Today the world welcomed Owen Daniel at 1:30 p.m. tipping the scales at 7 lbs, 15 oz. and 20 1/2 inches long. And unlike his sister, he was not at ALL hesitant in trying out his lungs. No sir, no chirp, chirp meepish warm-up cry for this kid. Just, top of his lungs, the moment he got fresh air, "BWAAAAAAAAH....BWAAAAAH". Like buddy, RELAX.
Mama & Owen will be in the hospital until at least Thursday, so I brought the essentials that Mama will require during her stay.
The inventory:
Entertainment Weekly
Us Weekly (last week's)
Us Weekly (this week's)
In Touch (last week's)
In Touch (this week's)
Life & Style
Cosmopolitan (Jessica Simpson cover
girl)
3 Rice Krispie Treats (from Brueggers Bagel shop, one eaten by me)
3 chocolate chip cookies (also from Brueggers)
1 20 oz Diet Coke (upon request of The Mama)
1 20 oz Cherry Coke (thought it was regular - oops)
1 package Twizzlers
I must admit, I'm feeling a little guilty about all the junk food - well, sorta. I brought it in for when I thought she (or husband Dan) would be "up for it" (like tomorrow when hospital food wasn't cutting it) but she took a few bites of a cookie and one bite of the Rice Krispie Treat. Hey, she's a nurse - she should know the limitations of C-Section post-op. This isn't even her 1st time. But still, the allure of the junk was too great for her to resist and soon after downing a full cup of water, the button marked "Reverse" was hit, and I got to see her puke it up. Uh, ...my bad? Now seeing as Kate is a nurse - a MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL, if you will, she knows that if her nurse sees, um, "Exhibit A" she will know that contraband was smuggled in and consumed. TROUBLE! The aide arrived asking what happened and Kate's response, "yeah, think I just drank too much water". Yeah, that's only the half of it, sister. Apparently the aide wasn't really looking - cuz even this insurance person could tell, "Honey, that aint water you seeing". The aide asked her, "Do you want me to get the nurse?" and Kate's all, "oh no..no, that's okay". Heh.
Anyway, on a brighter note, for Owen's first week here in Boston, Kate can tell him ALLLLL about Jen and Brad and Angelina and how Nicole Ritchie is in need of a few pounds and Britney's expectations with ratface and Jen and Ben's news, and what is up with Lindsay Lohan's hair and Tom and Katie's icky relationship and Jessica and her troubles and ...and ...well, see? There is just so much to tell him!! Hopefully this week he can catch up on all his current events!
Congrats -- v. cute!

BTW>>> You also ate one of the chocolate chip cookies - which I did drag my recently operated self out of bed to search for. I had this strange CONSTANTLY hungry feeling. As many know, I don;t generally eat that much junk food, but heck, I ate ate anything that wasn't nailed down - including the cherry coke (it was 2 am and to lazy to hit the call bell for nurse to get juice). I so appreciated all the food, mags and most importantly, the company! (SNIF, SNIF). K
