Rowan is Here!

After a long and distressing pregnancy (can you say "cankles"? I actually saw a NEWS REPORT about cankles during my last week) the boy has arrived. Rowan Spence Barker was born Sep. 1 and is as cute and sweet as they come. Delivery was OK, recovery not so much . . . but I'm slowly getting better. He's eating better, too--I am nursing and was producing nothing for several days. But now I runneth over. His "bris" site is healed . . . and his belly button no longer looks, as Mila said, like a raisin. She suggested that we all tape raisins into our navels in a show of solidarity. It's so fun to watch her with him--she is so gentle and sweet. Tallis also loves to cuddle his little brother and is really a wonderful big brother.

Well, that was short, but I must run. Or waddle, at least.
