Rafi is here!

Rafael Oliver-Campbell (middle name to be decided.. suggestions welcome!) arrived on July 7th, 2009 at 4:18pm! the last few days have been a whirl-wind, and, wow, what a time we've had. We should be home tomorrow so I can write about what happened, but it was a wonderful, wonderful birthing day.. following a few days which were, well, hellish.

We just adore the little guy. He's perfectly healthy and wonderful, weighing in at 7 pounds 3oz, 19 inches... he was 9 days early. We had an AMAING birth when at first it seemed as though we were going to have a birthing story replete with interventions... Can't wait to update!




Getting to know our little Rafi!




One of the most adorable pictures EVER!

    Thank you, people!

    We are so happy.. but this baby business is HARD! He is utterly adorable and we're having a wonderful time getting to know him. Now if we could just sleep a little bit :)

    Ah yes, the sleep. I feel your pain! And I wish you as much sleep as you can get.

    The photo of Richard and Rafi makes me cry every time I look at it. These are wonderful.
