Little Emanuel Sankar-Vanderherberg

I am on the phone with Steve and Stacy and he has said it has been a stressful first week. This is the gist of the conversation: Thank God for midwives. They supplement. He got better at breastfeeding. Steve hasn't slept too much. Little Emu (my suggestion as a nickname) was up from 1 to 4. He cluster feeds (feeds and then wants to feed again 15 minutes later). Wailing at 3 in the morning. Sometimes he just wants to cry at 5 AM. It's kind of been like that. Steve is trying to work at home and the Internet crashed. They're loving the granola at 3AM in the morning. Stacy wants more granola from Andrea. Steve likes the bike I got him from the B!ke shop below the Third Space and will probably want another one with the rate his get stolen at. They're doing really wall all things considered and want us to visit. This is a bit of a jumbled blog post but that is how the conversation went. Here's the intimate family photo.


and another one with beautiful Aunt Laura and the bundle of joy.

And another with Aunt Andrea.


and one with my bare-chested brother and proud father Stephen.
