I’m so sorry for the delay. I didn’t want to say anything until I could say exactly what I wanted to say, but I am having a pretty difficult recovery. My levels are really low and I’m on so many drugs I keep crashing and falling asleep every time I try to write or am not busy with baby.
So, words will have to wait.
Just know they are there.
And they are joyful.
More joy than I ever thought would be possible for me to feel again.













Mazel tov on Aaron’s birth. I wish you and your family only the best. Try to rest and gain your strength. We will all be thinking about you.
Congrats Lady!

I still can’t believe he is here! I know we don’t know each other, but I have been fretting and worrying for two days about your labor and being in so much pain, especially after the pregnancy and money issues.
It brought tears to my eyes to read your blog today and see that he is here! Congratulations Mom!
Sniff him twice for me, once on his head and once right behind his right ear where it touches his shoulder.
Congrats lady. Congrats.
So freaking precious! Please give him that neck nuzzle for me…congratulations, Mama. Thanks for the pic. You’re gorgeous as ever.

Loralee,
Words cannot discribe how happy I am for your new little man. I have worried and prayed for this day. He is so precious. He is perfect. He is pure. I do not doubt for a moment that he is sent here for you…..he chose you as his mother. You are a truly blessed mother, woman, wife, and friend. The heavens are open and the angels announce his arrival. He had a personal escort. I am over the moon with joy. Take it all in. Dont waste a moment. Dont forget a smell. Forget regret or life is yours to miss. Sorry, I couldnt help myself.
Welcome to the world little Aaron. It is a pleasure to greet you. I hope that I get to meet you one day.
Mr. E

Hello and CONGRATULATIONS!!!
I enjoy your blog and check it from time to time. I believe we were due around the same time and apparently delivered around the same time. I was due 6.12.09 but delivered 5.22.09 ( 2 girls by c-section at 37 weeks).
Such a handsome new boy you have there. Love his pics. You all look like you had the best time even while you were laboring in agony. Kudos ! My hospital pics will never ever never see the light of day.
Best wishes!!
