A new baby

[Dave G.]

Oh, and BTW, in that picture he's only about a two hours old.  It's amazing how much nicer they look if they don't have to pass through that ol' birth canal.

 

And, thank you everyone for all your nice responses. 

 

Patience, Dave, you're next!  Get a little extra sleep while you can, like I did.  I know it's going to a hard commodity to come by in the coming months.

Seems Tine and Ella are up next (Dec. 5th). Anyone else I'm forgetting?

Oh! That's right, Tine and Ella. And I had just read that too.

 

Just to clarify something I said earlier.... I said I wouldn't trade a minute of this for all the money in the world. I would just add a caveat that, given we knew we were having the baby in China, I wouldn't trade it for all the money.

 

In general the hospital has been very good. Lots of attentive nurses and very clean relative to other hospitals I've seen here. But, I would MUCH rather have had our child in the US. Relative to American hospitals, well, I'd say this place would be closed down in a NY minute if it were in the US.

 

I hope everyone else here gets there loved one here before the birth. It will certain be less "adventuresome" but far safer and cleaner.
