Taking some time to orient our new Dolan to this world
This is one of Maxwell's first photo-shoots. Spittin' image of me isn't he!? I'll be taking off a couple of months from blogging to take care of Maxwell.
Here's a bit that I wrote in the dizziness of the early hours of my wife's labor (and forgot to publish at the time):
Talk about open loops. The past few hours, as we work through these early contractions and watch them get more regular and frequent, has been like an open loop fest. Any uncollected (and many previously unconscious) things I've had my attention on have been bubbling up like bubbles in a champaign glass. Noticing my own psyche spin with excitement and wonder and nervousness as I cycle through my own anticipation and support AnneLise through her own journey and Max's transition to this world.
Can't wait to hold him in my hands.
Michael

Thanks! Actually, this is our #2. Mari, our first is now two-and-a-half and seems to be adjusting as well as can be expected to her newfound non-only-child-ness...
