our television debut

What a blast! Jeremy came along as our "support person" and got to accompany us on set. Unfortunately we didn't realize he could have brought the camera with him and taken a pic of us on the couches. I'm still kicking myself about this missed photo op. Perhaps we can capture a still from video.

Anyway Quincy, our Plunket nurse, and I were interviewed by the wacky Steve who was filling in for the usual host. He made us feel pretty comfortable with his craziness. Beforehand he made reference to babies who look like they've eaten all the other babies. Luckily he restrained himself a bit during the live segment. He did, however, talk about stuff he wasn't really supposed to, like dummies (pacifiers) and bottle feeding, both of which aren't exactly promoted by Plunket. He caught me a bit off guard with "Did you love him straightaway?" Not exactly the "Is he smiling yet?" type questions I was prepared for! Quincy was so cooperative. He started fussing a bit but was pacified by my finger. And then at the end he cried on cue when Steve asked Nicola the reasons babies cry. Perfect.

We aren't likely to forget this anytime soon. We can't wait to show Q the DVD when he gets older.

And now a few pics of our big debut.
