Homecoming

I went into labor around 5 pm on Wednesday, November 25th.
We went to Alma Birth Center (by RadioCab) at 8 am on Thursday, November 26th-- Happy Thanksgiving!
Jasper Louis Proctor was born at 3:51 am on Friday, November 27th. He weighed 8 lbs, 13 oz, and is beautiful.
Around 4 pm on Saturday, November 28th, we hopped in our pedicab and rode home. Thanks, Ryan!

More soon. Now? Nursing, sleep, and dreams of fast bicycles.

Probably no relevant for 12 months minimum (per manufacturer):

But this is the best child-on-standard-bike seat I've seen. Of course, most people I know go for the trailer or the insane multi-wheeled custom bike with platforms that might as well be a trailer.

And that one guy in Somerville who unicycles with a jogging stroller. Who, I'm told, has turned into a parent-child unicycle show with a wee little unicycle spotted on bike paths.

I used to see the guy in Somerville all the time. First I saw him with his unicycle and the three-wheeled jogging stroller, and then I saw him last year with the unicycle and the stroller followed by a child on training wheels and one on a bicycle. One, two, three, four.

Welcome Jasper!

Congrats!!! Jasper's first bike ride came earlier than I thought ... nice solution to your ride home dilemma. I'll stay tuned for baby-on-bike updates!

By the way, the UW safety researcher wasn't aware of any under 1yo dummies available for comparing modes, but we could still get creative with an accelerometer and some real actual babies ...

You all look fab. Wishing you happy naps together.
