Momma and legume returned home this afternoon, bringing the child inside the Beltway where she belongs for the first time. Don't go back to Rockville, Isabel!

There is now some controversy about whether Isabel really had the cord wrapped around her neck. The midwife seems to think that it was not -- the baby's position was just bad -- but the nurse who had attended Julie told me it was. Either way, we think it is probably best to just go wireless.

I have officially entered the realm of new-dadhood by buying a camcorder. Expect to see video of Pinto Bean spitting up shortly.
