…before I post again. Our little sticky bun is finally out of the oven. Meet Nolan Michael:

Born March 22, 2008 at 12:17 a.m. after just 7 hours of unmedicated labor. 7 lbs 2.3 oz and 20″ long. We just got home from the hospital yesterday because, true to form, we already have another persnickety palate in the house: Nolan wasn’t much interested in eating anything for the first day or two and lost 9% of his body weight. But he is starting to get the hang of how “hungry” feels, and we’re making forward progress with the assistance of a breast pump.

There will be more photos of Nolan at our main blog, JcSparks.com. I’ll post again here once we’ve got our schedule a little more worked out. Good thing I didn’t put off my Daring Bakers challenge this month!
