ahh, I can't believe he came! And how did you get so lucky with the easiest pregnancy followed by the easiest labor? Okay, it might not have been easy and I shouldn't assume that, but 1.5 hours??? You'll have to live in the hospital to be there in time for your next kid! Holy cow! He is absolutely adorable. Enjoy him!!! I can't wait to hear the details of your story!

Kate said...

Okay, I just looked at each individual picture of him zoomed in, and he is absolutely gorgeous! And so little! They grow up so fast. Take lots of pictures and enjoy every moment! Oh, and if you find him drowning in all of his clothes, Gerber brand runs small, if that's helpful. :) Hannah was 8 lbs 6 oz and completely skipped their newborn size.

Congrats! Funny, you were probably pregnant when we moved but not announcing yet...so I didn't even really know you were pregnant till I saw your status on facebook today that you had your baby!! So I was pleasantly surprised for you! Yay so exciting! Its kinda crazy figuring it all out at first, but it is SO much fun being a mom! I am loving it, and TJ is 8 months old now! Good luck with it all, it was fun to see your blog.

Yay! We're so happy for you guys!!! Carters has cute premie clothes if you are looking for something to fit him really well for pictures or something. (I wish you lived close because then you could just borrow ours). I hope mommy and baby (and daddy too) are doing well. Enjoy being new parents. :)
