On Monday, I was privleged enough to attend the birth of the lovely little Hazel B. She's absolutely one of the most beautiful brand-newborns I've ever seen with chubby cheeks and a perfect dimple in her little chin. Her mom did an AMAZING job and they're both doing well. I'd say more, but I feel like that's their story to tell, and if you know who I'm talking about, you can just go read about it on their blog.What on earth does a picture of eggs have to do with any of this? Well their sweet L&D nurse, Suzanne, came back to help mama with the pushing stage long AFTER her shift was over, and when she did she brought me some eggs laid by her very own chickens as a way of saying thanks for taking good care of her patient. (which basically meant a whole lot of foot rubbing, and position suggesting, and cheerleading) I always love attending births, but this one was special for many reasons, and it felt dang good to have someone (a professional, even!) tell me that I'm doing a good job. So, forgive me for tooting my own horn. I think I'll go eat some eggs now.

Those are pretty eggs . . . she must have thought you did an awesome job because she took the time to wash off the chicken poo. Our chickens lay little tiny eggs -I'd have to use a dozen to make it worthwhile (chicken poo is also a turn off to me). Love ya!
Congratulations
Good job on another successful coaching job. :D
nice. you are keeping your babies gender as a surprise huh,... I keep forgetting,.. when are you due?
that was supposed to be 2 separate comments.
nice.
your baby's gender is going to be a surprise right? I think I remember you saying that.
Hey Joe! I can't believe we stumbled on your blog! This has just made my day. I spend hours surfing blogs looking for people I know just to see if their lives are better than ours. If they are (which is totally rare), I usually post anonymous threats or cyber-bully their kids. Sure, my personal life has suffered immensely because of my excessive time on the internet, but it has become an unbeatable addiction similar to alcohol or something else that really isn't good for you except at parties. Like alcohol. Anyway, I'm glad to see you are doing well and your family looks great. That doesn’t surprise me, though. The first time I saw you in hip waders I thought, “That guy is going places.” And you have, Joe. You have. Love, Tyson Packer
Kudos to the best doula on the block! You were incredible.
Hey! I thought I was the cutest baby. That is totally unfair!Did I lose my favorite and cutest baby place?
To be fair, Alissa, I said that Hazel was the cutest brand-newborn that I've ever seen. I didn't get to see you until you were a couple of days old.
