I didn't intend to drop off blogging after the birth of my son, but here I am. Taking care of him takes more out of me than I thought it would and it makes me happier than I thought I could be after November 7th, 2007. I keep feeling like I need to spend some time here, to tell the story of his birth and how terrifying it was to see him being bagged and the NICU team fill the room in the minutes after he was born. But I don't have that kind of time, at least I don't feel like I do right now. He is ok, he is healthy, that is end story here. He is here, his brother is not. I understand this now.

He is absolutely gorgeous. I am glad you are all ok. And it's ok to not have the energy for anything else right now. Enjoy him!

That is just the most precious picture.

Every time I think I would stop writing, or have nothing more to write, ideas start to come, things need to be said.

Thinking of you.

Oh, he is so sweet. Beautiful.

It sounds like it was very dramatic and frightening for sure. Enjoy your time right now, hope to hear from you again when things calm down some (*hugs*) Until then- thinking of you.

What a squishy adorable face he is making! Toooo cute!

Yes, taking care of one with you and one not is doubly exhausting.

I am glad he is here safe and sound. NICU scary but over.

take care

He really, truly, is the cutest baby in the world. Hands down.

He looks like E.T.

He made my heart go funny, just then .... all the pain and heartache you have been through, to get to this moment.

You don't have to write anything out if you don't want to. Nobody is the boss of you.

Love you mate XOXOXOXOX

I understand, it's hard for me to keep up, at all.

But he's lovely, and I am so very glad for you. If you get a chance, update when you can, you'll stay on my bloglines. ((hugs))
