So...Tired...

It's wonderful to be a father, after waiting many long months, and hoping and praying that things go well, and that we have a happy, healthy, strong, beautiful, bright baby...it's so emotional, and so exciting, with all our loved ones pouring out affection and support. It gives me so much hope and optimism for our future and Xander's future. Mommy and Daddy truly are grateful to all our friends and family.

We had Nana and bac Yen at the birth, and so many cousins and aunts and uncles already coming to visit. Xander is a very sociable little guy, waiting to go into fits and screaming spurts until after the guests have left. :-)


Saba hat:
Last night was very hard on Mommy. Xander just wouldn't go to sleep unless he was suckling, and as soon as he was forcibly detatched, he would start crying again. Daddy was absolutely worthless, as he ended up sleeping through the entire night, unable to move his limbs even when called. The night finally ended, and Daddy took over some duties. Mommy was served French toast in bed, and she was able to take a few naps during the day when Saba and auntie E came over to visit. Xander even slept in his Saba's arms while Daddy got beat badly at a game of chess.






A very tired Mommy and a very tired Xander say hello:

'Baby' Alexander Binh An Reifler (BABAR) Looking forward to meeting you tomorrow! 8 1/2 straight hours of labor for me today without any breaks--but that, perhaps, is quite relative. See you: Aaron, Tammy, and Xander soon-- Love, Uncle Jon

Welcome to the parenthood. Before, you guys just return Superfly back to the mom and dad, now the role is reversing. :) hehe..

Does he have enough milk so he can be comfy for at least 2 hours?
