The curious young gentleman named Shaman continues to have adventures today. A group of pediatricians examined and poked him in every place imaginable, nodding in satisfaction at each other all the while. He passed a hearing test with both the oversized ears his daddy gave him. He met somebody called Rabbi Michelle who discussed some doing scary things to him, but she smiled a lot. He watched with jealousy as mom held strange suction devices to his own personal feeding spots. But he got to fill his tummy up with mommymilk for the first time, yum! He celebrated all this by sneezing the cutest, tiniest little two sneezes ever and taking a nap with mommy. That's a pretty good first Thanksgiving day for a little guy.

The day before...
It was like somebody pulled the plug on Shaman's comfortable little bathtub / uterus-home and the water started slowly draining out around 10 pm on the 24th. Mommy Tillie was up most the night with strong, intermittent contractions and finally gently woke Sam up with a piercing shriek at 5:30 AM - WE HAVE GOT TO GO!
OB triage found Tillie in significant pain but only 2 cm dilated. Everyone involved was very lucky that her water had broken. Especially lucky was Sam who would've had to somehow take Mommy-to-be home and deal with her by himself.
Labor progressed well over the next 10 hours. When finally ready to push, Tillie took it to another level and squirted out the little squirt in only 50 minutes!
These are the first known photos of baby Shaman (and family) in existence!
Happy Birthday
