Being a new parent is like being the baseball as it is hit out of the park. Last night we had Junior in bed between us all night. The parent who is usually up and down all night (me) found this arrangement quite good, and my rest was better than it has been. The parent who usually sleeps through most of the night and then has baby duty for several uninterrupted hours in the morning (Beloved) found it not so restful a night, but we both loved having our son with us in and out of sleep and cuddling and snuggling. I think we will do this regularly, especially as the cold sets in.
Here is a photo of John's grandmother meeting Yosef for the first time -- pure joy.
