| Lil B meeting HK 'Aunties' - 1 day old |
On Sunday, March 10th, at 11:27pm, Brennan William Foley was born. We chose the name because Brennan is Mike's middle name, and his grandmother's maiden name, and William is Mike's dad's name.
Lil B (as we seem to call him) is a sweet boy with a wonderful temperament. I have been loving these early weeks with him and admittedly neglecting my blog posts because of it.

As posted before (Pregnancy Princess), the hospital was a luxurious experience with delicious meals we chose by menu, 24 hour 'bell' service support of midwives and nurses, and private room accommodations where Mike had his own pull out bed to stay the nights with us. In a challenging time with lots to learn, we couldn't have asked for anything more.

In many ways (despite the 5-star hospital), it's tough having a baby, a first baby, so far from home. To stay connected, we send weekly photos and updates home to family. It's a small reconciliation for having their grandson/nephew/cousin so far away. A few times in these updates I have included short videos for them to see Lil B in action. If you're interested, here are the links:

The first month or so of Brennan's life is a bit of a haze. Yes, there were some sleepless nights and challenges with feeding and figuring out this whole parenting thing... but generally it was a blissful haze. Now days are becoming more predictable and lil B is becoming more interactive and smiley, it's even more wonderful. I'll let the photos tell the rest of the story, as they are so much more fun than words.
