the happiest ending

At long last, baby Anderson Lee:






Our sweet baby boy was born as scheduled on September 17, weighing in at a very sturdy 8lb 15oz. We entered the OR at 11:00am, and shortly after, the room was filled with the sounds of the sweetest newborn screeches and the laughter and sobs of two very blissed out, thankful, amazed parents. Parents! Us! It was only when I heard Dr. S tell me he saw our baby's (huge) head and was about to take him out that I let go of my fears and really, truly let myself believe that our baby had made it, he was here, one journey ending as another very exciting one began. Life is so very, very good. We are happier than we had ever imagined we could be. From here....I think it's time to close this blog. It seems most fitting to let this post be the finale, and move on to a new place, a place I can fill with mundane mommy type ramblings and incessent pictures of little A that only our nearest and dearest will appreciate (or politely pretend to appreciate). I don't know. What I do know is that the little man snoozing in my lap, making sweet sleeping baby squeaks, has made us complete. At last!

Okay, but if you start a new blog, I HAVE to be invited to keep up on you...or at least until I see A's sign in his room. =) Seriously, where are you gonna go? Are you going to start a new blog? Please do...I want to watch A grow!

I have been {silently} following your blog for awhile now. I found it through the nest, and I think I remembered once talking to you about ND! Anyway, I thought I'd come out of lurking because you deserve a huge congratulations on your baby boy!

I really like when people are expressing their opinion and thought. So I like the way you are writing

I would appreciate more visual materials, to make your blog more attractive, but your writing style really compensates it. But there is always place for improvement
