So little Gus made his appearance on Tuesday December 2nd. About 2:20 PM. Weighing just over seven pounds. And with a healthy set of lungs right from the start. Aline was feeding him by 4PM and he was snoring half an hour later.
We stayed at the Ottawa General Hospital for two nights in the exact same room we had when Hazel was born. Aline recuperated well and we were good to go home Thursday afternoon. Hazel took the first meeting very well. She wanted to hold him almost immediately.
So far he seems to be a pretty good sleeper and only cries when he’s hungry or wet. Although the little guy does appear to be a grunter.
Making monsters is Dr. Nutt’s specialty. Her best creations are the Yummy Mummy, the Boogie-Woogie Man, and her masterpiece, Dracula-la-la! who loves to sing Opera music. It’s music to Dr. Nutt’s ears, but the villagers don’t like the idea of singing vampires roaming around their town. When they storm her laboratory they are in for a pleasant surprise.
