Hey all: Adam and I welcomed our son, Samuel Jaehyun Lisi on February 14th. Ten days late, he insisted on being born on Valentine's Day (at 11:57pm to be exact). Laboring was tough and ultimately ended in a c-section because he just wouldn't engage and come down. Turns out it head was tilted (asynclitic is the term the doctor used). 6 lbs, 12 oz, and 19 inches long. He eats really well and sleeps well too; can't really say that I am truly sleep deprived yet, which is great, although I am definitely walking around in a sort of fog. The world seems so different now, as Adam and I adjust and pinch ourselves at God's little miracle. At times I feel terrified and overwhelmed at all that is to come, and then other times I feel excited about the unknown. What a crazy feeling. Referring to myself as Samuel's "mom" is completely strange and exhilarating. I'm sure all you parents out there can remember this newborn period; any tidbits of advice? ----Stacey & Adam

Stacey - Little Samuel is a beautiful little boy! I love the name, too! My main piece of advice - nap when he naps when you can. Congratulations!
Wow. Congrats, Stacey.
Advice? Hmmm. Take a lot of pictures and video. We have huge undocumented gaps in Josh's life. And ditto what Jin said.
Congratulations Stacey! What beautiful & soulful eyes. I hope you are doing well too. Speaking to so many of my girlfriends who have had children, it seems important to remind yourself that you don't have to be a perfect mom to be a good mom. =) Love, Sunny
Yet another miracle. Glad things went well. Congrats on the beautiful son!
Thanks so much for all your congrats and encouraging words. There are definitely times when I wonder what we were thinking when we decided to have a baby......even when Samuel is totally behaving and being a great baby........post-partum blues is real. But it definitely helps to see and hear good advice from all of you. Thanks!
