after 35 hours of this:
we finally met this little guy:
(it took us a couple of days, but we finally named him)
Pace Andrew Coombs
Born: 10.14.2010
7 lbs 7 oz
20"
he is definitely his daddy's son: brown hair, brown eyes (brown from birth, no newborn blue!), a smile to die for, cheeks you want to kiss and snuggle. he is mellow, peaceful, and so, so precious.
pace did not like the bright lights, camera flashes, and cold room when he was born. wailing and flailing--he was very uncomfortable. david walked right over to the warmer and began talking to him. pace immediately calmed down, and tracked david with his eyes until he could "see" david (or at least look in the direction david's voice was coming from), and locked his gaze on david for a full 3-5 minutes. david reads out loud to me while i'm cooking dinner, so we're sure pace got to know david's voice in utero. i am so glad these boys have taken to each other--what a special bond to have from birth. i'm one lucky girl.
pace loves a good snuggle. i tried to convince my orthodontist to take my braces off before i had the baby, so i wouldn't look like a 13 year-old in labor...didn't happen. you might get better smiles in the next month or so...
i tried doing a cute photo shoot today, but pace just got a more and more worried look on his face. welcome to two weeks old, little pacemaker!
