a little late, but our first snuggle, with somebody checking out the view.
Daddy’s got a few more pics on flickr if you click through…mama and baby are stuck in the hospital (where there is one sad little ancient non-SD-card processing public computer in the basement) for at least another day while Posey learns to feed without slurping somebody’s nipples off. she’s coming along beautifully…we would have made 37 weeks today.
i am so delighted in her, so glad she’s here. you will be subjected to further photo adventures galore upon our arrival home.
ps. the wishes have overwhelmed us. the part of me that imagines i’m Martha Stewart’s illegitimate progeny thinks i’ll work them artfully into her baby scrapbook somehow. i promise i’ll at least print them, make sure there’s a record of her wonderful, warm welcome to the world. thank you, all.

and her mama, too.

Right, off to Flikr I go. Been checking all day for more news, was getting desperate when I read this! So you’re scrapbooking for her too? How’s the other one going?

You look so happy in this picture, it’s breathtaking to see.
September 12th, 2008 at 9:06 am
You guys totally freaking rule.
That is all.
Now go kick some butt Posey.

oh, weepy, weepy me. Damn, I even put on make up to impress “them” at school drop off. You’d think I was the one all hopped up on hormones.
Mwah.

Oh, she’s glorious! (And you? You’re beautiful!) Many many good wishes and blessings!

She only has one eye open, like a true little pirate baby. Aarrrggghh, after me own heart, she be!
(I love pirate jokes, and all things pirate.)
Again I say, you look fresh as a daisy in these photos. A beautiful pair.

Whenever I doubt my career choice (I’m in school for midwifery) I look at photos like these. The look in your eyes makes it all worth it.
(She is so precious and I love love love her name)

I’m so struck by mama’s beauty I almost missed the wee baby there.
September 12th, 2008 at 11:00 am
Congratulations. She’s beautiful and so well-loved already.
September 12th, 2008 at 11:33 am
Congratulations, I’m very happy for you!
September 12th, 2008 at 12:12 pm
Simply beautiful, mama. Baby and mother, the perfect pieta.
September 12th, 2008 at 12:33 pm
The photos are just beautiful. Thanks for sharing such intimate moments them with us. Bon comparing you and Dave in the pics, it looks like *he* was the one that went through labor! Hee hee. No offence Dave…it’s just a way of saying that Bon looks positively radiant!(probably still doesn’t make it right, but anyway!)
Get busy and make more memories. Looking forward to seeing more photos of wee little Josephine.
September 12th, 2008 at 12:51 pm
She is perfect. You look radiant too. So thankful and glad it went so smoothly.
Welcome to the world little Posey
September 12th, 2008 at 1:08 pm
You guys look fantastic! Welcome Posey which I think stands alone as a fine name. Her other ones are sweet too. Well done Bon!
September 12th, 2008 at 1:21 pm
Bon you look unbelievably radiant and Posey is just gorgeous. I am just.so.happy.for.you.

Anta – I agree, Dave looked beat! I sometimes think for a minute that it’s as hard to see someone you love going through childbirth as it is actually giving birth. Then I REMEMBER giving birth and know that the guys have it easy! Of course, John nearly had a broken hand by the time I was through with him…
September 12th, 2008 at 3:11 pm
Oh! Oh! Oh! You are both so beautiful!
September 12th, 2008 at 3:33 pm
look at all of that beautiful in one place!
September 12th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
Yay yay yay! You look happy Bon, so happy.
September 12th, 2008 at 6:00 pm
Make sure this photo makes it into the scrapbook, too: it’s completely stunning.
September 12th, 2008 at 6:13 pm

September 12th, 2008 at 8:37 pm
You look so, so perfect.
What a radiant mama. And I love the tiny one eye expression.
September 12th, 2008 at 9:12 pm
How can you look so damn glowing so soon after you have had a baby? Huh?
