Odds and sods relating to the baby
Just a bunch of bits and pieces, some of which I forgot to comment on yesterday. 
* Text Message from Sharon last night - Meconium! And vomit. Bub is rather indignant at the indignities of a working digestive system ;-)
* During the labour, Sharon listened to the Space Capades CD twice. It was the only music CD she listened to.
* I rather enjoy laying back with Lex asleep on my bare chest.
* Sharon refused to let me name him William Hartnell Oz, even though I explained that that would make his intials W.H.O., which would be very cool!
* She also refused to let me name him Spuds McGinty.
* It feels weird to not be able to celebrate with Mitch and Mondy. I miss them very much. I would probably miss them less if I were better at keeping in contact with them.
* I have already had conversations with other adults that contained information about Lex's bowel movements. I am offically the parent of a baby.
* My mother has obviously forgotten anything she ever knew about babies.
* My mother was also rather surprised to learn I had changed Lex's first nappy. She is still dealing with the idea that I will be changing Lex. Apparently my dad never changed me.
* Sharon comes home Tuesday.
* I could happily photograph pregnant women all day long.
* Hespa will make a great aunty.
* I wish dad was here to see his grandson. I like the idea that he knows, but my logical brain tends to hold to the notion death is the end.
* I went out today and picked up three newspapers from yesterday to keep for Lex. I find the newspaper kept for me by my father fascinating to glance at.
* I am not riding my trike this week. Since I am already tired and I want to be in a good state to help out Sharon, I don't want to risk wiping myself out any further.
* However, I shall be going swimming tomorrow.
* My chocolate cigars are at the Post Office. This is good because Bill and Diane who work there would have been given one each anyway.
* I'm still tired, being stroke boy made the whole support Sharon thing extra tiring for me. Sharon is doing rather well.
* Lex's first episode of Doctor Who will be ep. 1 of Dalek Invasion of Earth. It's what I'm up to, and I'm waiting until he's home before I watch it. He will probably be asleep on my chest through it, but it counts.
* I still have to get an email written up to send out to people.
* We have finally decided that yes, his name will be Alexander, though we will pretty much always call him Lex. And never Xander.

No-one can deny it's an end. And here you are, at a beginning, as well.
Cheers. I hope you're well.

Is Lex a Who reference? (showing my ignorance) Or Superman?
no subject
Our brains must work very similarly . . .
no subject
As to references I do tend to think of Lex Luthor from Superman, Alexander the Great, Alexander De Large from Clockwork Orange, and the Lexx, from Lexx. Lexx is the inspiration for the new Lex icon.
I actually like Xander. When I first heard it I thought it was an interesting variant. But Buffy's buggered the name for a little while.

But dude - BEAUTIFUL BABY. Oh my GOD, it does my head in!
And listen to the wise drjon. *hugs*

Your next difficult decision will be how quickly you can show him episodes 4 - 6 of Star Wars, and how long you can put off showing him eps 1 -3.

Clara's first SF has been Babylon 5 - we're up to season 3 now during feeds.
And yes, people do forget all the details about very young babies, even those who only had one a few years ago!

glad all is so far going well

Of course, you realise that, in 12-14 years times when he's entering the whole evil teenage boy rebellion phase, the fact that you've called him Lex all his life will mean that he will naturally turn around and demand to be called Xander instead. :-)

See, adult conversations about poo. I'm a parent.

The most potent act of rebellion he could manage would be to become a Liberal-voting accountant.

Unlikely, and good, but freaky!

Big, heartfelt congratulations to you all from me and Rob.

And Mondy is quite jealous, so keep your eye on Lex!
no subject
Funny thinking of Mondy being jealous of a bub. He'd make such a great dad, and you'd rock, too... though not as a dad :)
All going well we'll hit Melbourne in 6-8 weeks, so we can test Mondy's clucky-factor then ;)

Right, off to look for pics and make preparations in case the world ends suddenly as a direct result of you becoming a parent. Just in case.

Lex has the cutest little birth mark - a little 616 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/616_(number))
