Here are some pictures from the hospital. I spent no time post-processing these or anything, but you all deserve to see what a cutie-patootie he is!
As always, click on the photos for a good-looking version.

Freckle Has Arrived!

Hi everyone!
We are thrilled to welcome Isaac Hoang-Long Browdy to the family!
He was born on August 19, 2012 at 2:16 am. He weighed in at 8 pounds, 1 ounce and he’s a towering 20 inches long. Jenny and Isaac are both healthy and doing great.
Isaac is named after his great grandfather Aaron Suchonitzki. We’ve created a page on the blog to talk a bit about his names, why we chose them and what they means to us. You can find it HERE.
Keep an eye on the blog (now called isaac.browdy.net) for more updates!
Love,
Papa-D and Jenny

Well after 12 hours with minimal change,we decided to head to the hospital to get checked out. We are there now and we’re waiting to see if they’re going to send us home or not. More news as it comes!
PS – I’m posting from my phone right now so please excuse the brevity and typos
EDIT 9:58pm – Okay so it looks like we’re staying here tonight. Still not into the full-on labor yet, this is going to be a long one. Labor started around 6am this morning.

Hey everyone,
Well you all have been really awesome about not bombarding us since I made my last post, thank you! Since you’ve been so good, and I *did* solemnly swear, I thought I’d let you all know that Jenny is now having some very early labor contractions. They’re still kind of irregular, but they’re definitely not the “practice” ones. More than that I can’t say… we’re kind of new at this.
We weren’t sure whether to tell anyone or not since it will be hours yet before anything happens, but I reminded Jenny that I promised and so she had to agree. That doesn’t mean you can bombard us now, by the way! We’ll still keep you posted when we go to the hospital and such, don’t worry.
Oh and Uncle Tad, Chung and Matt Weinberg may want to keep a close eye on this space!

Shh, I Have a Secret!

You wanna hear my secret? It’s a shocker… you might want to be sitting down for this one: Freckle was born a week ago and we didn’t tell anyone.
Hard to believe? That’s because it’s not true! Why in the world would we keep something like that a secret? We wouldn’t. In fact, I can say with authority, that we will be posting on the blog and on FaceBook as soon as Jenny shows any signs of anything happening. We will likely be posting updates through the whole process. I’ll be shooting photos and posting them. This will be a public event.
Why do I mention this? Because it seems like every 5 minutes or so, someone else is calling, texting, FaceBooking, or just plain asking about how things are going. It’s making me anxious and uncomfortable. Trust me, we’re all ready to go and we’re just waiting. Being constantly reminded of the fact that crazy shit is about to go down is very stressful for me.
So let’s make a deal. I SOLEMNLY SWEAR TO PUBLICIZE ANY PERTINENT NEWS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. All I ask from you is to have some self-control and patience and stop asking me about it. TIA!
