Meet Shuma James Nakazawa. He was born September 20th, weighing 3854 grams and measuring 50 centimetres- a big, healthy boy. He had a little trouble breathing though and had to be taken to hospital, where he was kept for a week. We were sad to be apart but he got lots of love and care from the nurses and doctors, and long daily visits from his mom and dad. And yesterday, on his one week birthday, he came home!
See more pictures of Shuma in his photo album.
Congratulations! It's a nice name. It means "forest" in Serbian.

How are things? The first weeks are so hard, esp if you have a colicky baby, and times 100 moreso if you are nursing, too. I remember crying in tiredness and frustration and hunger. But it does all get better. Can't wait to hear more!! Take care.
