eemo! i'm an eemo!

an EEMO!!!!!!!

lorenzo lino brigode came into the world at 5:31pm on oct. 11, weighing 7 pounds, 4 ounces, and purple as a grape. he's got curly black hair and blue-grey eyes and perfect little fingers and toes. he's perfect :) sometimes he looks really asian and sometimes not, and he's got A's eyes and my sister's lips. my big sis was in labor for nearly three days but the little bambino decided he didn't want to come out that way. so he's got a little marge simpson-thing going on with his head right now from where he was stuck, which the nurses say will even out in a day or two. the nurses also say he was been eyeing the girls in the nursery while they got their baths.

my sister's response: "like father, like son."

she is recovering beautifully after surgery and was even able to nurse enzo a little bit last night, which is fantastic and unusual after a c-section. she just gazes at him and murmers, "my baby. you're my baby." A is elated and exhausted and all he can say is "if i'm this tired, i can't imagine how she feels" and while feeding him, cracking up at the mess enzo was making and saying, "man, you eat like your dad." i held him for a bit and i swear to god little enzo knows my voice ... he kept falling asleep while trying to eat and crazily everytime i whispered "wake up" to him he opened his eyes ...

U & A will probably be in the hospital until sunday, the grandparents are flooding in, and i'm so overcome with just STUFF in my head and heart that i hardly know whether to laugh, cry, or run around and squeal and dance and roll around on the ground like a crazy person. and i'm not even the one who had the baby!!!

everything, absolutely everything, is different when a new human being joins your family. everything.
