Meet Little Henry As He Realizes His Lot In Life

My brother, Randall and my sister-in-law, Meghan, had their second child, Henry Norman, on Monday. 

I took this video of Henry just hours after he was born. As we all stood around him introducing ourselves, he looked at us in a way that seemed disapproving and skeptical. I love his reaction when we say, "We’re your family." I think the reality of his lot in life becomes just too much for him to bear and he does one of the only things a newborn can do when they have heard too much–lose all control of his neck muscles.

(The annoying laughter coming from behind the camera is mine…sorry.)

Isn’t he adorable?

I loved that special time in the hospital just after I had my kids.  Everything was just perfect there.   I loved my little nurse’s button.

Buzz…" Can you please bring me a cranberry spritzer?" (Hoag brings them to you by the gallons!)
Buzz… "Can you bring me my baby?"
Buzz… "Can you please come get my baby, I feel a little tired?" (Ha! A little tired.)
Buzz… "I am feeling a little pain, can I have a little something?"
Buzz…"Can you come home with me, please?"

Oh, how I LOVED that nifty nurse’s button!
