He has arrived…..
October 1st, 2006
Here he is!
Meet our new baby boy Ashok: 5 lbs, 14 oz, and 18.5 inches of pure baby goodness! Born September 28th at 12:17 a.m.-congratulations, Cagey! You’re the big winner of the birthday pool!
Things have been crazy and we’re not getting much sleep-he appears to be quite nocturnal but we couldn’t be happier. My labor was insanely quick with no time for drugs, so consequently it was also excruciating…and that’s all I’ll say about that.
And for those of you who are curious, Ashok means “without sorrow.” So, I guess that means when he cries all night that the world is kicking my ass with irony? Ha, ha. Very funny.
Many thanks to all of you who have been sending supportive thoughts and comments my way over the last 9 months. I’ll try to be back soon with tales of Ashok’s exploits!

Hooray! He is so handsome for such a little guy. Usually newborns look like worms to me, but Ashok is pretty fancy. Nice work guys.
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!
(If he gives you any trouble just put him on the phone with me- I’ll talk some sense into him.)

Three days down, thirteen years until you can send him to Sequoia. He’s very cute! Congratulations.

the bobs

He is gorgeous! Also, that’s the same hat WE got in the hospital, so of course, it is bringing back memories. sniff….
However, I guessed the 29th, not the 28th. So I guess, I’m not getting any toothpaste from China, darnit.
Take care! Oh, and if you are breastfeeding, make your Mantra be “Two Weeks, Two Weeks”. That’s what I repeated to myself over and over and over — it really helped me to see the light and soldier onward because it truly does get better after a few weeks.

Congratulations and welcome to Ashok! What a lovely name… To match a lovely little babe! So excited that your new little guy is here… I had my suspicions late last week when there were no updates. I’m pretty sure I’m headed WAY past my due date at this point… 39 weeks and counting!!! You both look fantastic and I hope he gets his days and nights sorted soon for mama’s sake!
