All Right!

There she is, Baby Barista. 8lbs, 12 oz. Home birth, Mamma's happy, baby's happy, Papa's happy, even big sister is happy. She's less than an hour old in this pic, I think.

Truly amazing.

Oh, and I saw the Transformers movie, too. Very good, as long as you don't care if there's a cohesive plot; you like giant robots and John Turturro. I say yes to all 3.

Oh, and coffee content... I can't imagine helping with a birth without a cup of joe. If you're up in the wee hours of the morning pushing on your wife's back during contractions, it's pretty freaking sweet to sip on an amazing Costa Rican coffee in between. Sweet, and essential. Caffeine is definitely of the essence: Honestly, I would have taken caffeine pills if I'd had to, but the Costa was much better.

Congrats on the beautiful babe! Glad that you all had a successful home experience---definitely the minimum stress way to go. And yes, that Costa is pretty sweet!
