VJ was born this week on Tuesday morning at 1 am. Mom went into early labor during her sleep before waking up on Monday morning. (She didn't know she was having contractions, but was tossing and turning all night long) At 6 am her water suddenly broke, so she and Dad went to the hospital. Everything checked out fine, so Dad and I were allowed to return home to wait for full labor Everyone said it, but nothing can prepare you for how much time and energy it takes to care for a newborn. It's so overwhelming (lots of feelings of love, worry, concern, fatigue - both physical and mental, etc)! This "parenting-a-newborn thing" sure is one hell of a roller coaster ride. So so so much work.
But the little one is doing pretty well. He has a small case of jaundice, so we might have to admit him into the hospital this week-end... We hope to send more details about VJ and his birthday when things settle down. Dad and I are both feeling very proud and are already completely smitten over the little guy.
Here is his first picture:
