Hi Jess,
total lurker here (3 years and counting). BUT this is the best opportunity to de-lurk and say a huge congratulations to you and your family. I have loved reading about your pregnancy etc having had my wee boy last february. Motherhood is challenging of course, but SO awesome. You will love it and be a great mum.

hydrogeek said...

I came over after seeing you twitter with lifeinatinytown about nursing worries, and wanted to let you know that it took FIVE FULL DAYS with my second baby before my milk ever really let down. He nursed constantly, and I was engorged and in pain, but after that, he nursed until well over a year old. Hang in there! He is beautiful!!

Elizabeth said...

He's perfect, and your family is just so beautiful. I'm so thrilled for you (and so very excited to know someone else with a baby around the same age!)!

brandyismagic said...

YAY!! He's absolutely adorable. Well done, mama!
