Party of Four

Theodore James Hartwell made his debut this morning at 6:47 AM. Eight pounds, one ounce of pure chaos and the most beautiful baby I’ve ever seen (sorry Sophie, but he’s tied with you). He has Marcus’s dark hair and what I suspect are going to be my lungs based on the impressive volume he achieved in the delivery room.

Marcus held him for the first time and said “we know what we’re doing this time.” Reader, we absolutely do not know what we’re doing. But Theo doesn’t seem to care. He just wants to be held and fed and loved, and those things we can definitely handle. Plus Sophie has already appointed herself as his personal juice box attendant.

Two kids. I now have two tiny humans who depend on me completely and I’m equal parts terrified and completely in love. Send coffee. Send wine. Send reinforcements. We’re going to need all the help we can get with this beautiful, loud, perfect little boy.
