Looks like we’re moving, doesn’t it? But we’re just heading out on our first big road trip with Calvin. I have a conference in Monterey, so we’re making a vacation out of it. Traveling with a baby involves a lot more stuff!
What happens after a baby eats sand? He poops sand. Probably should have seen that coming…
Yesterday we took Calvin to the San Diego Zoo for the first time. I think he was more interested in the people than the animals, but he had a great time riding in the carrier and looking at everything. He was squealing and squawking and having a good old time. Plus, he slept the whole way down there and the whole way back. What a good boy!
Just doing a little housekeeping: since this blog has been taken over by Calvin news, I started another blog called Wrong Again for posts related to libraries and other professional interests. I’ve copied some of the relevant posts from this blog over there, and given them the category “cross-posted.” Fair warning: I’m planning to resume some non-Calvin blogging here, too. I’ve been trying to sneak in a little reading here and there, so I should have a review or two to post in the not-too-distant future. And Bravo is launching their new Project Runway competitor, The Fashion Show, this week, so I’ll be blogging about that as well, and anything else of interest (time permitting).
We got home a little before 2:00 today and Calvin is settling in nicely, in spite of his ever-so-slightly neurotic parents. He got to meet his great grandpa Cropley and Eric’s Uncle Scott and Aunt Susan today, and got another visit from Grandma.
Visitors are welcome – just give us a call!
Happy to be home

Calvin and Pap
We made it through our first night with the baby. Eric and I both felt a little clueless but the pediatrician examined Calvin this morning and thinks he’s doing great, so we apparently haven’t scarred him for life (yet). The pediatrician cleared Calvin to go home today, so we’re just waiting for a visit from my doctor and then we’ll be out of here.
He’s out of NICU and doing great. We’ve had several visitors this afternoon. Here are a couple more pics to tide you over: Calvin with Uncle Ivan and with the fabulous Lisa Mamo.
The baby is still in NICU because he didn’t eat enough yesterday to be taken off the iv but he showed some improvement in his late night feeding so if he eats well this morning they’ll let him come back to our room with us. We took advantage of his alternate accommodations and got what will undoubtedly be our last full night of sleep for a long time.
In other news, baby should have a name a little later today. We’ll keep you posted!
Baby’s looking perfect. Will probably be out of NICU tonight – woohoo!
Grandma got to hold him today. More pics below:
We spent some time with the baby in NICU this morning. He’s looking good and all signs so far are going in the right direction. We’ll know more after his next xray at noon.
He weighs in at 7 lbs. 15 oz. And he’s 20.5 inches long. We’re still working on a name but getting closer. Here are a few photos:
