Baby Blogging: 2nd day

John (Jack) Liam Sherman has been in this world for about 30 hours. The labor was...laborious...36 hours long. Taxing for all involved, but mostly for Michelle. But the results are in, and we are thrilled. He's the best thing, everrrrr!!

9 pounds, 10 ounces, a big fellah. 20 and 3/4 long...a tall dude.

You'll see in today's pictures some red splotching. This is the famous and completely normal and expected baby acne. What you won't see are regular red marks on his cheeks. Evidently the forceps were used with graceful and expert hands. What marks there were have disappeared overnight.

He's feeding well and is (so far) a happy, smart, well tempered baby.

Good times. Clink!

UPDATE: blogspot is having difficulty with the photo uploads right now. I'll get them up proto. You'll see!
