We think Nick is glad to be home.

Lisa’s mother is improving!

Thursday, March 25th, 2004

Today Judy woke up and was even speaking. Lisa’s dad showed her a photograph I had taken of Nick, and that seemed to bring her out of her coma a bit. She’s not out of the woods, but we can expect her to continually improve with time. She was able to meet her grandson for the first time this afternoon. It was an emotional experience to say the least, but we’re all thankful for it. Lisa’s family and I want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers – it’s worked. It’s nothing less than a miracle that Judy woke up to see her grandson.

I’m sure everyone wants more baby photos – so I’ll take some more tomorrow. I have only slept about 6 hours since Monday, so tonight I’m crashing at home. I think I’ve earned some time in my recliner with a beer.

Thanks
-Sean

He’s Arrived!

On March 23, 2004 at 10:23pm Nicholas William Yunt came into the world. He weighed 9lbs 4oz. and was almost 21 inches long.
Lisa needs to spend a few more days in the hospital to recover, but both she and baby are doing great. Everything went perfect.

I’ve got a handful of photos posted already. More or on the way, but I’ve got to get back to the hospital before rush hour. Thanks to everyone who’s been so supportive through all of this. We’re really blessed to have the friends and family that we do.

Ultrasound video #2

Friday, March 19th, 2004

Today we had our second ultrasound video.

The good news is, he’s perfectly healthy and looking well. The less good news is, they estimate he weighs in at 9lbs. 6oz. That’s right, nearly 9.5 lbs. I’m sure Lisa will elaborate on the situation in a blog very soon.

Lawrence Lessig is a smart man. Check out this article about a recent appearance he made:

An excerpt that I found very insightful:

“Daguerre created his photo process in 1839. It was cumbersome, difficult to use, and expensive. Photography’s growth chart was very slow, to say the least. In 1888, George Eastman invented the Kodak camera, which was much easier to use, and inexpensive. The photography growth chart took off very fast. Eastman didn’t need ‘permission’ to build a better camera. Had there been restrictions on Daguerre’s idea early on, the history of photography would be very different from what we have today,” Lessig said.
