thebratqueenI met teeny tiny super guy! He's teeny! He's tiny! He's super! He's - you get the idea.
Very small child. Little did I know the pictures Older Brother sent via email earlier today were actual size. But I got to say hello to him just as he was turning 12 hours old, and snuggled and hugged him as he lay there and blinked and explored the "hand" concept, and made little "Mmh" noises.
P-sis was resting, so OB, Dad, TTSG, and I sat around for about an hour and chatted. I got the 411 on how the birth went and will spare you the details as you've already been spoiled for the ending.
Back home I then immediately set about getting some cooking done. Currently there's baked ziti in the oven and a quiche in the toaster oven. I figure this way OB and P-sis can have good stuff to eat both early and late in the day.
I have to admit I adore doing cooking for stuff like this. When I moved back east part of what I wanted to do is be a part of family events like this. Not just the obvious holiday stuff, which I enjoy too, but the more day to day stuff where you do last-minute babysitting and nipping over with some covered dishes to help lend a hand.
Oh - slightly random question based on the midwives that OB and P-sis used: what do Orthodox Jewish women do if they're giving birth during Sabbath? Is that considered a situation where it's okay to break the Sabbath rules, or do they have special setups?
Just idle curiosity on my part. The midwives were both Orthodox, hence me wondering. =)
