I spent Monday midday in Golden Gate Park with the very pregnant Dear Daughter enjoying one of those magic San Francisco Spring days, walking the Brooklyn Brown Dog, sitting on the grass in the sun. We went home for her nap and then I drove her to a favorite produce store to stock up on groceries. We stopped in at the Thai restaurant next door and had some spicy green papaya salad, vegetarian coconut soup, sticky rice and Thai ice teas.
It coulda been the spicy salad or the fact that she was 3 days past her due date... Tuesday AM at about 1230 the labor pains began and continued through the night and into the day. The new Mom and Dad checked in to the birthing center around 5 PM and Bébé Boy was born at 10:45 PM, Tuesday, March 23, weighing in at a healthy 8lbs 11oz.
He was "born in the caul", meaning with the amniotic sac still intact around his body, which has traditionally been considered a good omen and sign of good luck. We, of course, are already sure that he is extraordinary.
He was back home in SF with the happy parents by 3 am this morning and slept until 8:00 am or so, another good sign we think.
He hasn't chosen his name yet. I get to meet him tomorrow. Maybe he will whisper it in my ear.
Love to you and thanks for holding watch with me.
