Oscar's home!
We came home from hospital today. FINALLY!
Feels wonderful to be a family in our home. Feels so different. Feels right.
Oscar Joshua Yen-Jo Lee was born on February 6 at 3:05am at BC Women's Hospital. He was a very surprising weight of 8.4 lbs and was 21 & 3/4 inches. Long baby.
Big baby.
Laboured for 55 hours. Loved every minute of it. It simply meant that he was that much closer to being here! (Don't get me wrong, the labour pains were something fierce.. but much more on that later.)
It was quite the traumatic birth for the little guy, and very traumatic for me as I couldn't be with him right away, and couldn't start feeding him until about 36 hours later... but he's ok, (he was the "Big Kid on Campus" in the intermediate nursery!), he's home, he's healthy, he's a monster at breastfeeding, he's a devil at peeing on his own face, he has the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen, and he is, quite simply, Love.
More, much more, later. For now, it's time to nap with my little guy.

PS Please tell us more about the Yen-Jo part of Oscar's name.
Amazing attitude and energy - as usual. What a lucky little guy to have you two as parents. Sounds like the breastfeeding is going well. So looking forward to reading about the next part of the adventure.
Congratulations! So glad to hear from you. Can't wait for the "more on that later" section!
Congratulations Stephanie! I'm so happy to hear Oscar is thriving and well! I echo everyone else when we can hear more about your labour and delivery, but for now, enjoy these first weeks of motherhood. We'll still be here later. :)
