Welcome, Baby!


Hello, world.

This is Jeffrey, my baby sister's first (and after 18 hours of labor, she thinks "only") baby.

He came yesterday via C-section at 3:39 p.m. weighing in at 8 lbs 6 oz. and 21 inches long.
I met him a half hour after he was born. Oh, so fresh from heaven.

I am smitten.

with time you forget and want another...its the beauty of motherhood...took me three times to figure it all out and go HECK NO...and yet - i feel that tug every once and a while...a new tiny baby, with that smell. The way the move in your arms, and nursing and cuddeling...crud - now i want another.

Thanks, ladies!

This baby is well loved already.

Yesterday, my husband and I visited him and we were transported back to when our boys were babies. The minute I carried him in my arms, the thought entered - maybe another? Then the reality - we're done, in the medical sense. And sadness and gratitute at the same time. :)

Welcome, Jeffery!!!

I hear what you're saying (and brokenwomen, too) about wanting another. We are done in the sense that I had my tubes tied seven years ago. And I am good with that!
But last month my period was late and I was seriously thinking I was pregnant. Until that happened I was sooooo totally convinced being "done" was a good thing. But then thinking I might be pregnant, I got so excited at the prospect. In fact when my period finally did come, I was rather disappointed.
I know it's all up to God, and He will do what is good and right, and BEST. And right now, I think my role with babies is one of supporting other mothers - giving them the break they need so they can love their babies more!

Hope you truly enjoy you're new little nephew!
