Paul Alexander Guillory!

As bkseiver posted in a comment on my last post about him, my nephew has been named. Paul Alexander Guillory.

And now I have PICTURES!


Hello, little nephew!

Isn't he CUTE?

IMO, he does not look like a 3 week premie. Hah. My family makes Great Big Babies!

Maggie is ecstatic. She's been bouncing about, looking at the pictures, and talking about "her new cousin! Robyn's new baby! It's a special present for me! He's in a blanket! I have a blanket!" and so forth.

Thanks to rlseiver for sending us pictures.

There are more pictures, but I figured I'd better only post a couple. These two are my favorites.




Here's the proud Mama phoenixsinger

Dad's email said he's a very contented baby, likes to be swaddled and held, only fusses if he needs a diaper change and then calms back down afterwards. He also says

Major success this afternoon with breast-feeding. Robyn kept him happy and full from about 1 PM to after 5 PM, without resorting to the bottles at all. She was ready to feed him again after we left, as soon as she finished her own supper, and you could tell that he was just beginning to be ready, too. She got assertive with the nurses, and they've agreed to bring him to her each time that he needs to be fed tonight. Looks like she's well on her way.

WOOO! My sister ROCKS. Go her. Dad called me just now, too, and said yeah, she seems to have convinced the nurses he's to be a breastfed-ONLY baby. Woo!

Makes me feel like I've been a good role model.

I am so looking forward to meeting him in person.

He is adorable and she looks like it wasn't too bad an experience.

Congrats from both of us.

Sooooo cute! Glad you got the picture thing fixed so I could see him!

If you want to be writing a suitably celebratory filk to commemorate the occasion, I'll just note in passing that "P. Alex Guillory" scans rather nicely to "Donald McGillavry."

Congratulations!
