Kristen looks relaxed after her waters are broken.

First-ever photo of Jamie, aged two minutes.

Jamie's toes!

Jamie meeting Kristen, lying beside her on the operating table.

John, Jamie and Kristen (still on the operating table).

Dad shares his first quiet time with his 31-minute-old son, waiting for mom.

Grandma Laraine helps Kristen with Jamie.

Jamie in full glory.

Jamie's tired after his second feeding on the first morning of his life.

Thank you, TEGH!

Jamie meets his proud Obaasama (John's mom Hisae).

Kristen reads the baby weblog for the first time. Note splendid floral arrangement in background, from John's brother Ted and his wife Alice. (Note to self: take closeup that does flowers better justice.)

"I'm 15 hours old and I'm hungry!"

"Okay, I think I've figured out that that black box with the lens in front is my dad."

Power to the people.

"I wonder what I'll be when I grow up."

"There was something I was supposed to do today. What was it?"

"Mom's thumb is a lot bigger than mine."

Dr. Evil's Mini-Me plots world domination.

"I'm full of colostrum, time for a nap."

"I could take a nap, or I could just smile in my swaddling."

Proud midwives Chris Sternberg and Ren Barrett.

Jamie models a sleeper, a gift from Vivienne Muhling (not as originally reported, Kristiina Overton - my mistake!).

Kristen celebrates the removal of her catheter and the imminent removal of her IV tube with a quick jog down the hall.

Gary Sagara and Ayami Imazu meet Jamie. Nursing pillow from Howard and Vicky To (thank you!).
