Three Generations of Scobles

Wow, you all like a good ship party! Me too, and what a party.

Today Thomas Hawk came and shot a bunch of photos that are really precious.

This one is my favorite photo of my dad.

Patrick has been carrying around our new Canon 5D and I predict he might give Thomas Hawk a run for the money! He’s gotten some awesome photos, we’ll get some up later so you can compare his photos with Thomas’. The kid has already started copying Thomas’ moves (machine guns the 5D, which takes up lots of memory cards very quickly. Milan has already had 8 gigabytes of photos taken of him. Damn, I remember when a gig of data storage was something only a huge corporation could afford.

Anyway, I’m beat and I had the easy job. I have a newfound respect for mothers.

Milan is spending his time in the special needs nursery because Maryam had a slight fever during birth. Turns out they are ultra paranoid about infections and so they are paying extra attention to Milan. Which means Maryam gets some very needed rest. Patrick and me are home now, back for more fun in the morning.

Another thing that has my attention on Maryam? Her epidural didn’t work very well. So, she gave birth saying it was like having a knife stuck in her and someone twisting it.

Some little known facts:

He was born at 2:24 a.m. this morning.
Weighed 9 lbs.
21 inches long.
Middle name is “William” after my dad’s name, pictured above.
We picked “Milan” because Maryam has been bugging me to take her to Italy for quite some time. When Milan showed up I told her “there goes your Italy trip for now.”

Anyway, we’re having a great time and thanks Thomas for the beautiful first-day images.

  3. Congratulations! BTW, Milan shares the birthday with my 1st daughter (she turned 5 years old today).

    9lbs is no little baby! I also wish Maryam a speedy recovery. Yup, we get the easy part, so now it’s the time to give back 🙂

  27. Glad to hear that all is well and both mother and baby are healthy. I’m looking at this situation in my own life in the coming month, or rather whenever our first baby decides that he/she wants to great the world.

    Thomas took some fantastic photos. I am looking forward to the photos that Patrick has taken. I think I need to get an additional 4GB card before the baby gets here and a new external hard drive just for the baby’s photos.

  31. Congratulations! I am so glad everyone is doing great and made it safely through the journey! Makes you wonder what people did before there were hospitals. That is a real bummer that Maryam’s epidural did not take all the way. That happened to my wife also and it is not fun at all. (our son is one) I can’t believe how much I have enjoyed following along through this process. Thanks so much for sharing it with everyone. It really made me remember our birth experience and how the whole thing is such a whirlwind, crazy, intense, beautiful experience! Congratulations to again to everyone.

  33. I admire the transparency with which you handled the labor and delivery. I believe it will help others who are having their first baby and need to know it’s nothing to be afraid of (everyone always is)

    I’m coming up next weekend to see Milan! (Well, to go to Health 2.0, too) But I will respect your need for privacy if Maryam needs rest. Let me know. And much love.
