Thanks everyone! In spite of the lack of sleep, he has so far been a true "bundle of joy".
@ Greyhaunt: I thought I'd mentioned my absence via the super-secret moderator channels that no one is supposed to know about. OOOOPS! I wasn't suppose to say that!
Anyway, much more drama aside from just the baby, including getting his room ready, stuff breaking (car, water heater, air conditioner) and the final insult of my washing machine breaking two days before he was born! Still isn't fixed yet, BTW. Then, after a mostly flawless pregnancy, Mommy got sick (toxemia), baby had to be delivered early and we all spent several extra days in the hospital. So yeah, I've been a *bit* distracted recently. :lol
@Evelien: The box opening got a little messier than we planned so the photos are "out of the box". He decided to customize his factory faceup by wiggling out of his gloves and scratching his nose. Supposedly, this is to "add character" and because "chicks dig scars", or so he tells me. He shipped with the default dark gray eyes until the factory sends the random color choice in a few months.
@SetsunaKou: Thanks for the e-card! I saved it to the photo file I have of him on the desktop here at home.
@Lamia and Misty: It's weird but several people have gone out of the way to comment on his looks. I'll be honest that sometimes, newborns are um, *ahem* not quite so cute.
*cough* UGLY *cough* But in this photo, he's probably no more than an hour old and already seems pretty darn cute. I even asked some folks if this was just my "parental blindness" but perhaps not. Maybe this bodes well for him in the future.
@KitKat: Toys everywhere is right. Hopefully, he'll like Daddy's old toys 'cause, well, there are plenty of them!
