As we enter the week before Henry turns two years old, I thought that I'd kick of a retrospective of Henry-related pictures. Think of it as a pictorial 'this is your life'. I thought that I'd begin with one of Henry and I on the second day after his birth. We're both a bit buggered, and I still find it odd that the most energetic of all involved in the birth at this point was Jen, who had actually done most of the work. I will claim some credit though, as holding her leg up in the air for a good hour with nary a complaint was not easy.

The Thinker pose is classic!
I'm glad everything worked OUT all right at and after his birth.
Mazal tov on your 700 posts. 700?!?
pfft
Dina, I do show him, and I tell him the nice things that people say from all over the world. I hope that I’m not giving him a big head. He’s only recently started to say his name when he sees his picture (although it still sounds like ‘Henny’), for a long time he pointed at himself and said ‘mama’ or ‘dada’.
Tania, you have no idea the pain of holding up that leg. It really is unimaginable.
Jackie, thankfully both births that I have attended have been pretty straightforward. Jen was reasonably quiet, no swearing (odd that, because she swears at me fine at other times), no blood outside the birth stuff, two happy and healthy bubs, no drugs needed or asked for, no tearing or stitches required. Ezra was out and in our arms 45 minutes after arriving at the hospital!
