We visited Josh and Hayley's baby today. We saw Josh and Hayley when we were there too. They aren't solid on a name yet but they like Channing as the first name. It's Josh and Rick's middle name. It comes from Rick's side. It was the first name of his grandfather. His grandfather was 11 of 12. They were having problems thinking of a name. The doctor that delivered was Dr. Channing. So they used it. That's the family story anyway.
They had a difficult time last night. The baby was up most the night. Welcome to the world of parenthood. The hospital was resisting to give anything other than nursing. At 3am they finally insisted. He ate and slept. What goes around comes around. We had the same experience with Joshua. He came out hungry. These photos were taken at 7:30pm on Sunday - 1.5 days old. He was considerably more alert with his eyes open. The full collection is on the Picasa site.
Hayley's parents drove from Utah yesterday to be here with her. Her sister and husband live in the area. So there will be lots of support. The hospital was nice. Josh has stayed with her the entire time. He is sitting on the chair that folds out to a bed.
The swelling on his face is going down.
His bullet head isn't as large either.

Oh I so empathize with a first baby who won't eat and screams... I had to take my first baby (Thomas, who's now 10) back to the hospital after being home for a day. There the lactation specialist held him to my breast for 45 minutes screaming. There's no way I'd have done that to him or myself! I was so grateful to have a professional help me!
Congrats to everyone!
Congratulations on a job well done! Channing looks like he has reddish hair. Hayley, you look gorgeous, as usual. Enjoy these days when yoy know where your son is, what he is doing, and that he cannot talk back to you. Love to all 3 of you.
