-Child #2 is INFINITELY easier than child #1 – mostly because you know what to look out for, and what to NOT freak out about.
-I don’t want to jinx a thing, but this adorable bundle slept from 1am to 8am. DUDE.
-His cries mean one of 4 things: wet diper, need food NOW, I’m tired and have NO idea what to do about it, or random thing #4 we haven’t figured out yet. But that’s rare, at least in this first 24 hours.
-Malka is smitten with her little baby brother, and we only hope that we can continue to give HER as much attention as we can in this transition time.
-His birth mother did not come to placement. This makes us sad. We only hope that, in time, we will be able to be a part of her world. Malka’s birth mother has spoiled us…
-I forgot how delicious baby snuggles are. Seriously.
-He sleeps in his car seat. On his side. Weird, but hey! It works!
-Um, he has a penis.
-He takes little 45 minute cat naps, just like Malka did, and will do sometimes now.
-More to come, and we’ll share his name on February 11th, and will post more pictures to flickr after February 27th.
But for now? See what I mean about baby snuggles? 
Better than Lexapro!

Yay. That’s wonderful news! I Know you’re busy (understatement) but I’m organizing a blog carnival celebrating Freedom to Marry week, and I wanted to invite you to join in and even promote it if you like the idea. It’s a meme following the phrase, something old, something new,etc. All the details are here: http://tinyurl.com/bzdzrt and it starts next week on Tuesday. What do you think?
