Another Eleftherios, Another Envelope in a Tree!
And if you look closely behind it, you may recognize the picture of Teri hanging in the picture-ornament behind the envelope.
Merry Christmas, South Carolina...

Monticore, No!
Ever so slowly, our cats are starting to discover the baby. This only increases the probability of his first words will be "Monticore, no!"

Bryn and Jeff to the Rescue
Our extra-deep, pillow-top mattress sitting atop an elevated sleigh bed may make for an excellent night's sleep. That is, if you can get to it. After abdominal surgery, climbing atop our bed has been quite painful for Emily. So it was clear that some sort of footstool or stepladder was needed. Problem: I'm 6'4", so stepladders generally aren't needed. Problem: with over a foot of snow, getting to the store wasn't gonna be easy. Fortunately for us, Bryn and Jeff came to our rescue! They went to Target and purchased a stepladder for us! Why? 'Cause they're the best...
Day Four, Back to Business
You can't see the computer screen in front of me, but it's still finals period at the law school, and so I spent a portion of my day studying for my White Collar Crime final with my new study group. The kid's only four days old, and already he understands the difference between a RICO Conspiracy charge, and a Conspiracy charge with RICO as the predicate offense better than I do.

Last Update of the Day
Off to Wegmen's to stock up on supplies before the next snowstorm. Baby was born right before the first storm, and should be home right before the next one. The kid may not have a name yet, but clearly he has timing.
More Photos (and Last Update for a While)
Back to the hospital after a return to our apartment. With a blizzard on the way Saturday night, it's a race against to the clock to see if we can bring the little guy home...
(Oh, and by the way, Emily made that hat!)
What do Emily and Britney Spears Have in Common?
How many mothers text-message soon after delivery? I'm guessing two. In Emily's defense, she text messaged only because our access to Facebook is limited in the hospital room.
Grammy and Grumpa
Six inches of snow wasn't enough to keep the grandparents away. Two shoobies from Cape May, folks. Compliments of our plowed roads. Ithacans, thats your tax dollars at work.
Snowed In!
The photos and birth announcement were delayed, in part, due to a snow storm that hit Ithaca just hours after the baby was born. I can't think of a more fitting Ithaca introduction for our baby. Actually, it's the second best Ithaca introduction for the kid; we're paying for his hospital stay with Ithaca Hours.
Untitled Baby Bornhorst Project
So we had the shortlist of names typed and packed, ready for our hospital trip.
But then we saw him; now we're not so sure any of the names fit. And so we're revisiting the naming decision.
Thus, on this open thread, I encourage you all to post your predictions. We won't have access to the blog before we name him, so don't feel pressure, this is purely for entertainment purposes. Oh, and a way to drive traffic back to the blog; admit it, you're curious as to how this turns out.

Scrubbed In. But Ready to Go?
After approximately 40 hours of regular contractions, the doctors decided that a c-section would be the best way to bring our baby into the world. Emily took the news like a champ. As for me, well, for the past nine months, I wasn't sure whether I could stomach cutting the cord. Now I'm being ushered into the O.R.
Even worse -- I wasn't there when the doctors made the call. Emily's labor was progressing so slowly, I thought I'd have the time to have the doctors in the Emergency room take a look at an allergic reaction I was having in my left eye. (I was in the building, so why not?). As soon as I checked into the ER, I got the cellphone call from Emily -- she needed me, stat. 40 minutes later, we had the pleasure of meeting our son.

Checking In To The Hospital
And here we are, checked in to lucky Room 313. That's the me, the nervous father, crouched up in the corner. Apparently, worrying does not expedite the process!
