navygreen: (Birthday!)
[personal profile] navygreen
I visited starrchld Annie tonight in the hospital, staying for an hour. I took her and Patrick two gallons of sweet tea that I made in the wee hours of the morning, as well as some Halloween cups for drinking. She and Patrick looked good, having gotten some decent rest this afternoon (finally!), and little Douglas was ADORABLE!

I picked him up right away, and he was opening his eyes and rooting around on my shoulder. He worked his hands free from his long sleeves and the blanket, and he was just going at them. He made so many adorable faces, and he yawned a lot. He suckled my finger for a bit before I finally gave him over to Annie to nurse. He's just too cute!

And of course, I took pictures. I know folks are dying to see, so I'll stop babbling for now and get to the good stuff. ;-)

I think he had quite a few folks waiting on his arrival, but he is worth it! ;-)

Whereas I think Annie wants a few years to recover from this one! ;-)

He's so beautiful - the pictures just can't do justice. But I will tell her you said congrats!

Oh, baby fever is back... and *bad*!!

He's enough to start the baby-lusting in even me!

Well, then I'm *really* glad I can't come hold him...

We're not opposed to a #3, but would like to wait a few months... so me having baby fever isn't a *bad* thing, but getting all those hormones raging might be. :)

He really would kick-start the hormones. He's beautiful!

awwwww!!!! What a sweet little face! So nice and pink! Please pass along congrats to Annie & Patrick. And give Master Douglas an extra smootch next time you hold him.

He's beautiful :-)

He really has the most beautiful complexion. He's ruddier than Annie, but Patrick has slightly darker skin tone as well. He looks like Annie, but I think he's got Patrick's skin. He's just so cute!

Yeah, he's one of the cutest newborns I've ever seen.

Not all of them look that "pretty" so soon, KWIM? :)

Yep, I understand. You hate to say it, but sometimes it's true. Even with my own boys, A.J. looked about a month old in his birth photos - his complexion was clear, he was nicely filled out, etc. On the other hand, Jack was downright scrawny, splotchy-faced, etc. Even now, I still think A.J.'s pictures are sooo much better than Jack's, though Jack takes better pictures now. :-D

He is just beautiful! I don't think he *looks* like a newborn at all.

No, I don't think so either. I really think he's overdue, and probably would have been fine a month ago - back when her first due date was (there was lots of discrepancy on the date, and it changed when she was about 20 weeks along to go for a month longer).

You're welcome! I couldn't keep the cuteness to myself, plus Annie had asked me to share! :-)

Douglas Michelangelo. Love the name. He's absolutely beautiful! Kudos to Annie for birthing a toddler LOL. Mine was just 9oz bigger so I understand how hard it was on her. Tell her and Patrick congrats for me. AND BE SURE TO GET MORE PICS!! ;)

I tried to get more pics during my visit yesterday afternoon, but the baby was away for his circumcision at the time. :-( Still, I did get lots of visiting done with his mama!
