"it is the nature of babies to be in bliss"

-- deepak chopra

there is a new addition to the family. baby ayden.

i'm in love.

i got to be on hospital duty for a few hours and spend my time just holding the baby and staring at him in amazement. i could stare at a baby for hours and be perfectly content. they are just so incredibly tiny and fascinate me. it feels like they are just too precious to actually hold and that they might break if you make any sudden movement. looking forward to my next few weeks as an honorary babysitter... when my insomnia may actually be put to good use!

me and ayden

eyes open

preciousness

it looks like james cameron was directing in the delivery room, but it was just the light for the baby beyond the half room drapes... hospitals go out of their way to assure quality privacy
