Fussy's Newest Blessing
Thank you for the hundreds of emails and comment messages. I have read and cherished every. single. one. Your prayers, well wishes and love mean so much to me and will be such a treasure to show him one day. What a gift for him to see that he was surrounded with love from all over the world.
What? Get on with it. Stop chatting and show you the pictures? Whoops, how rude of me.
Here he is...
You know I love you immensely when I share a photo from the birth with you.
I was instantly in love.
The boys were thrilled to meet him and to kiss Mommy again.
I am so happily outnumbered!
Mr. Smartypants and I spend inordinate amounts of time just staring at him and congratulating each other. Did you notice a cute little monkey on my back?
Now we are home and my computer stays quiet because I am busy doing this...
And I spend hours watching him sleep,
and relishing every moment of holding him, smelling him and kissing his sweet face. I know all too well how quickly it passes. He will grow into a wonderful big boy before my eyes just as his brothers have.
But for now, I will soak in every last moment of this.
Love you, Fussy

Posted by: Fitarella | May 19, 2008 at 08:34 AM
GORGEOUS! We are done (after 3...because not NEAR as brave as Fussy)...but after viewing these precious newborn photos I'm fighting the urge to RUN to my garage sale stuff (having a sale in a couple weeks) to dig out all of my newborn stuff...because NO!!!! It can't be over!!!! Keep havin' 'em Fussy....so I can live vicariously through you. It's either you or that Duggar lady...and I find you way more funny. Congrats....and way to fight the frump!

Oh Alli!!! He's beautiful, and I adore you in the pearls!
I got my necklace and earrings Saturday. I'm in love with them!! Beautiful!
I remember just sitting and smelling them, watching them breathe and just relishing in their miraculous being. :-)
Enjoy, love!!
Posted by: rachel | May 19, 2008 at 09:04 AM
Oh, Fussy, He is BEAUTIFUL! And look how good you look post-birth, Girlfriend! Pearls and all! I love it.
Yes, you are decidedly outnumbered! I'm glad it's happily!
You just have me all teary-eyed this morning with those photos and invocations of the beauty of the first days home with new baby! Enjoy. The Internet will still be here when you are done snuggling!
CONGRATULATIONS!
