Hi, River!

here's just a quick update, since quick is all i've got lately. our baby is here! his name is River Stuart Sessions, and he is a total doll. he weighed in at 7 lbs. 9 oz and 20 in. long, but i can tell he's already filling out quite a bit. he didn't give me much trouble on the way here....oh yeah, except for the unbelievable P-A-I-N i experienced before i got the epidural (my new BFF). i tell you, ladies, don't even think about doing this naturally when the time comes. drugs are worth it. 100 percent.

anyway, we've had him home now for about a week and a half. they don't lie when they say you don't get any sleep with a newborn. that's pretty much true. but River is still learning and is getting much better at getting this whole night and day thing. actually, we could not care less about fewer hours of sleep right now. he is such an angel and we feel so lucky to have him!! what an incredible experience, indeed.


happy family!!
