Dr. Boldt is the greatest of all time!

We offer the following proofs:

1. Always fit us into her busy personal schedule for prenatal visits.
2. Gave us a quick "reassurance ultrasound" before we left for Florida for 5 weeks
3. Knew Shaman was a boy for 7 months and never let on once to Mom and Dad.
4. Called Tillie's cellphone with lab results after-hours.
5. Is the only Canadian, vegetarian, dogsledder we have ever met. (all 3 of those are pretty cool)
6. Allowed Sam and Tillie to stay late in her office while they asked questions of Anesthesia the week before Shaman came.
7. Joined us to be a big part of Shaman's delivery even though she was not on call.
8. Smiled all the time and made us feel good every time we saw her.
9. Visited the Venus Family every day we were in the hospital (multiple times) even in between her surgical schedule.
10. Has a cooler haircut than Sam.
11. Told us Shaman was beautiful - not like those other babies that are ugly when they are born. We believe her!

First bath ever

Shaman's nurse gave him his 1st sponge bath last night.

Black Friday

Sam awoke early this morning to go Black Friday shopping while Mom and Son slept. He sharpened his elbows and fought off the hordes of deal-thirsty octogenarians at the Mayo Clinic Store in the subway. The adult diapers and sleep-apnea equipment were flying. You could hear peoples hips snapping in two as they stampeded towards the unparalleled selection of sale-priced compression hosiery. Sam made it out of the harrowing experience with his prize: a top-of-the-line breast pump.

Be smart and safe, you last-minute shoppers. Beat the crowds and order your urology and ostomy supplies online!

Who is this loser?

Shaman wishes to inform everyone that he does not think he looks anything like this guy. Saying "Hellooow" to him in that voice is getting old. Please stop asking him where Lenny is. That is all.

Little gobbler

Shaman celebrated Turkey Day as he turned 24 (hours) in a most nutritious way; mom-milk plus some bottle for dessert.

His parents enjoyed the best spread that the Rochester Methodist Hospital cafeteria had to offer. Sam and Tillie left an aftermath to be proud of.
