Dragon Baby



Dominic was so quiet the night he was born and just wanted to sleep. "This is great!" Tony and I said to each other. "He will be our most mellow baby yet!" Not so, I am afraid. After we got home from the hospital he took a turn for the worse and proved to be our FUSSIEST baby yet. He was a natural birth (born too quickly for an epidural . . . I had been in the delivery room for all of about 15 minutes when he was born) and he had a terrible latch which caused cracked, bleeding nipples, and I couldn't put him down for the first two months because he would scream. We nick-named him our dragon baby. I wasn't quiet sure I liked him. ;-) But, we hung in there and the rewards are great. He makes us laugh. His smile is infectious and lights up the whole room. He sleeps 10 hours a night and is already 15 pounds at 2 months! Not only do I like him, I LOVE him, and I'm pretty sure everyone else here does too.
