Wow. I had almost forgotten how magical, worrisome and amazing the whole birth process can be. Glad things worked out as they should. Let's hear it for Clodfobble, Mini-Fob, and modern obstetrics!

Holy moly this last 9 months (and a few days or so) has gone by so fast!!

Well.... for the rest of us probably.

What a beautiful baby! And my goodness - your family is just picture perfect!
Congratulations on your fantastic accomplishment.

Ooooh ohhh wait - do I get to be the first to ask "when are you going to have another one"??

Conratulations, he is absolutely adorable. Ditto on the sleep advice (sorry). I felt like you, too high to sleep when I had the chance. At least lay down and put your feet up. You'll be amazed how many times you'll drift off too

ENJOY!!!

Thanks everyone! We're still doing great. I got 5 whole hours of sleep last night, broken into only two blocks, and I feel fantastic this morning.

Nope. It's basically equivalent to crying inside the womb, sometimes you just don't know what's upsetting them.

Don't know exactly, but I'm certainly not thinking there will need to be any specific reason to delay. I do want my kids to be close enough in age that they can play together. Given how hard it was to have the first one, it will probably entail waiting to see whether this pregnancy has kicked my body into normal behavior or whether the process will take some time again.
