Images of My Two Favorite People in the Whole Wide World

Born at 6:57 am on March 6, 2007 after 30 hours of labor. He is healthy and likes to poop but doesn't like getting diaper changes. Hallie is feeling much better and looks wonderful. Life is wonderful and I feel happier than I have ever felt in my life. Tired, but elated.

What can I say? I am thrilled about the addition to the family and can't wait to meet my nephew.

You've now experienced the miracle of life and I know you are already such wonderful parents to Jonah. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us through this blog so we can watch Jonah change and grow through your eyes.

All my love to your new little family - Michael, Hallie and Jonah - and peace be with you on your unique and special journey.

Welcome to the club! Only those of us who have experienced birth can understand exactly how it feels. You described it perfectly- Ivan was so frustrated that he couldn't DO anything when I was in labor with Isabel.

Now every moment is such a gem. Yesterday Isabel was cuddling in bed with me and she said, "Mami, soy tu tesoro" (Mommy, I'm your treasure). She was so right.

We are so happy for you and can't wait to hear how Jonah and his parents are changing and growing.

Love, Elena, Ivan, Isabel and Lily

Congratulations! Welcome to parenthood. So, glad to hear that you have a healthy beautiful baby boy. (We will be able to share many stories in the years to come.)Jonah is so lucky to have you both as parents. Treasure your time together--he will grow so quickly.

Hey guys…I’ve been wondering each day on my way to work when your new addition was going to arrive. CONGRATS! We are so happy for you two and really looking forward to meeting Jonah and soaking up all the first-time parent experiences from you both. Who knows, MAYBE (with a LOT of practice) we can be your neighborhood drop-in babysitter service. :) We’ll look forward to visiting soon when you’re feeling ready for extended visitors.

Want some Cheese With That Ice Cream?

By -
The weather was beautiful this weekend and we were fortunate enough to have plans for the beach. We stayed at a beach house in Manzanita Oregon with grandpa and grandma Clark and Auntie Kealie and her boyfriend Chris. We came back from one of 3 trips to the beach today and stopped for some ice cream. Jonah pretty much stole my ice cream and had a wonderful time doing so. He is a happy kid. I love this little boy so much.

Baby as Religion

I have no plans to hold my baby up as the next savior, there already seems to be plenty of others out there right now saying so about themselves (type Bush and Messiah in google and be stunned) and I am pretty certain that Bhudda, Jesus, Martin Luther King Jr., Ghandi, Mohammed, Cesar Chavez, Subcomandante Marcos and many others I am neglecting would never have said so about themselves. Anyway, the title of this post is because of what little Jonah has brought to our world in less than a week of life outside the womb. For me, religion went hand in hand with giving thanks. I don't practice the religion of my youth but haven't forgot that "giving thanks" was a part of life either. However, seeing Jonah breath, flail, cry, poo, eat and generally struggle to understand this new world has made all of the things I am and have been thankful for over my life flood into my thoughts. So, in a way my little Jonah, and each life, new and old, has the ability to make someone t...
