The eagle has landed: Julian David Hollywood arrives!
Nap Time with Daddy
- Minutes After Birth
He has finally arrived, our new best friend: Julian David Hollywood. He was born on Monday, 9/8 at 5:30 PM. He is 20 inches long. Labor was fairly easy….after the epidural that is. I give serious props to any woman who gives birth naturally, I could not have done it without the drugs.
It’s been a great ride, he is officially 6 days old today. Mark and I are in such of awe of him. You can’t even express the love you feel in your heart. It’s the best thing I have ever done in my life. Mark is such an amazing father. He has been there with me every step of the way.
My mom and Dad arrived the day after Julian was born and have been a godsend. Those of you that know Sandy Shaw, know that it doen’t get much better than her. She will go to the ends of the earth for him and holds and burps him all day long. My dad has been a huge help with Lily. As you might imagine, we don’t have much time for her right now and Grandpa Shaw is making sure Lily gets her daily exercise and all of the love she is so used to!

Julian does a lot of sleeping, eating and pooping right now. With each day he is becoming more alert and wide eyed.
We are watching him closely right now as he was born with Jaundice, he is on the high side of normal so we have not had to subject him to phototherapy, but we might have to soon. He still looks a little yellow. I have to say it makes his complexion look really nice…has a little tan that mommy and daddy don’t have!
Attached our some pictures of our little bundle of joy! All of my love to family and friends who have been so supportive and excited for us as we begin this new chapter in our lives. I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
