The Next Generation

Good (insert whatever time of the day it is where you are) everyone!

First of all, I’m happy to say that I have another year of hosting before I have to find another home for my blog. YAY!!! Sorry for the downtime, but it’s nice to be back up and running.

That’s really not the purpose for this post though.

As most of my readers here are also friends on one of the various social networks, you probably already know, I now have a Mini-Me!

Ren Kokubun (soon to be Kokubun-Ogden) was born at 1:14am on April 28th. He weighed 3020g at birth. That’s roughly 6.5 lbs. He’s a quiet one, but he always squeaks a little before he cries. Most of the time, he just stops at the squeak. It’s adorable.

But I digress…

Okay world, meet Ren:

This picture was taking just about an hour and a half after he was born. He was all cute and peaceful. One of the most surprising things was how quiet he was when he came out. It’s the cutest thing I’ve ever heard.

Since he was born in the early morning, I had the lovely opportunity to get kicked out of the hospital at 5am and then find my way home in the rain. Then, I went to work without any sleep. This was taken after I arrived back at the hospital after a half day of work and a full day of no sleep. I was more than just a little out of it.

This is officially day three. He was finally brought to Misa’s room to stay. As long as no other problems creep up, then we only have to wait two more days before he arrives at home!!! YAY!!! (Oh wow… that means that I just have two days to get his bed and all the other stuff I need…)

I’m sure that everyone says this about their own kids, but I think Misa and I did a pretty good job. Just need to keep him from scratching so much.

IT’S ALIVE!!!

Anyway, this is just the beginning of a new road.

I can’t wait to see what’s next!!!
