Maxwell Thomas

Maxwell Thomas Bloxom decided, without consulting his parents, it was his
time to emerge from his warm, dark, safe, and cozy little existence into the real cold, real dry, real loud, and real REAL world in which he was intended -- albeit 8 weeks early. 4 lbs. 11 oz. & 18" long.

My wife was amazing. Our kid was amazing. His first little ticked-off cry exactly 1.3 seconds into the open air completely floored me, and I think all of us in the room let out one giant collective sigh of relief. He's got some work to do getting used to breathing and digesting, but other than that, there are no defects we can see. His 5 minute APGAR was 9 of 10.

We will never be the same...
