Of course you can't tear your eyes away - she's deliriously beautiful! Have you resisted going all NOM NOM NOM on those rosy cheeks yet? 'Cause if you have, you're a stronger individual than I! What's amazing about newborns is how they *feel* - like their skin is made from clouds, and they're not fully "matter" yet. So incredible.
We'll forgive you for the lapse in posts - my God, you've got better things to do. Congratulations to you and Jayne. Enjoy this intoxication.
Makes me want to have one of my own... or maybe not.
Anyway, take your time rejoicing with your new baby. Remember, every stage of her life will pass by really quickly so you better be watching --and enjoying!
Ok, Chez...I know what you're feeling. Just remember: Only have the ONE girl...and always tell her she's your absolute number one favorite GIRL ever. That way, you can be head over heels for her AND Jayne, and neither gets short shrift. At least until Inara becomes an adult. But by then she's getting ready to break your heart by considering getting married one day, so at that point, you can slight her a tiny bit by relegating her to second-place adult woman.
Oh, wait. I just remembered that you have another girl already. Shit, you're emotionally and karmically screwed then.
i remember my own...she's the size of my younger two girls at birth. it was so LONELY inside after they came out, no more movement, that constant awareness of another [alien] life form inside, needing me. so quiet.
i think a lot of postpartum depression is from that lonely after the babe comes out. empty. one of the reasons i breastfed for so many years, it was a way of getting that closeness again.
god, she's beautiful.
get rest. lots of rest. relish it. file it away for the future, for the days you will want to kill because before you know it she'll be a teenager doing the same stuff you did...

NOTEWORTHY THINGS SAID ABOUT ME & THIS SITE BY PEOPLE WHO'VE ACTUALLY ACCOMPLISHED SOMETHING IN LIFE
"Interesting, unique... generally unassailable points."
-- Chuck Klosterman, best-selling author of Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs and Eating the Dinosaur
"That mad bent towards suicidal honesty that all my favorite people share."
-- David Baerwald, Golden Globe-nominated singer-songwriter
"Cuts through media bullshit like a hot knife through bullshit."
-- Drew Curtis, founder of Fark.com
"Pazienza could be accused of many things... but he could never be faulted for dumbing us down. His glued-shut prose and bawdy metaphors provide a deeply appreciated, and hilarious, literary diversion."
-- Gelf Magazine, "Insolence Is Bliss," June, 2008
"Snarly, not snarky."
-- Andrew Breitbart
"A delusionally subjective, condescending blog, filled with hostile generalizations and a million exaggerations."
-- Paul Krassner, 60s counter-culture icon
"You're the Antichrist."
-- Mary Elizabeth Williams, Salon.com
"It is truly sad that someone like Mr. Pazienza has a public forum to express his views. In a more civilized time he would, at best, be confined to an institution for the criminally insane or, at the very least, marginalized from civilized society."
-- Huffington Post commenter "Pharmacan," October, 2010

As it should be. And don't babies just smell so good? Congrats.
Take your time, this is kinda special. We'll still be here, the world can wait.
What if this becomes the new 'regular'? I doubt anyone would object.
so far so good, she seems to be taking more after mom...
I don't blame you. the first week or two were kind of a daze. And not just due to less sleep. It's a game changer, this new baby business.
So CUTE.
I do see a bit of Morena in her!
She's just delicious, Chez. Congratulations to you and Jayne.

You better get a stick to beat back the boys. My son is only 18 mos and he pointed at her picture on my screen and smiled. ;)

Chez I would think by now (2 days) you would have crayons and a pad out for her!

Of course you don't. She is just beautiful.
good thing she looks like mom, eh?
:P
Get used to it... Daddy's going to be wrapped around Inara's tiny little pinky finger for the rest of his life. As he should be.
And oh, I remember those pouty little infant lips. She is so precious. Almost makes me want to have another one. Almost. ;)
baby Inara!! keep posting them!
she is beautiful.
i remember my own...she's the size of my younger two girls at birth.
