The First 24...

Little Samson Kroo is simply amazing and adjusting (reasonably well to the new environment.) He's a very calm baby that never cries for long (I'm sure I'm jinxing this). He seems to like us as parents which is nice  - though he has not verbalized this yet, one can assume. Danielle feeds him. I wipe his butt and burp him. What else is there? oh - the swaddle.....

Important stats that we are keeping track of:


1) Hours slept since 8am April 22: probably 8

2) # Times Samson farted in my hand: 1 per parent (and it was awesome)

3) # times Samson pooed in a nurses hand (big time!) as she changed him: 1

4) # times I managed to be out of the room when a nurse changed a diaper: 2 (but I've gotten my fair share since)

5) # Number of times a nurse said "sharted": 1. and yes, it was hilarious.

6) # of times we were visited by the nurse they call "Big Jugs": 1 (and it is true)

7) # times I thought about how crazy I am for writing this instead of sleeping?: 4. exactly.

In all seriousness, everyone here has been awesome and the first 30 hours of Samson's young life have been incredible to be a part of.

Pictures for you amusement:

He really takes after Danielle as an excellent napper. Or he's a newborn baby. Either way....

Last night's complementary dinner. This looks like prison food except worse. But it is Kosher for Passover....

(For the Luft/Kroo  family) Dinner included party beets!
