Nog+Chog

More pics from the last few days. Melinda and I started sleeping in overlapping shifts which seems to work out well. Miss Norah is a great big sister and wants to help us with everything.

Charles is a really mellow baby compared to when Norah was his age. He rarely cries and when he does it pretty brief and usually involves a diaper change or feeding. He also prefers to have his hands free (instead of packed in a swaddle like his sister did) and he doesn’t like going without a diaper.

He had his first checkup at the Dr.’s office yesterday. Everything is going great and he’s happy and healthy.

Here are some pics from Melinda’s recovery in the hospital

Welcome to Earth, Charles Nelson Duritsa! Here is the first round of photos. I will be posting more video tonight.

We are here in the hospital. Melinda delivers via cesarian in a half hour!

Yes, we hope her strength and mystical powers don’t leave her. She looks so buttoned up after a little trim.

Norah turned the big “3” a few weeks ago. We had a little party with her buddies at her daycare. It was sort of a last hoorah, because it was her last week there. Mom is now staying at home with Miss Norah full time.

I have been a little quiet on the Nog for a while. So here are a bunch of other pictures.
