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.
I love him so much.
Stumble it!

He is gorgeous! Get some rest and enjoy getting to know your sweet little guy!

So, so happy for your family, and that you’re on the other side of the birth. That picture makes me tear up, as the look of pure mama bliss on your face says it all. Much joy to you, Aaron, and the rest of your family. You’re amazing.

Welcome, Aaron! We love you already!
He is beautiful! And so are you! Well done, Momma!
He’s very cute! I am glad that your ordeal is over. I kept checking this site and wondering what on earth was going on?
Funny but you and one other lady are the only two blogs that I read who were pregnant and you both delivered on the 19th. Strange coincidence.
Best wishes and congrats to your whole family!
For once I don’t have much to say – my heart is full and my eyes immediately filled with tears. I am so happy that you are happy. He is perfect.
Love.
Well that there is a beautiful thousand words. Congrats!

Take the time to drink in the music that is new baby sounds. We’ll be here-I can let out the breath I’ve been holding, praying everything is okay with you and Aaron.
Congratulations, L. Welcome to the world, Aaron. You have a wonderful Mom.

Congratulations. Mother and child look lovely. Well … little boys don’t look ‘lovely’ – they’re cute or handsome or adorable – but in my book – and in THAT picture, mother and child look absolutely lovely.
Oh, I’m so happy for you.
Yippee! Congrats to you all –
best wishes that Aaron Michael will enjoy health, happiness, strength, wisdom, wealth, peace, joy, a penchant for vibrant colors, fitness, invigorating love for all things good, and a new pair of bellbottoms with a paisley print.

So much love in one photo. Congratulations!
What a beautiful baby boy, well done! I always forget how tiny they are at birth..bet during recovery you’d disagree about how ’small’ he is. Wishing you every happiness and strength during recovery so you can go home with your family.
He looks like Jon!!! Soooo sweet! And you had him on MY birthday, too! And his name is Aaron!!!! (I know you didn’t name him after me, but still…pretty cool!) Congrats! I miss the smell of babies!
Awwww
YEAH!!!!!! Congratulations on the long awaited beautiful baby boy. GET SOME REST.

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.
Aaron, you’ve got yourself one awesome Mom there! Welcome to the world!
He is so precious. Hang in there and recover quickly. I am so very happy for you, girl.
Almost makes me want to have another…almost. ;)
Congratulations, honey!
Congratulations. Oddly enough, i thought you had at least 1.5 more years of gestation for this one.
Aaron looks incredibly kissable. Congratulations!
Yay! I’m so happy for you and the rest of the family. And recovery, reshmovery, you have a new little guy to cuddle with ALL THE TIME (I say).

I’m so glad that you’re recovering and have your baby safe in your arms. I thought of you a lot over the last few days.
Oh so happy for you! Congratulations!
He is beautiful! Congrats!!
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
Happy Congratulaions to you and the family!!! He is just perfect. Be well!
Congratulations to you and Jonathan.

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!!
