| Today is Sarah's 31st birthday and we are planning a celebration day. Not only is there a very tiny perfect little boy to adore, but there other surprise gifts, her DH off work, my DH recently arrived from Toronto...etc.
All is VERY well indeed. Baby so far is not named as girl names were resolved, not boy names! He arrived June 17th, at home as planned, in the hot tub. He was expected to arrive on July 3rd or after, so is indeed the most punctual member on either side of the family! His step brother was present and thrilled to have a boy he says, because sisters "kiss their brothers...YUCK!" In any case, he has shared many kisses with the baby anyway! Baby weighed in at 6 pounds. Although I have taken many photos I am not able to figure it all out yet here, but will add some at a later date. I am just so very happy and thank my many friends who made it possible for me to leave suddenly, caring for our cats, rabbits, Charlotte and the gardens. Life is grand! |
