More Ciaran

Over on the left is a pronunciation guide to our new dude's name from someone who has had such a cool name his whole life. Not much of a problem if you hear it once. I was a big fan of the original Gaelic spelling that we went with, so I hope everyone gets to enjoy the name as much as we do.

Ciaran continues improve from day to day. We weren't expecting to be able to hold him for another week or so but he was doing so well that they let us both hold him today. He's so incredibly tiny it's almost inconceivable that he's human, but he's precious. Here are some pictures and a video. Dawnell is just radiant here with joy at getting to hold Ciaran. And yea, I know, a video of a baby sucking a binky isn't that exciting, but on the other hand, actually it is considering he's due in two months.











Finally, don't be worried, Beckett may not quite understand what's going on, but he's remarkably resilient, acting just as goofy as ever. As Beckett would say, "here go, glasses!"
