Introducing Adam James Russo

Born September 11, 2007
10:19pm
7 lbs., 4 oz.
20.4 inches

We love our baby boy very much! I have to say that the labor was harder than I expected, even with the help of my epidural. But he is worth every bit of morning sickness, each stretch mark, contraction, and soreness that it took to bring him into the world.

He has a very pleasant personality and has not fussed very much at all, except when hungry. (He's good at eating, too!) He loves to be held. He has a thick head of blond (or maybe strawberry-blond) hair.

We should be discharged from the hospital tomorrow (Thursday). We're very glad that the hospital has a wireless network connection so we can use our laptop to keep in touch with you all.

I'll post photos here as I take them.

He likes to sleep!


Adam likes to be held by his daddy.


Here's an artsy black and white photo.



Here I am after 20 hours of labor.
