A Big Week!

My wife and I just had our first child.

She spent the first 40 hours of her life in room 7, Unit 76, of the South Health Campus here in Calgary. We were able to sneak in just a few days before the unit was shut down because of Coronavirus (not that it had it - but that the hospital was being re-rolled).

She had her first drive on the Deerfoot, and her first radio station was 660AM, because "daddy likes the news."

Our baby has had lots of trips up and down Macleod Trail for appointments.

Her first visitor was my father, who watched her from outside the parlour. Her maternal grandma, grandpa, and aunt soon visited. Her aunt had driven all the way from Saskatoon just for the occasion!

Her first trip was a social distancing visit to the same, by the river. Then she got to meet my sister over by the new Costco on the Tsuu-T'ina.

Her first music, aside from some pre-loaded ambient stuff on her bassinet, was country 95.3, but not for very long.

The first show she listened to (rather than watched), was Joe Pera Talks with You. Very calming. Then came the news, which generally isn't.

The first album she listened to, was Manual's "The North Shore: Bliss Out v.2.0." Very calming.

Baby's first explosion was the RV in Legacy yesterday, which she and her mother both slept through. I felt it strong. I thought somebody had hit our house!

When mommy eats beans, baby gets gas. No more beans for mommy.

She is healthy and perfect. We love her so much, and her whole family does too.
