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.




That last shot is just so beautiful.
I love babies. I think pretty much all babies are cute, to some extent.
But it's always something special to see one that is just. so. good-looking.
And wow, this one. He is truly handsome. There is no other way to put it. Lucky you :)
Hurray for babies!! especially super edible ones.
I have been back sooooo many times just to look at him and only now do I see him flipping the bird(something Gantdid for three weeks fter birth AND n one ultrasound)
Congrats!!!
Best wishes for all of you and congratulations on that beautiful baby boy! Take care!
OOH he looks just like Noah!! How lovely!
He's beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. And yes, small. Keep one of those newborn diapers. I still hold them up to my boys (6 and 4) and am in disbelief that they actually ever wore one.
Congratulations.
Wow, he looks just like you!!!
Congrats!
Congratulations! What a beautiful wee boy!
And just when I thought that no one could be more delicious than Noah..here comes Ezra with his tasty looking cheeks!! Have fun chomping on your babies! And congrats to you and your family..I.must.give.birth.now!!
He looks SOOO much like Noah! Can't wait to see a side-by-side of them when Noah was that age!
I'm so happy for y'all. :)
congratulations! :>
Congrats, momma! He's beautiful!
I am completely overwhelmed by the beauty of him! He is just so gorgeous and I know if I were there I would be able to keep my hands off of him either.
Congratulations to all of you.
I keep coming back to look at his pic because HOW CUTE IS THAT BABY?????
Oh dear my ovaries just went into spasm.
So beautiful, both boys, and Ezra... NO PRIZES FOR GUESSING WHO THE MAMA IS!!
And re the CS. Sucks. Shame, I know. You kind of forget how crappy the first few days are post-surgery and it's a bit of a shock.
But! By today you should be over the worst of the pain, and starting to feel human!
Feel better, kisses for the babelahs, and I for one can't wait to watch Ezra grow up alongside Noah. Thank you so much for sharing all of this with all of us. :-)
God bless you all, Storches xxx
I missed out saying this on yesterday's entry, but congratulations on little Ezra!!!
Jesus that's a cute kid.
Also, did you notice that he's flipping off the camera in the first picture?
I have a baby picture very similar which my mother has enlarged and framed in her living room.
Congrats you guys! He's gorgeous!!! He looks like Noah a TON! I'm glad he's healthy and everyone is happy. Take a pain pill and take a nap! :)
Congrats! Ezra is a very handsome baby. I cannot believe how much he looks like Noah! Hope you are recovering well and enjoying the newest addition!
That's a nice looking hospital. I have never seen one with wood flooring and pastel painted walls with crown molding. Huh.....well...no worries.
I have rarely seen a newborn baby that I truly thought was cute other than my own. But seriously Ezra is gorgeous. Congratulations!!!!
Congratulations! He is so cute!
The picture of Noah and Ezra is adorable. Congrats to you all!
CONGRATULATIONS!! He looks so much like Noah in that first picture! I hope you heal fast. You make adorable babies. ;)
Wow, he is so beautiful, congratulations on another wonderful little boy. They look so sweet together...
What a beautiful new baby. Just found your site and LOVE it.

I also wanted to tell you, there is an anchor on fox news who always reminds me of you! She looks so much like you, but I don't know what her name is :(
