After rides at the Waterfront Village.
Vital Statistics
Visiting Rhett in the NICU.
Placenta Digest interviews David Lesh about the birth of his second child.
- P.D.: Where does the name Rhett William Lesh come from?
- D.L.: The name "Rhett" is after my oldest friend James Rhett Murfitt. "William" is after my uncle Bill Maley.
- P.D.: How is Porter taking the news of his new brother?
- D.L.: He's fairly apathetic about it. He hasn't quite wrapped his head around the fact that he won't be the center of attention anymore.
- P.D.: How's mom doing?
- D.L.: She's sore, very sore. Delivery was quite tough but ultimately a success. She should be coming home tomorrow.
- P.D.: And Rhett?
- D.L.: He's been in the neonatal intensive care unit from the beginning, but he's doing well. He's starting to eat on his own though he still has a feeding tube. He's badly bruised but any Lesh can take a punch. He'll be home soon.
- P.D.: And how are you holding up?
- D.L.: Any new child will cut into your drinking and television time, and Rhett is no exception. I'm holding up as well as can be expected.
- P.D.: Do you have any advice for new / expectant fathers?
- D.L.: Bring your cell phone charger to the hospital.

Went to CIRQUE DU SOLEIL last night.
We watched Kiss Me Deadly last night. This 1955 motion picture starred Ralph Meeker as Mike Hammer. Hammer’s apartment has the biggest, oldest answering machine known to man. At least its a built in.
Porter is five on Monday. We celebrated today.
