Project Koguma - Phase 1 Complete - +1 Day

Well baby bear, you made it! Now we can officially start referring to you as Genki Orsino Buglio, instead of Koguma-chan (though I suspect that name will pop up from time to time.

I'll start by saying you held off your entrance as long as you could. For some reason you just didn't want to turn your head, so we had to take matters into our own hands and get you out of mama's belly. That was a very emotional decision and a little bit scary too. But baby and mama are safe and healthy, so in the end we made the right choice. Here's a look at the three of us when you were only a few minutes old.

What can I say? You're wonderful. We are so happy to finally see you and hold you and feed you and yes, even change your diapers. That might change, but for now it's all fun.

You sleep pretty well so far, we know that will change too, but we are glad you can sleep a little, so that we can sleep a little too. You make funny noises when you are almost asleep. You sound a little like a pig, or a frog. Strange noises for a baby bear, no?

We're going to continue this blog as long as we can. As long as feels natural. Some day we will give you a book of these entries, to show you how we were feeling week to week and month to month when you were growing inside mama's belly. Now you are growing up in the world. Like I said in the beginning: take your time out here, grow strong.
