in that first picture, but in a very cute polite way)
Enjoy!
Oh, Amy. He is gorgeous. All the new baby stuff is going to come right back to ya, the burping and what not. And judging from the look on Noah's face, the new baby stuff is going to come easy to him, too. I wasn't here for Noah's babyhood, but I can't wait to watch your little family while this chapter grows. Blessings to you, Jason, Noah, and sweet Ezra. Try to remember you've had major abdominal surgery and your bladder and guts are going to take a little while to get re-settled in there...don't overdo...REST when you can.
Oh, he's just to die for.
Congrats Amy! What beautiful, amazing boys you have.
Oh my GOD. That picture of the two of them. I can't even stand it!
OMG they are so cute together! Beautiful boys, Amy!
What a beautiful baby. Unusually beautiful. Congrats :)
Also - I'm a nerd and went back to look at Noah as a newborn and they look so much alike! Ezra's just a bit smaller.
OMG Amy. I don't usually comment because I lurk all sketch styles but I had to because THAT FACE.
So. Cute.
Congratulations : )
I think he looks like you, too. Congratulations again.
congrats. I love the look Ezra is giving in the first pic, and also the finger. Trouble from the start
Ezra's so beautiful it practically hurts! And the two of them together is amazing. Lovely, lovely - so happy for you!
I can't get over how much he looks like you and Noah! You can look at your eyes on your little girl pic up there and back to Ezra's and WOW! Usually newborns look generic!
Does Jason ever get a chance to have one that looks like him? LOL
Congratulations to you all!
Beautiful Boys...erm but is Ezra flipping us off?
He's beautiful. His mouth looks just like Noah's in that first picture.
Congrats to you all. Enjoy all of the little moments.
Coming out of the woodwork to say congratulations! Love the name, LOVE the pictures, and I have been stalking and waiting for this baby to be born! YAY! How exciting, enjoy!
Oh, Amy, he is gorgeous. And your two boys together... what a fantastic sight. I'm sure that you agree.
I hope that you recover quickly - I can't wait to hear how it goes for you as I'll be looking at a repeat C as well.
Blessings & much love to you all!
Please give ME a sec to catch MY breath. Because those photos? Took my breath away!
So precious! Congrats, once again!
Holy hell, that is a beautiful child. The picture of Ezra and Noah is one of the best things I have ever seen on the internets.
Here's to a speedy recovery, and warm congratulations to your family.
totally edible....that's all I gots to say.
And I see he directly inherited his mother's penchant for telling people to fuck off. Congratulations Amalahs!
Two of the best pictures, EVER! And girl, Ezra's got attitude already...
So beautiful! I love the picture of the boys together. Congrats to big brother Noah :)
Your boys are so beautiful! Also, Noah will be able to make many "Better Than Ezra" taunts in the middle of teenaged arguments, which is awesome.
I hope you recover quickly and that there are many, many cute Noah-and-Ezra moments in the future.
OMG. OK, now that the fresh out of the oven look is gone and you can see his features, I see he's very obviously a Storch child. But in his own, gorgeous, Ezra (love!) way. Great job. So beautiful. The pic of Noah and Ezra is precious. It almost makes me want to give my girl a sibling.
ALMOST.
Congrats, Storch fam.
He looks so much like Noah! Congrats to the entire family!! You are truly blessed! 2 Mama's Boys, they are going to cherish you forever!
OH I want to munch chomp those beautiful baby cheekers!! Welcome Ezra!! Noah will love and protect that baby brother of his forever, I can see it in his face!
Screw it. See you Monday.
I want to hold the bayyyybeeee!
Aw, sweetie - he's just perfect. Congratulations!!
OUCH MAH HEART!!! You have officially left me in a puddle of my own tears. I'm 27wks along with my 2nd little boy and my 1st is 2mos younger than Noah so they're almost exactly the same age difference as your two. You have made me both breathlessly excited and completely full of terror. It scares me sometimes how big our hearts can grow in mere moments.. Congratulations on two perfect boys and thankyou for sharing this with all of us. Happy belated birthday Ezra!
Wow. You two make some truly gorgeous little boys.
I died a little from all the cuteness.
ok...a lot.
CUTENESS!!!
He is adorable. He really does look like Noah and, so, he really looks like you. I think he has your eyes.
I love his little chin, too.:)
Just look at those two beautiful boys. Just so beautiful.
Congratulations, Amy. I'm so happy for you.
I'll say it again! He is BEAUTIFUL!!!!
LOVE HIS NAME SO MUCH, and I have a suggestion for a middle name...how 'bout..
Ezra EDWARD ;-)
great pictures! little guy is so cute...when my last baby was born (n. 6) I thought she was so tiny.....but cute!
