It's a Boy!

Richard Joseph
born March 29, 2010

8 pounds, 6 ounces;

22 inches long.

I'm sorry for the delay in posting. I've been taking my time, getting re-adjusted to life at home with our new little boy. Everything is going so wonderful and we couldn't be more thankful for his addition to our lives. God is so good--his love endures.
More to come soon. I promise.

I'm done now.

Turns out, I had an allergic reaction to.......something.
The doc wan't sure what happened to my face, but called it scaly.
Cool.
It still covers well with makeup, so I'm not too stressed about it, plus it's a lot better today and I'm not nearly so itchy. Yay!

Between you and me, I've been really down in the dumps since Saturday. I just couldn't put my finger on what was bothering me.
I couldn't put my finger on it, but I kept having visions of you-know-what's ripping open, and birthing squished up, blue infants that come out screaming and never stop until the day. they. die.
Rich and I talked about it last night and I have come to a conclusion:
Yeah, I don't want to do that.

I suspect that I have had an allergic reaction to giving birth.
