Dreaded Naked Pictures

No one likes when parents dig out our childhood naked pictures to show them off to our new partner or friends.












I am sure that posting them on the web is also a no-no! Sorry Jaime, now that I am a mom I understand the joy of sharing your naked pictures for the world to see. You are just too cute and very handsome, too.

Jaime enjoyed his first bath as you can see - no tears, only a puzzled face, and silence, which I consider to mean: "Hey people, I like this bathing deal. I hope we do it again and often. "

I have not had a chance to give him a bath yet, maybe I will venture into it today, after I breastfeed, pump and change diapers 6 to 10 times. Oh, yes ... There is also the cutting of the fingernails deal ... yuck! Now, that will be a hard task to tackle.

Jaime Ray Stover (MIni Mike)

Jaime - 8 days Old

Little Jaime Ray is Here! He arrived on November 8 at 12:49 ( or 12:50) pm weighting 9 pounds and 1 ounce, with a height of 22 inches. He is a nicely headed boy, too -- with a 19 cm (or inches?) circumference.

Labor was long and full of events, both good and not so good. After many thoughts of giving up while on the the delivery bed at the hospital, he was born safely and in very good health. I am so happy this phase is over.

Being a new mother is proving to be a very challenging, overwhelming, and humbling experience. However, I must bring up the old saying: It is 100% worth it. Having Jaime in my arms fills my heart with awe and pride. It also brings another emotion very familiar to me - love, a love so huge that does not fit inside me, a love greater than any other, amazing.
